Rival seminal fluid induces enhanced sperm motility in a polyandrous ant
BACKGROUND: Promiscuous mating and sperm competition often induce arms races between the sexes with detrimental outcomes for females. However, ants with multiply-inseminated queens have only a single time-window for sperm competition and queens are predicted to gain control over the outcome of sperm...
