Sexual selection on population-level mating opportunities drives morph ratios in a fig wasp with extreme male dimorphism
BACKGROUND: Alternative mating tactics are widespread in animals and associated with extreme morphological polymorphism in some insects. Some fig wasps have both highly modified wingless males and dispersing winged males. Wingless males mate inside figs before females disperse, while winged males ma...
