- Abstract:
- Using microsatellite markers we will test the prediction that variance in mating success is greater amongst male, than female, Trinidadian guppies, Poecilia reticulata, a species with a promiscuous mating system in which female choice appears to play a key role. We will further ask whether male reproductive skew is increased when males depend more on courtship displays and less on sneaky mating tactics. These results will shed light on the evolutionary consequences of individual behaviour.
