Journal ArticleDOI
Sperm competition, male prudence and sperm-limited females
TL;DR: This work focuses on studies showing that males assess mating status and relative fecundity of females, and reveals that modulation of ejaculate investment by males can sometimes result in sperm limitation for females.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic compatibility, mate choice and patterns of parentage: invited review.
TL;DR: There is growing interest in the possibility that genetic compatibility may drive mate choice, including gamete choice, particularly from the perspective of understanding why females frequently mate with more than one male, and whether there is any evidence for mate choice driven by these factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyandrous females avoid costs of inbreeding
Tom Tregenza,Nina Wedell +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that in crickets, the eggs of females that mate only with siblings have decreased hatching success, but if females mate with both a sibling and a non-sibling they avoid altogether the low egg viability associated with sibling matings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benefits of multiple mates in the cricket gryllus bimaculatus.
Tom Tregenza,Nina Wedell +1 more
TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that certain males are genetically more compatible with certain females, and that this drives polyandry through differential fertilization success of sperm from more compatible males.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ecology and Evolutionary Dynamics of Meiotic Drive

TL;DR: Current knowledge of how natural drive systems function, how drivers spread through natural populations, and the factors that limit their invasion are reviewed.
