Genetic compatibility and hatching success in the sea lamprey ( Petromyzon marinus )
Recent discussion of genetic benefits of polyandry and female mate choice has distinguished between two potential factors influencing offspring quality: (i) some males carry higher quality genes and (ii) males and females differ in their degree of genetic compatibility. We examined evidence for effe...
