Female guppies increase their propensity for polyandry as an inbreeding avoidance strategy
Abstract
Mating with close relatives often causes a decline in offspring fitness, termed inbreeding depression. Consequently, pre- and postcopulatory inbreeding avoidance mechanisms are likely to evolve, especially in females due to their relatively high levels of reproductive investment. If precopulatory inbreeding avoidance mechanisms are absent or unreliable, females may exploit postcopulatory sexually selected inbreeding avoidance mechanisms by...
