First sentence: My initial review on sperm competition (Parker 1970a), which focused on the insects, attempted to demonstrate that ejaculates commonly overlap in the female tract and to indicate how paternity could be estimated.
Description: Providing a theoretical framework for the study of sperm competition, which is a central part of sexual selection, this book discusses the roles of females and the relationships between paternal care.
