The role of genetic diversity in the evolution and maintenance of environmentally-cued, male alternative reproductive tactics

Abstract Background Alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) are taxonomically pervasive strategies adopted by individuals to maximize reproductive success within populations. Even for conditionally-dependent traits, consensus postulates most ARTs involve both genetic and environmental interactions (...
