Female egg investment in relation to male sexual traits and the potential for transgenerational effects in sexual selection
Life-history theory predicts that individuals should increase their reproductive effort when the fitness return from reproduction is high. Females mated with high-quality males are therefore expected to have higher investment than females mated with low-quality males, which could bias estimates of p...
