Funded Activity Summary

Testing new theoretical models of sperm allocation: does competition for mates compromise male fertility? In order to reproduce, males must invest resources into competing for females at a cost to their investment in fertility. The project will develop and test new evolutionary theory that explores how male reproductive biology evolves in the face of this unappreciated constraint, research that will provide general insight into male fertility and infertility.
