Polyandry and fecundity in the Lepidoptera: can methodological and conceptual approaches bias outcomes? (2004, background): “Each group consists, however, of a mixture of female phenotypes that may have very different propensities to mate multiply (TorresVila et al. 2001, 2002; Wedell et al. 2002).”
Mating rate and fitness in female bean weevils (2005, background): “Our results suggest that multiple mating is associated with several interacting direct costs and benefits in C. maculatus and that this could potentially result in two distinct and viable mating strategies (see also Wedell et al. 2002).”
Male mating history and female fecundity in the Lepidoptera: do male virgins make better partners? (2005, background): “Our alternative explanation draws on recent work showing that polyandrous and monandrous female phenotypes (Torres-Vila et al. 2002), or “alternative lifestyles” (Wedell et al. 2002), coexist within a species.”
