摘要: Abstract Of the two components of sexual selection, female choice is much less obvious than male—male competition, and hence has always been considered to be secondary importance. However, recent field observations new theory have brought about a radical change emphasis. It now appears that although female's who fathers her offspring often occurs in subtle manner, it may widespread take place through variety behavioural physiological mechanisms, including manipulation male behaviour selection sperm within reproductive tract.
