Males with the largest antlers are more likely to obtain mates and achieve the highest fertilization success due to their competitiveness, dominance and high phenotypic quality.

Males with the largest antlers are more likely to obtain mates and achieve fertilization success.

Genetically modified salmon's lack of fertilization success can be attributed to nest fidelity, quivering frequency, and spawn participation.

Sexual selection is defined as the consistent relationship between traits and fertilization success and/or fertility.

Dr. Arnqvist proposes that nearly every fillip, flange and blade somehow plays a role in assuring its owner's fertilization success.

The fertilization success of males that were secondary mates increased as their body size relative to the first male increased.

Ms. Andrade demonstrated the differences in fertilization success between cannibalized and noncannibalized males experimentally, by using males that had been sterilized with radiation.

Therefore, there is no benefit to polyandry in terms of offspring survival to offset the high cost of reduced fertilization success and occasional female mortality.
