DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8829
Abstract: Abstract The overproduction of offspring is commonly associated with high hatching failure and a mechanism for dispensing with surplus young. We used experimental evolution of burying beetle populations Nicrophorus vespilloides to determine causality in these… read more here.
