“…Females will mate multiple times with the same male but prefer new unmated males (Jones et al, 2006) and males of intermediate age in choice tests . In previous studies females that mated multiple times both with the same and novel partners had higher fecundity than females that mated once (McNamara et al, 2008). In our experiment the treatment which had four total adults produced the highest overall numbers of progeny.…”

“…D. maculatus aggregates in groups of 1e13 adults on patchy resources for feeding and mating McNamara et al, 2004;Jones et al, 2006Jones et al, , 2007McNamara et al, 2008). Adults of D. maculatus are sexually dimorphic with females having a considerably larger size than males (Archer and Elgar, 1998).…”

“…Rice (2004) modelled the fitness dynamics of fecundity assuming mating scenarios represented by one female and one male only (see also Pollak, 1978). However, this assumption is a simplification of the dynamics of selection from variance in fecundity within populations, as it is broadly recognized that female multiple-mating (both remating and polyandry) influences fitness through increases in fecundity in a wide diversity of organisms, from invertebrates to vertebrates (Gwynne, 1984; Ridley, 1988; Madsen et al, 1992; Karlsson, 1998; Arnqvist & Nilsson, 2000; Eady et al, 2000; Evans & Magurran, 2000; Wiklund et al, 2001; Woolfenden et al, 2002; Kamimura, 2003; Vahed, 2003; Lewis et al, 2004; Torres-Vila et al, 2004; Bjork & Pitnick, 2006; Schwartz & Peterson, 2006; Engqvist, 2007; Gershman, 2007; LaDage et al, 2008; Lorch et al, 2008; McNamara et al, 2008b; Slatyer et al, 2012). This view is reinforced by the overwhelming evidence that female multiple mating is common in a wide diversity of species (Birkhead & Møller, 1998; Simmons, 2001; Cornell & Tregenza, 2007).…”

Fitness results from the optimal balance between survival, mating success and fecundity. The interactions between these three components of fitness vary importantly depending on the selective context, from positive covariation between them, to antagonistic pleiotropic relationships when fitness increases in one reduce fitness of others. Therefore, elucidating the routes through which selection shapes life history and phenotypic adaptations via these fitness components is of primary significance to understand ecological and evolutionary dynamics. However, while the fitness components mediated by natural (survival) and sexual (mating success) selection have extensively been debated from most possible perspectives, fecundity selection remains considerably less studied. Here, we review the theory, evidence and implications of fecundity selection as a driver of sex-specific adaptive evolution. Based on accumulating literature on the life-history, phenotypic and ecological aspects of fecundity, we (i) suggest that ‘fecundity’ is restricted to refer to brood size per reproductive episode, while ‘annual’ and ‘lifetime fecundity’ should not be used interchangeably with ‘fecundity’ as they represent different life history parameters; (ii) provide a generalized redefinition of fecundity selection that encompasses any traits that influence fecundity in any direction (from high to low) and in either sex; (iii) review the (macro)ecological basis of fecundity selection (e.g., ecological pressures that influence predictable spatial variation in fecundity); (iv) suggest that most ecological theories of fecundity selection should be tested in organisms other than birds; (v) argue that the longstanding fecundity selection hypothesis of female-biased sexual size dimorphism (SSD) has gained inconsistent support, that strong fecundity selection does not necessarily drive female-biased SSD, and that this form of SSD can be driven by other selective pressures; and (vi) discuss cases in which fecundity selection operates on males.

“…Increased reproductive success is one of the most common benefits of polyandry (e.g. Arnqvist & Nilsson, 2000;Fedorka & Mousseau, 2002;McNamara, Brown, Elgar, & Jones, 2007;Newcomer, Zeh, & Zeh, 1999;Wagner et al, 2001). The total number of spiderlings produced by a female over her lifetime and across all of her eggsacs was our third fitness proxy.…”
