Journal Article
(Lissotriton vulgaris). Biology Letters, 3, 526-528. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2007.0311

Under sperm competition, paternity is
apportioned by polyandrous females according
to the order of matings and the genetic quality
of the inseminating males. In order to distinguish
between these two effects, we sequentially
