The effects of mating with multiple males on reproductive success of a female: An experimental study in leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius)
 Ševčíková, Pavlína ; Frynta, Daniel (advisor) ; Rehák, Ivan (referee)
The aim of the project was to test female advantages of promiscuous and/or polyandrous mating. Although, previous studies reported improved reproductive success of females copulating with multiple males in many model species, including Eublepharis macularius, this study failed to demonstrate such a benefit of polyandry. Traits reflecting female reproductive success, i.e. the number of produced eggs, egg mass, hatchability, hatchling mass, growth and survival were not influenced by copulation with multiple partners, but some of them were dependent on female condition. Only initial stages of juvenile growth were influenced by female identity and/or investment.
