Auspex Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Among R-adapted species (fewer offspring, requiring more care), the norm is for the females to control mate selection (including multiple mates). I had not thought that this would be usual at all among the K-adapted species (lots of offspring with little or no care).
