Understanding mating systems is a pillar of behavioural ecology, placing the complex
interactions between females and males into a reproductive context. The field of multiple …

Multiple paternity (MP) is defined as the behaviour in which females successfully mate with
multiple males leading to offspring from different sires within the same litter. MP seems to be …

Understanding dispersal in large marine fauna is necessary for conservation, but movement
patterns often vary widely by sex and life stage. In sharks, genetic studies have shown …
