Polyandry in the Grouse Locust, Paratettix texanus Hancock, with Notes on Inheritance of Acquired Characters and Telegony

Abstract

The last [male] or [male] [male] copulating with a [female] tended to become the parents of the predominant proportion of her offspring. Of 7 [male] which were placed with 1[female],6 concurrently during a 14-day period shared, respectively, in the parentage of her 102 offspring. The sexual products of none of the [male] appeared to have any effect upon the observable characteristics of the progeny of any other [male] of polyandrous matings.
