 Many evidences have begun to reveal flaws in the assumption of female passivity and lack of discrimination after copulation has begun. This book features research on the ability of females to shape the outcome of mating. It also describes studies of cryptic mechanisms by which a female can accept a male for copulation but reject him as a father.
