Description
This research investigated how the first brood of Poecilia latipinna varied in size, fry characteristics, and interbrood interval when females were only able to rely on stored sperm (compared to females that were remated). Females were isolated after giving birth and then either given access to a potential mate or remain in isolation. Brood sizes, fry sizes at days 1 and 7, and inter-brood intervals were all measured
