Abstract
⺠Male responses to sperm competition and their fitness effects were studied in mice. ⺠Different social environments had no effect on mating behaviour and paternity success. ⺠Males that had evolved via polygamy had increased mating durations and P2 values. âºÂ Thus, these males had enhanced fitness compared to males from monogamous populations.
