Abstract
► We examined the effects of sexual harassment on sailfin mollies exposed to different levels of male presence. ► Sexual harassment caused a decrease in male body condition and had a direct negative effect on female fitness. ► Male sexual harassment behaviours were not additive. ► Thus, degree of male harassment towards females and male:female sex ratio appear to have a nonlinear relationship.
