Table 1 Experimental design used to assess female choice. Single females from two populations, Sicily and Greece, were offered two males differing in relatedness and/or familiarity to the female (F for familiar, UF for unfamiliar). Distant kin males came from the same population as the female but were no siblings, non-kin males came from the other population. All females and males were virgin and used only once in experiments.
