Sperm competition is known to favor the evolution of male traits that confer an advantage in gaining fertilizations when females mate multiply. Ejaculate production can be costly and strategic allocation sperm relation environment a taxonomically widespread phenomenon. However, variation among males their ability adjust ejaculate has rarely been explored. Here, we manipulated phenotypic condition seed beetles,
