Clutch size and mating frequency in parasitic hymenoptera
A comparative review of 97 species of parasitic Hymenoptera reveals that solitary species (in which a female lays one egg in a host) tend to be monandrous, and gregarious species (in which a female lays several eggs in a host) tend to be polyandrous. Sib competition may be the reason: in gregarious species, more similar genotypes compete more closely, and diversification of progeny is more advantageous. The review also suggests that females in gregarious species have a higher total lifetime fecundity and live longer than do females in solitary species.

Various scholars offer commentary on Mace and Pagel's argument, and Mace and Pagel respond by reiterating the importance of philogeny, which they use in its broadest sense meaning the \"origin of groups.\"
