Effects of nutrient limitation on sperm and seminal fluid: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Theory predicts that costly sexual traits should be reduced when individuals are in poor
condition (ie traits should exhibit condition‐dependent expression). It is therefore widely …

Does mating negatively affect female immune defences in insects?
Immunity is an important mechanism of protection against pathogens and parasites. One
factor that can influence immunity is mating. During mating, male-derived materials are …

Polyandry has no detectable mortality cost in female mammals
JF Lemaitre, JM Gaillard - PLoS One, 2013 - journals.plos.org
In several taxonomic groups, females mate with several males during a single reproductive
cycle. Although there is evidence that polyandry provides some benefits to females, it often …

The evolution of animal nuptial gifts
Animal nuptial gifts display multitudinous forms, and such gifts are especially interesting
because they sit at the intersection of sexual selection, foraging ecology, and life-history …

Structural complexity and molecular heterogeneity of a butterfly ejaculate reflect a complex history of selection
Male ejaculates are often structurally complex, and this complexity is likely to influence key
reproductive interactions between males and females. However, despite its potential …

Weighing costs and benefits of mating in bushcrickets (Insecta: Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), with an emphasis on nuptial gifts, protandry and mate density
GUC Lehmann - Frontiers in zoology, 2012 - Springer
Sexual selection is a major force driving evolution and is intertwined with ecological factors.
Differential allocation of limited resources has a central role in the cost of reproduction. In …

Divergence in transcriptional and regulatory responses to mating in male and female fruitflies
Mating induces extensive physiological, biochemical and behavioural changes in female
animals of many taxa. In contrast, the overall phenotypic and transcriptomic consequences …

Correlated evolution of female neoteny and flightlessness with male spermatophore production in fireflies (Coleoptera: Lampyridae)
The beetle family Lampyridae (fireflies) encompasses∼ 100 genera worldwide with
considerable diversity in life histories and signaling modes. Some lampyrid males use …

Experimental evidence for female mate choice in a noctuid moth
Sexual signal evolution is shaped by whether only one or both sexes execute mate choice.
When mate choice by both sexes is considered, the same signalling modality is generally …

Reproductive performance of the European grapevine moth Lobesia botrana (Tortricidae) is adversely affected by warming scenario
Abstract The European grapevine moth, Lobesia botrana (Denis and Schiffermüller), is an
important grape pest worldwide. To forecast how this species might respond to climate …
