For polyandrous species where females have sperm storage structures, males develop
several strategies to avoid sperm competition and thus to maximize the number of eggs …

In polygynous species, the sperm economy hypothesis predicts that males can adjust the
amount of their ejaculate during copulation in response to (1) individual traits of females …

Why do females mate with multiple males? Since females often acquire all the sperm they
need in one mating and since mating is usually costly, the evolution of polyandry is puzzling …

Males with limited sperm reserves should allocate sperm efficiently during the reproductive
season. As efficiency depends on the temporal distribution of mating opportunities with …

Little is known about sperm allocation patterns in crustaceans, especially in anomuran
crabs. We investigated whether male stone crabs, Hapalogaster dentata, change the …

Two laboratory experiments investigated mate guarding and sperm allocation patterns of
adult males with virgin females of the snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio, in relation to sex ratio …

While the four species of horseshoe crabs share many common reproductive traits with
respect to their reproductive systems, they do differ with respect to their mating behavior …

The fiddler crab, Uca tetragonon (Herbst) mates both on the surface near female-defended
burrows and underground in male-defended burrows. In underground mating, which …

The impact of fishing as a driver of sexual selection is not well understood in crustaceans.
Fishing must be viewed as acting in conjunction with, or in opposition to, natural factors …

Reproduction involves high energetic costs which are related to behaviour and gamete
production. In females energy allocation to gamete production has been well documented …
