Extreme Costs of Mating for Male Two-Spot Ladybird Beetles
Male costs of mating are now thought to be widespread. The two-spot ladybird beetle (Adalia bipunctata) has been the focus of many studies of mating and sexual selection, yet the costs of mating for males are unknown. The mating system of A. bipunctata involves a spermatophore nuptial gift ingested by females after copulation. In this study, we investigate the cost to males of mating and of tra...
متن کاملLovesick: Immunological Costs of Mating of Male Sagebrush Crickets
A growing body of evidence suggests that resources invested in sexual signals and other reproductive traits often come at the expense of the ability to mount an immune response. Male sagebrush crickets, Cyphoderris strepitans, offer an unusual nuptial food gift to females during mating: females chew on the tips of males' fleshy hind wings and ingest hemolymph seeping from the wounds they inflic...
متن کاملLovesick: immunological costs of mating to male sagebrush crickets.
A growing body of evidence suggests that resources invested in reproduction often come at the expense of the ability to mount an immune response. During mating, female sagebrush crickets, Cyphoderris strepitans, consume the ends of the male's hind wings and ingest his haemolymph. Previous research has shown that this behaviour impairs the ability of males to secure additional matings. One hypot...
متن کاملConfidence of Paternity and Male Parental Care
-We present a theoretical framework in order to understand how the relationship between male parental care and paternity is dependent on the relationship between male parental care and offspring recruitment. When there is an S-shaped relationship between offspring recruitment and the parental care of a single male, we predict a threshold relationship between male parental care and paternity. Tr...
