Aggressive and cannibalistic female spiders can impose strong selection on male mating
and fertilization strategies. Furthermore, the distinctive reproductive morphology of spiders is …

A remarkable diversity of life history strategies has evolved among species for achieving
reproductive success, including adaptive growth, protandry, iteroparity, and extra molting …

Mating systems, with varying female mating rates occurring with the same partner
(monandry) or with multiple mates (polyandry), can have far reaching consequences for …

Mating strategy and social behavior influence gene flow and hence affect levels of genetic
differentiation and potentially speciation. Previous genetic analyses of closely related …

Inbreeding avoidance via polyandry is a common response to combat inbreeding
depression across multiple taxa, but has never been investigated in the Halonoproctidae …

Male competition for females can often take the form of direct physical contests. The
outcome of a given contest or the decision to persist is determined by the resource holding …

ABSTRACT A field technique to identify sex is critical for facilitating conservation of species
where declines are potentially unequal between the sexes. Although morphometrics are …

Mating systems, with varying female mating rates occurring with the same partner
(monogamy) or with multiple mates (polyandry), can have far reaching consequences for …

Cinsel kanibalizm bir eşeyin diğerini besin olarak tüketme davranışıdır ve bu olay
popülasyon içerisinde çarpık eşey oranlarına neden olabilmektedir. Peygamberdevelerinde …

Genetic relatedness is an important factor for the evolution of cooperation and can be
secured by low mating rates (monogamy). Relatedness is further increased when females …
