The consequences of polyandry for population viability, extinction risk and conservation
Polyandry, by elevating sexual conflict and selecting for reduced male care relative to
monandry, may exacerbate the cost of sex and thereby seriously impact population fitness …

Sexual conflict and sperm competition
Traits that increase a male's fertilization success during sperm competition can be harmful to
females and therefore represent a source of sexual conflict. In this review, we consider the …

X-ray micro-CT scanning reveals temporal separation of male harm and female kicking during traumatic mating in seed beetles
In the seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus, the male intromittent organ is covered in
sharp spines that pierce the female copulatory tract wall during mating. Although the fitness …
