Scientific Reports, 2017 Sexual conflict over mating frequency has driven the evolution of morphological and behavioural traits across taxa. Interactions may be termed ‘coercive’ and assumed to arise from conflict when male mating behaviours cause physical injury to females and ...

Does Male Care, Provided to Immature Individuals, Influence Immature Fitness in Rhesus Macaques? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Among many mammals, maternal care strongly impacts infant survival; however, less is known about whether adult males also affect infant fitness. Paternal care is expected when providing care enhances offspring survival and reproduction, which likewise ...

The relevance of age and nutritional status on the mating competitiveness of medfly males (Diptera: Teprhitidae) [PDF]
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2013 Results of previous investigations trying to ascertain which physiological factors are more important to the mating success of medfly males are controversial.

Mating success and potential male-worker conflict in a male-dimorphic ant [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Males of many species adjust their reproductive tactics with regard to their condition and status. For example, large males may develop weapons and fight for access to females, whereas small or undernourished males do not express costly ...

Sex-specific chemical cues from immatures facilitate the evolution of mate guarding inHeliconiusbutterflies [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009 Competition for mates has substantial effects on sensory systems and often leads to the evolution of extraordinary mating behaviours in nature. The ability of males to find sexually immature females and associate with them until mating is a remarkable example.

Surface Membrane Hydrophobicity of Paramecium primaurelia Mating Types: Analysis under Immaturity and Maturity Conditions [PDF]
Zoological Science, 1995 Abstract Paramecium primaurelia stock 90 clones were examined in their mating immaturity and maturity stages, under starving conditions triggering mating reactivity in mature cells. Living samples were labelled by cycloheptaamilosedansyl chloride (CDC) complex, which has been proved to be an effective fluorescent marker of outer membrane proteins in ...

First documentation of putative mating behavior in blue sharks (Prionace glauca) reveals a potential reproductive area in the Northeast Atlantic [PDF]
Web EcologyReproductive behavior in sharks remains poorly understood, with direct observations of mating reported in only a few species. The blue shark (Prionace glauca) is a widely distributed, placental viviparous species, yet direct evidence of mating behavior ...
