Female genital mutilation and monandry in an orb-web spider [PDF]

open access: yesBiology Letters, 2016
Monandry, in which a female has only one mating partner during the reproductive period, is established when a female spontaneously refrains from re-mating, or when a partner male interferes with the attempts of a female to mate again. In the latter case, however, females often have countermeasures against males, which may explain why ...
