Density-dependent male mating harassment, female resistance, and male mimicry.
Genetic variation in female resistance and tolerance to male mating harassment can affect the outcome of sexually antagonistic mating interactions. We investigated female mating rates and male mating harassment in natural populations of a damselfly (Ischnura elegans). This damselfly species has a heritable sex-limited polymorphism in females, where one of the morphs is a male mimic (androchrome...
متن کاملFemale Sexual Polymorphism and Fecundity Consequences of Male Mating Harassment in the Wild
Genetic and phenotypic variation in female response towards male mating attempts has been found in several laboratory studies, demonstrating sexually antagonistic co-evolution driven by mating costs on female fitness. Theoretical models suggest that the type and degree of genetic variation in female resistance could affect the evolutionary outcome of sexually antagonistic mating interactions, r...
متن کاملSexual harassment and health among male and female police officers.
The aims of this study were to investigate whether sexual harassment is related to mental and physical health of both men and women, and to explore the possible moderating effects of gender on the relation between sexual harassment and health. In addition, we investigated whether women were more often bothered by sexual harassment than men, and whether victims who report being bothered by the h...
متن کاملMale sexual harassment alters female social behaviour towards other females.
Male harassment of females to gain mating opportunities is a consequence of an evolutionary conflict of interest between the sexes over reproduction and is common among sexually reproducing species. Male Trinidadian guppies Poecilia reticulata spend a large proportion of their time harassing females for copulations and their presence in female social groups has been shown to disrupt female-fema...
متن کاملThe Interaction of Male and Female in Success of Mating
Introduction: To most in this audience, having a veterinary practice dealing with problems associated with reproduction is undoubtedly fun, profitable and rewarding. However, reproductive problems can also be most frustrating, often testing the limits of our knowledge and our patience. From personal experience, I can also say the same for research in reproductive physiology, particularly where ...
