Guarding Males Protect Females from Predation in a Wild Insect
Males frequently remain in close proximity to their mate immediately postcopulation. This behavior has generally been interpreted as a guarding tactic designed to reduce the likelihood that a rival male can rapidly displace the ejaculate of the guarding male [1, 2].

متن کاملMales Feeding Females during Incubation. I. Required by Microclimate or Constrained by Nest Predation?

For species in which females are the sole incubator, males can potentially affect this trade-off and increase nest attentiven...
