Female fitness consequences of male harassment and copulation in seed beetles, Callosobruchus maculatus (2009, background): “In contrast, during laboratory experiments, females are often confined with a male in a small space to encourage mating (Torres-Vila et al. 2004; Sakurai & Kasuya 2008); however, this may eliminate the natural avoidance response that females may use to reduce harassment costs.”
Male mating history and female fecundity in the Lepidoptera: do male virgins make better partners? (2005, methodology): “The case is less clear for lepidopterans though (Torres-Vila et al. 2004), especially polyandrous species where males invest relatively more nutrients into spermatophore production (Karlsson 1996).”
