Reactive oxygen species as universal constraints in life-history evolution (2009, background): “There is accumulating experimental evidence that females benefit from mating with multiple males via an increase in the viability of embryos they produce (Simmons 2005).”
Female fitness consequences of male harassment and copulation in seed beetles, Callosobruchus maculatus (2009, background): “While male-imposed costs of harassment indicate that the optimum female mating rate is generally lower than that for males, females are still widely observed to mate more than the requisite once (Ridley 1988; Arnqvist & Nilsson 2000; Jennions & Petrie 2000; Tregenza & Wedell 2000; Simmons 2005).”
Mate Choice and Genetic Quality: A Review of the Heterozygosity Theory (2007, background): “However, studies on multiple mating in insects (Simmons, 2005) and on extra‐pair paternity in birds (see below) also suggest that females might benefit by increasing the heterozygosity of their offspring.”
Sexual selection and mate choice. (2006, background): “ibilities, or by intrinsic sire effects on offspring viability [ 47 ].”
Multiple mating by females is a natural outcome of a null model of mate encounters (2013, background): “, 2012), and various types of indirect effects (e.g., Jennions & Petrie, 2000; Bernasconi & Keller, 2001; Ivy & Sakaluk, 2005; Simmons, 2005; Fisher et al., 2006; Evans & Simmons, 2008; Fossøy et al., 2008; Rodrı́guez-Muñoz et al., 2008; Pryke et al., 2010).”
Evolution of female choosiness and mating frequency: effects of mating cost, density and sex ratio (2012, unknown): “However, it may also provide direct and/or indirect benefits (Newcomer et al. 1999; Jennions & Petrie 2000; Simmons 2005).”
