The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Insect Seminal Fluid Proteins: Identification and Function (2011, background): “There is growing evidence that SFPs have important effects on female postmating behavior in lady beetles (117, 118), seed beetles (101, 144, 172), and ground beetles (152).”
Costly sexual harassment in a beetle (2009, background): “…multiple copulations are shown to increase fecundity ( Ofuya, 1995; Savalli & Fox, 1999 ) and female longevity ( Fox, 1993; Messina & Slade, 1999; Rönn et al. , 2006 ), although Crudgington & Siva-Jothy (2000) find that multiple mating reduces female longevity, whereas Eady et al. (2007) find no…”
Female fitness consequences of male harassment and copulation in seed beetles, Callosobruchus maculatus (2009, background): “…Callosobruchus maculatus have shown that females suffer fitness costs when they are confined continuously with males (Fox 1993; Crudgington 2001; Rönn et al. 2006; Edvardsson 2007); however, none of these studies examined the direct costs of copulation (e.g. genital wounding; Crudgington &…”
Sexual harassment in live-bearing fishes (Poeciliidae): comparing courting and noncourting species (2007, background): “Costs of mating have been shown to reduce female lifetime reproductive success throughout the animal kingdom (Civetta and Clark 2000; Rice 2000; Maklakov and Lubin 2004; Campbell 2005; Maklakov et al. 2005; Rönn et al. 2006).”
