• The Evolution of Polyandry: Sperm Competition, Sperm Selection, and Offspring Viability (2005, background): “Likewise, the number of offspring produced by polyandrous female flour beetles, Tenebrio molitor, was greater than for monandrous females (Worden & Parker 2002).”
• Chemosensory cues allow male Tenebrio molitor beetles to assess the reproductive status of potential mates (2004, background): “Given that both virgin and previously mated T. molitor females apparently benefit from mating with multiple males (Drnevich et al. 2001; Worden & Parker 2001 ), it is not obvious that signalling their reproductive status is in the females’ best interests (Svensson 1996).”
