Female fitness consequences of male harassment and copulation in seed beetles, Callosobruchus maculatus (2009, background): “Some studies have found that polyandrous female C. maculatus live longer (Fox 1993; Savalli & Fox 1999; but see Crudgington & Siva-Jothy 2000) and have increased fecundity (Fox 1993; Savalli & Fox 1999; Eady et al. 2000; Ursprung et al. 2009; M. den Hollander, unpublished data).”
Sexual selection, sexual conflict and the evolution of ageing and life span (2008, background): “…insect species suffer from toxic male ejaculates (Das et al. 1980; Chapman et al. 1995), physical injuries incurred from spiky male genitalia (Crudgington & Siva-Jothy 2000, Rönn, Katvala & Arnqvist 2007), or other forms of ‘traumatic insemination’ (Stutt & Siva-Jothy 2001; Tatarnic, Cassis…”
Why do sperm-depleted parasitoid males continue to mate? (2006, background): “, 2001), risk of predation (Thornhill and Alcock, 1983), risk of injury (Crudgington and Siva-Jothy, 2000; Lloyd and Park, 1962), and transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (Knell and Webberley, 2004; Sherman et al.”
Mating rate and fitness in female bean weevils (2005, background): “Crudgington and Siva-Jothy (2000) showed that females are injured internally by the spiny genitalia of males during copulation, and that the degree of injury suffered by females increases in an additive fashion over successive matings.”
Why do male Callosobruchus maculatus harm their mates (2005, background): “Males of both these species have spines on their intromittent organs that harm the female reproductive tract during mating and leave scars (Blanckenhorn et al., 2002; Crudgington and Siva-Jothy, 2000).”
The evolution of mate choice and mating biases (2003, background): “…seminal products in Drosophila that shorten female lifespan (Chapman et al. 1995; Civetta & Clark 2000 ), physical genital damage in bean weevils (Crudgington & Siva-Jothy 2000) energetic and predation costs of mating and sexual harassment in dung flies (Mü hlhäuser & Blankenhorn 2002) and…”
Sexual selection and genital evolution (2014, background): “For example, the intromittent genitalia of sepsid flies and seed beetles can rupture the internal reproductive tract of the female, leading to a reduction in female lifespan (Crudgington & Siva-Jothy 2000; Blanckenhorn et al. 2002).”
The effects of copulation duration in the bruchid beetle Callosobruchus maculatus (2006, background): “These spines unfurl during mating, puncture the female reproductive tract, and leave wounds (Crudgington and Siva-Jothy, 2000).”
Sexual conflict and life histories (2006, background): “In: Sperm Competition and Sexual Selection (Ed. by T. R. Birkhead & A. P. Møller), pp. 219–254.”
The costs of copulating in the dung fly Sepsis cynipsea (2002, background): “cynipsea and perhaps many other species (Blanckenhorn et al., 2000; Crudgington and Siva-Jothy, 2000; Rowe et al., 1994; Ward et al., 1992).”
The costs of mating and egg production in Callosobruchus seed beetles (2006, background): “In C. maculatus, it is known that females suffer injuries from mating, but it is not clear whether this translates into a net cost of mating (Crudgington & Siva-Jothy 2000).”
Potential sexual transmission of environmental microbes in a traumatically inseminating insect (2005, background): “…the mode of microbial transfer in this study is related to sexual wounding, a process that has been documented in other insect species (Carayon, 1952; Crudgington & Siva-Jothy, 2000; Blanckenhorn et al., 2002) and therefore potentially provides invasion opportunities for opportunistic pathogens.”
Adaptation versus pleiotropy: why do males harm their mates? (2003, background): “Second, males of two of the species included here exhibit precisely the kinds of adaptations that the models aim to explain the evolution of: the spiny genitalia of Callosobruchus (Crudgington and Siva-Jothy, 2000) and the toxic ejaculates of Drosophila (Chapman et al., 1995).”
