• Female fitness consequences of male harassment and copulation in seed beetles, Callosobruchus maculatus (2009, background): “maculatus have shown fecundity and/or life span benefits of multiple mating (Fox 1993; Eady et al. 2000; Arnqvist et al. 2005; Edvardsson 2007; but see Fricke & Maklakov 2007).”
• Female Callosobruchus maculatus mate when they are thirsty: resource-rich ejaculates as mating effort in a beetle (2007, background): “The costs and benefits of mating seem to cause a complex relation between mating rate and female fitness (e.g. Arnqvist et al. 2004 ).”
• The costs of mating and egg production in Callosobruchus seed beetles (2006, background): “maculatus, one standard stock originating from Brazil, which has often been used in recent studies of mating interactions (Crudgington & Siva-Jothy 2000; Arnqvist et al. 2005) and another deriving from three adjacent populations in Nigeria.”
• Why do male Callosobruchus maculatus harm their mates (2005, background): “Arnqvist et al. (2005) found no effects of mating rate on longevity but did find the analogous effect that females with an intermediate mating rate (average number of copulations: 1.”
• Do males matter? The role of males in population dynamics (2007, background): “The extent of male harassment will depend on the mating rate (Arnqvist et al. 2005), 19 which in turn may be profoundly influenced by both the sex ratio (Le Galliard et al.”
• Costly sexual harassment in a beetle (2009, unknown): “In these two studies, a cost of re-mating cannot be ruled out, but other studies with this species ( Fox, 1993; Arnqvist et al. , 2005 ) suggest that the cost observed exceeds the cost of mating and is likely due to male harassment.”
