• Fitness consequences of sexual cannibalism in female Argiope bruennichi (2003, background): “There were neither indications of increased female fecundity through male consumption, nor did we detect an influence on hatching success as suggested by Johnson (2001).”
• Value of male remating and functional sterility in redback spiders (2002, background): “Parker 1998), and tests for sperm limitation have produced contradictory results even within one genus (e.g. Dolmedes: Arnqvist & Henriksson 1997; Johnson 2001).”
• Female praying mantids use sexual cannibalism as a foraging strategy to increase fecundity (2008, background): “Perhaps, eggs contained in the first egg case are manufactured during the weeks prior to copulation, and those derived from the male soma are laid in subsequent egg cases (see Johnson 2001, e.g., in fishing spiders).”
• Evolutionary Significance of Sexual Cannibalism (2004, background): “cannibalism Hatching success Increase Johnson (2001)”
• Sexual cannibalism and mate choice decisions in wolf spiders: influence of male size and secondary sexual characters (2005, background): “1997), a case of mistaken identity, or ‘mate choice with extreme prejudice’ (Elgar 1992; Johnson 2001).”
• Precopulatory sexual cannibalism in fishing spiders (Dolomedes triton): a role for behavioral syndromes (2005, background): “Indeed, such negative findings are consistent with previous studies that have attempted to test the adaptive foraging hypothesis in spiders (Andrade 1996; Spence et al. 1996; Arnqvist and Henriksson 1997; Fahey and Elgar 1997; Elgar et al. 2000; Johnson 2001; but see Elgar and Nash 1988).”
