Value of male remating and functional sterility in redback spiders (2002, background): “First, because the genitalia of spiders are often complex (Eberhard 1985; Foelix 1996), slight morphological irregularities or damage in one copulatory organ or insemination opening might make insemination on that side difficult (e.”
Phylogeny of extant nephilid orb‐weaving spiders (Araneae, Nephilidae): testing morphological and ethological homologies (2008, background): “Male genitalia apparently evolve rapidly and divergently (Eberhard, 1985).”
Group courtship, mating behaviour and siphon sac function in the whitetip reef shark, Triaenodon obesus (2004, background): “While Leigh-Sharpe, and more recently Gilbert & Heath (1972), proposed that this sea water store served to propel sperm through the claspers, Eberhard (1985) suggested that the siphons might serve to flush the female reproductive tract of sperm from previous males before the copulating male injects…”
The costs of mating and egg production in Callosobruchus seed beetles (2006, background): “In general, the morphological structures of male genitalia evolve very rapidly among insects (Eberhard 1985; Arnqvist 1998; Hosken & Stockley 2004), including bruchid beetles (Kingsolver 1970).”
A Review of Elasmobranch Reproductive Behavior with a Case Study on the Nurse Shark, Ginglymostoma Cirratum (2001, background): “, but to assist sperm competition and wash any rival sperm from the female’s vagina before copulation (Eberhard 1985).”
Subjective visual evaluation vs. traditional and geometric morphometrics in species delimitation: a comparison of moth genitalia (2007, background): “For example, insect genital structures tend to evolve exceptionally rapidly and divergently (Eberhard, 1985; Shapiro & Porter, 1989) and consequently have an important role in the taxonomy of many groups, but it is usually the shape rather than the size of genitalia that tends to change rapidly…”
Polyandry and fecundity in the Lepidoptera: can methodological and conceptual approaches bias outcomes? (2004, background): “For example, male cohabitation, high population density and malebiased sex ratios may unnaturally increase female remating propensity in the laboratory, biasing the division of species into the categories polyandrous and monandrous (Eberhard 1985; several studies in Table 1).”
Geometric morphometrics in entomology: Basics and applications (2018, background): “Male genitalia have been well studied as important organs providing diagnoses at the species level in many insects, whereas female genitalia, in general, are harder to study because they are often soft and involuted (Eberhard 1985).”
