Is reduced female survival after mating a by-product of male-male competition in the dung fly Sepsis cynipsea?

BMC evolutionary biology - 17 Oct 2007

Teuschl Y, Hosken D J, Blanckenhorn W U

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In a number of species males damage females during copulation, but the reasons for this remain unclear. It may be that males are trying to manipulate female mating behaviour or their life histories. Alternatively, damage may be a side-effect of male-male competition. In the black scavenger or dung fly Sepsis cynipsea (Diptera: Sepsidae) mating reduces female survival, apparently because males wound...
