The evolution of genital complexity and mating rates in sexually size dimorphic spiders.

BMC evolutionary biology - 9 Nov 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genital diversity may arise through sexual conflict over polyandry, where male genital features function to manipulate female mating frequency against her interest. Correlated genital evolution across animal groups is consistent with this view, but a link between genital complexity and mating rates remains to be established. In sexually size dimorphic spiders, golden orbweaving spiders (Nephilidae)...
