Asymmetric and Spiraled Genitalia Coevolve with Unique Lateralized Mating Behavior.

Scientific reports - 24 Feb 2020

Abstract excerpt

Asymmetric genitalia and lateralized mating behaviors occur in several taxa, yet whether asymmetric morphology in one sex correlates or coevolves with lateralized mating behavior in the other sex remains largely unexplored. While lateralized mating behaviors are taxonomically widespread, among mammals they are only known in the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). Males attempt copulation by approaching a female...
