Evolution of nuptial gifts and its coevolutionary dynamics with male-like persistence traits of females for multiple mating.

BMC ecology and evolution - 5 Sept 2021

Kamimura Yoshitaka, Yoshizawa Kazunori, Lienhard Charles, Ferreira Rodrigo L, Abe Jun

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Many male animals donate nutritive materials during courtship or mating to their female mates. Donation of large-sized gifts, though costly to prepare, can result in increased sperm transfer during mating and delayed remating of the females, resulting in higher paternity. Nuptial gifting sometimes causes severe female-female competition for obtaining gifts (i.e., sex-role reversal in mate competition)...
