DOI: 10.1007/s00265-019-2758-9
Abstract: Within the optimal foraging theory framework, parasitoids constitute ideal models to elucidate combined physiological and environmental determinism of foraging behavior between current and future fitness gains. Parasitoid females need hosts to lay eggs for their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/araf080
Abstract: Abstract To maximize their reproductive fitness, females of many polyandrous species should display mating status-dependent choice, where they mate relatively indiscriminately once to ensure reproductive output, and then become choosy and mate preferentially with higher-quality… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cz/zoz052
Abstract: Abstract Understanding how animals select their mates requires knowing the factors that shape mate preferences. Recent theoretical and empirical considerations suggest that female mating status can influence the degree to which a female engages in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.05.01.490225
Abstract: Post-mating immunosuppression has been widely accepted as a female trait in Drosophila melanogaster. Our results challenge this notion by presenting a mating-immunity trade-off in males as well as in females. When inoculated with the fungal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/phen.12433
Abstract: Investigations of age‐based food conversion and utilization efficiencies in phytophagous insects are very few. Studies examining the effects of age, sex and mating status on biochemical assimilation of macronutrients by phytophagous insects are scarce as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1163/15707563-bja10015
Abstract: The mating status of organisms plays a crucial role in deciphering mating decision and reproductive success of any organisms. Odour or pheromones are known to be perceived by animals through olfaction to locate mates at… read more here.

DOI: 10.18474/jes17-10.1
Abstract: Abstract The Asiatic rice borer, Chilo suppressalis (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is an important rice pest in East and Southeast Asia regions. We developed a simple technique for determining the mating status of C. suppressalis males.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2024.1532868
Abstract: Circadian rhythms play a crucial role in regulating behavior, physiology, and health. Sexual dimorphism, a widespread phenomenon across species, influences circadian behaviors. Additionally, post-mating physiological changes in females are known to modulate various behaviors, yet… read more here.
