Abstract: In promiscuous mating systems, both males and females mate with several partners. While the benefits of multiple mating are well recognized for males, there are several non-mutually exclusive hypotheses to explain multiple mating for females.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cz/zoaa078
Abstract: Abstract Wolbachia are the most widespread endosymbiotic bacteria in animals. In many arthropod host species, they manipulate reproduction via several mechanisms that favor their maternal transmission to offspring. Among them, cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) promotes the… read more here.
