Females receive a life-span benefit from male ejaculates in a field cricketW E Wagner
School of Biological Sciences, University of Nebraska, Lincoln 68588 0118, USA
Evolution 55:994-1001. 2001..Mating benefits rather than mating costs may be common in many animals, particularly in species where female mate choice has a larger effect on male reproductive success than does the outcome of sperm competition...- Female life span and fertility are increased by the ejaculates of preferred malesWilliam E Wagner
School of Biological Sciences, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska 68588 0118, USA
Evolution 57:2054-66. 2003..Finally, there was a negative phenotypic correlation between male chirp rate and chirp duration, suggesting that females may have to trade off the life span and reproduction benefits when selecting a mate... - The relative importance of different direct benefits in the mate choices of a field cricketWilliam E Wagner
School of Biological Sciences, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska 68588 0118, USA
Evolution 61:617-22. 2007..These results suggest that females may give priority to the reproductive benefits provided by males that produce higher chirp rates... - False promises: females spurn cheating males in a field cricketWilliam E Wagner
School of Biological Sciences, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68588 0118, USA
Biol Lett 3:379-81. 2007..This type of conditional female re-mating may be a widespread mechanism that penalizes males that cheat on direct benefits... - Costly signals in a field cricket can indicate high- or low-quality direct benefits depending upon the environmentAmanda E Tolle
School of Biological Sciences, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska 68588 0118, USA
Evolution 65:283-94. 2011..As a result, female choice for direct benefits may be difficult, particularly in heterogeneous environments, unless females can assess the environmental histories of males... - Female field crickets incur increased parasitism risk when near preferred songCassandra M Martin
School of Biological Sciences, University of Nebraska Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA
PLoS ONE 5:e9592. 2010..Overall, our results suggest that female association costs have the potential to shape the evolution of female mating preferences...
