A Comparative Analysis of the Morphology and Evolution of Permanent Sperm Depletion in Spiders
Once thought to be energetically cheap and easy to produce, empirical work has shown that sperm is a costly and limited resource for males. In some spider species, there is behavioral evidence that sperm are permanently depleted after a single mating. This extreme degree of mating investment appears...
