RE: Selective Appetites: A Sociobiological Tale

in The Ink Well2 years ago

I have become fascinated with genetically modified spiders.

Heh. Just don't get too close to them. :D

The ability of the female to choose the sperm to make beautiful babies shows the superiority of the females.

This is the case in many animals. The female chooses the time and place. The males brings the wine 😄

I do pity the male spiders that break off their sexual organs, what happens if the female decides their sperm was not unique and choose another sperm, their sacrifices are over.

This actually happens in nature. You can read about it in this article.

A male with broken pedipalps is effectively neutered—they never grow back—so why would males perform such acts of self-mutilation if they do not completely prevent copulation by other males? To find out the answer to this question, Uhl and her student Stefan Nessler and colleague Jutta Schneider have been studying mating plug effectiveness in the wasp spider.

Thank you so much @lucieagboola!
