  1. Adaptation to female control over mating rate shortens lifespan in flies.

    “while males had shorter longevity, perhaps due to increased investment in post-copulatory sexual selection.”

    Female-limited X chromosome evolution reveals that lifespan is mainly modulated by interlocus rather than intralocus sexual conflict

  2. Adaptation to female control over mating rate extends lifespan in flies.

    “females that had adapted to high levels of female control over mating had a longer lifespan when kept in mixed-sex groups”
