Mate harm resistance

downin flies1

1 study

  1. Selection for faster development and early reproduction decreases mate harm resistance in flies.

    “higher mortality in the experimentally evolved females was not due to the cost of egg production and hence can only be attributed to reduced MHR.”

Mortality

1 study

  1. Selection for faster development and early reproduction increases mortality in flies.

    “evolved females were more susceptible to mate harm-suffering from significantly higher mortality under continuous exposure to control males within the 20-day assay period.”
