| surviving in sympatry: paragenital divergence and sexual mimicry between a pair of traumatically inseminating plant bugs. | reproductive interactions between species can carry significant costs (e.g., wasted time, energy, and gametes). in traumatically inseminating insects, heterospecific mating costs may be intensified, with indiscriminate mating and damaging genitalia leading to damage or death. when closely related traumatically inseminating species are sympatric, we predict selection should favor the rapid evolution of reproductive isolation. here we report on a cryptic species of traumatically inseminating plant ... | 2013 | 24021406 |
