Beetle mating rituals key to Banksia populations
Beetle mating rituals key to Banksia populations Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor The nocturnal mating rituals of hairy scarab beetles are helping pollinate one of Perth's most common native trees, in a discovery that highlights the unusual adaptations of Australian plants and the unexpected pollination strategies still to be discovered. A four-year study led by La Trobe University discovered that the candlestick banksia is a rendezvous site for beetles to mate and feed...
Beluga whales keep switching mates and it may be saving their species
Beluga whales keep switching mates and it may be saving their species Beluga whales may be beating the odds against inbreeding by constantly changing partners over their decades-long lives. Date: - June 4, 2026 - Source: - Frontiers - Summary: - Hidden beneath Arctic waters, beluga whales have long kept their family lives a mystery. By analyzing DNA from more than 600 belugas in Alaska’s Bristol Bay over 13 years, researchers uncovered a surprisingly flexible mating system: both males and...
Enemies, more than sex, shape butterfly post-mating odor evolution
Not all odors influencing mating behavior evolve as sex pheromones. Female butterflies' post-mating odors have been considered species-specific anti-aphrodisiac pheromones shaped by sexual selection but may also serve broader ecological roles shaped by natural selection. Males transfer odors to females that repel rivals, yet the widespread use of these compounds across phyla makes them targets for eavesdropping, such as by phoretic egg parasitoids.

The perks of polyandry: Mating with multiple males leads to home improvement for African tree frogs
The question of why females mate with multiple males has long puzzled evolutionary biologists. A new study of African foam-nest tree frogs, led by University of Wollongong (UOW) researchers, reveals polyandry could be the key to reproductive success and a safer home for offspring. The findings shed light on how amphibians have evolved to protect their young in challenging environments, presenting a new hypothesis for the evolution of polyandry that ties mating behavior to the quality of nest...
Population Resilience Under Environmental Deterioration in Socially Monogamous Systems with Mutual Mate Choice
Rapid environmental change and biodiversity loss make it increasingly important to identify factors influencing population extinction risk. Previous studies examining how mating systems can affect persistence of populations under environmental stress generally report higher extinction risks in monogamous than polygynous systems but have largely ignored extra-pair copulations (EPC) and paternity (EPP), despite the prevalence of genetic polyandry in socially monogamous species. Here, using an...
