The Cloacal Kiss & other Curiosities: Traumatic Insemination in aptly named 'Harpactea sadistica' spider
http://cloacalkiss.blogspot.com/2009/07/traumatic-insemination-in-aptly-named.html
The Cloacal Kiss and other Curiosities. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Traumatic Insemination in aptly named 'Harpactea sadistica' spider. A violent but evolutionarily effective mating strategy has been spotted in spiders from Israel. Males of the aptly-named. The sperm are then held in a receptacle between the ovipore and ovary known as a spermatheca until an egg is released. However, the spermatheca is a "last in, first out" structure, so that if any further males inseminate a female, the last mate's sper...

The Cloacal Kiss & other Curiosities: August 2009
http://cloacalkiss.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
The Cloacal Kiss and other Curiosities. Sunday, August 23, 2009. The adaptive benefits of producing non-functional sperm. Scientists were scratching their heads while looking for the evolutionary explanation as to why the males of a butterfly species possessed predominantly non-fertile sperm. What the heck is going on? This finding is consistent with previous findings related to male-female sexual conflict: selection on female reproductive traits directly affects male traits. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Cloacal Kiss and other Curiosities. Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Bottlenose dolphin shows off her butchering skills. Considering they can't wield a knife or cleaver, dolphins make impressive butchers. Researchers in Australia recently observed a bottlenose performing a precise series of manoeuvres to kill, gut and bone a cuttlefish. The six-step procedure gets rid of the invertebrate's unappetising ink and hard-to-swallow cuttlebone. Let's walk through that again:. The gene was found in the cichlid f...

The Cloacal Kiss and other Curiosities. Sunday, November 29, 2009. The fact human females would want sex at all outside of their monthly 6-day window of receptivity is an evolutionary problem. What practical purpose does it serve? Don't females have better things to do? Well, of course we do - but even so, those females who prescribe to a "dual sexuality" ( conceptive. Bad boy who is well endowed (genetically). I suppose I should pause here to explain an important concept in evolutionary biology that's r...
