... 2003). A special form of intra-cohort cannibalism is sexual cannibalism where often the female devours the male (before, during, or after copulation) that in many cases is smaller than its female counterpart (Polis 1981; Elgar 1992). The benefits of this type of cannibalism are especially pronounced ...

Sexual cannibalism



Sexual cannibalism is when a female cannibalizes her mate prior to, during, or after copulation. It is a phenomenon characterized primarily by members of arachnid orders as well as several insect orders. The adaptive foraging hypothesis, aggressive spillover hypothesis and mistaken identity hypothesis are several hypotheses that have been proposed to explain how sexual cannibalism evolved. This behavior is believed to have evolved as a manifestation of sexual conflict, occurring when the reproductive interests of males and females differ. In many species that exhibit sexual cannibalism, the female consumes the male upon detection. Females of cannibalistic species are generally hostile and unwilling to mate; thus many males of these species have developed adaptive behaviors to counteract female aggression.
