A cry for help: female distress calling during copulation is context dependent

Abstract: Owing to selection for increased mating propensity, males often expose females to sexual harassment. Consequently, females may evolve counterstrategies to retain control of mating.

“…This would seem to increase the potential for detection by other males that may then approach the female and increase her prospects for choice. Similarly, female copulation calls-produced by females during copulation-seem to function to attract other males that may supplant the one currently copulating with the female (e.g., Løvlie et al 2014). …”

“…Dominant males often enjoy higher paternity than subdominant males (reviewed by [ 6 , 47 ]), most likely because they, to some extent successfully, aim to monopolise access to females, re-mate more often with females, and are preferred by females. This female preference for dominant males is shown both directly (reviewed by [ 6 , 47 ]), and indirectly [ 47 , 59 , 60 ]. An example of the latter is that females distress call during copulation by low-ranking (i.e., non-preferred males) [ 60 ].…”

“…At first glance, this behavior may seem like a simple expression of pain without a specific adaptive function, but empirical studies across animal taxa have indicated that this behavior may be an adaptive trait that has undergone evolutionary change through natural selection (e.g., Staton 1978;Perrone 1980;Högstedt 1983;GreigSmith 1984;Hödl and Gollmann 1986;Laiolo et al 2004Laiolo et al , 2007Russ et al 2004;Lingle et al 2007a;Blumstein et al 2008;Manno 2012;Hoare and Labra 2013;Løvlie et al 2014;Sepp et al 2014). Several hypotheses that are not mutually exclusive have been proposed to explain the adaptive function of screaming across animal taxa.…”
