用户:林伟爵/Sexual cannibalism

The prevalence of sexual cannibalism gives several species of Latrodectus the common name "black widow spider".

“性食”意指雌性在交配 (mating) 的前、中、或后杀死并取食雄性的行为[1]，这种现象可见于某些无脊椎动物，例如：蛛形纲、螳螂目[2]。目前有四大类不完全互斥的假说尝试解释性食的演化，分别为：掠食策略假说[3]、侵略性激增假说[4]、配偶选择假说[5]、错误辨识假说[6]。而性食的发生，一般被认为在两性的生殖利益上有所冲突[7]。在这些性食的类群当中，雌性通常会在侦测到雄性后不久便发动攻击，有些雄性则发展出不少行为得以降低被雌性攻击的机率[8][9]，例如：潜行接近、静止等。


Prevalence

编辑

性食易见于蛛形纲[10]、端足类[10]、螳螂目[11]，也可见于腹足纲、桡足类[12]、步行虫科及蠓科[11]。在有雌雄二型性的类群较为常见，极端的雌雄二型性也驱动了性食在蜘蛛中的演化[13]。


Male sexual cannibalism

编辑

虽然雌性通常是性食中发动攻击的一方，但也有一些逆性食的案例存在，例如：Micaria sociabilis[14][15] 、 Allocosa brasiliensis（英语：Allocosa brasiliensis）[16][17]和 福山鱼怪 (Ichthyoxenus fushanensis)[18]。在实验室的环境下，M. sociabilis的雄性倾向捕食年迈的雌性，其雌雄体型较为接近，且体型越大的雄性越倾向发动性食[15]。A. brasiliensis 的性食则发生在两个交配季节之间，雄性会在这段非交配期离开藏身处觅食，并且攻击在这段时期遇到的雌性[17]。福山鱼怪在交配季的初期的性食为一般的雌性取食雄性，而到交配季末期则相反，变成雄性取食雌性，且发动性食后，雄性的体积会快速变大并性转为雌性。这三种逆性食有个共通点，他们都发生于雌性生殖潜能低落的时期，这或许是一种适应性 (adaptive) 的捕食策略。

目前有四大类不完全互斥的假说尝试解释性食的演化，分别为：掠食策略假说[3]、侵略性激增假说[4]、配偶选择假说[5]、错误辨识假说[6]。

掠食策略假说

编辑

此假说的前提 (assumption) 为性食的发生是因为饥饿、且雌性有能力辨识雄性。此假说认为：

  1. 饥饿的雌性通常处于身体状况 (body condition) 低落，他们会借由捕食雄性来提高自身的身体状况而不是与雄性交配[19]。在螳螂目中，Pseudomantis albofimriata（英语：False garden mantis）雌性的性食可以提高自身的生产力 (fecundity) 和身体状况 (body condition)[20]。在蛛形纲中，亟需营养来提高卵发育的雌性Dolomedes triton（英语：Six-spotted fishing spider），会选择取食雄性，即便他们可能是潜在的配偶[21]。食物来源受限的雌性D. triton也比较倾向于发动性食，她们会在交配后取食雄性配偶[21]。发动性食的雌性Argiope keyserlingi可以获得较多的蛋白质、并产下品质更佳的卵[3]。
  2. 越大型的雄性，其作为食物的能量、营养价值较高，越容易遭性食[22][23]。在Agelenopsis pennsylvanica（英语：Agelenopsis pennsylvanica）和Lycosa tarantula（英语：Lycosa tarantula）的例子中，相较于取食小型的雄性、那些取食较大型雄性的雌蜘蛛，其生产力、卵囊大小、孵化率、以及后代的存活率都会获得显著的提升[24][25]，大型雄性作为食物所能提供的养分与能量远胜于小型雄性，也因此让雌蜘蛛能孕育更大、更高品质的卵囊[24][26]。
  3. 没有受精压力的雌性会倾向吃掉雄性以补充能量。已经交配过的雌性，其性食发生率大于处女雌性[22][27][28]。反之，则受精压力提高，性食率会下降，例如：当雄性Araneus diadematus的密度低时，雌蜘蛛的性食率也会降低[22][23]。

此假说有个常被讨论的问题，在某些雌雄二型性差异极大的种类中，对于雌性而言，一只蟋蟀可能比都小小的雄性更像是一顿大餐。然而，有研究发现雄性Hogna helluo（英语：Hogna）身上有著蟋蟀所缺乏的的多种蛋白质和脂质[26][29]，取食雄性的雌蜘蛛能获得比只吃蟋蟀的雌蜘蛛更多的蛋白质[26]。


Aggressive spillover

编辑

The aggressive spillover hypothesis suggests that the more aggressive a female is concerning prey, the more likely the female is to cannibalize a potential mate.[21] The decision of a female to cannibalize a male is not defined by the nutritional value or genetic advantage (courtship dance（英语：courtship dance）s, male aggressiveness, & large body size) of males but instead depends strictly on her aggressive state.[10][21] Aggression of the female is measured by latency (speed) of attack on prey. The faster the speed of attack and consumption of prey, the higher the aggressiveness level.[30] Females displaying aggressive characteristics tend to grow larger than other females and display continuous cannibalistic behavior. Such behavior may drive away potential mates, reducing chances of mating.[31] Aggressive behavior is less common in an environment that is female-biased, because there is more competition to mate with a male. In these female dominated environments, such aggressive behavior comes with the risk of scaring away potential mates.[25][32]

Males of the Pisaura mirabilis species feign death to avoid being cannibalized by a female prior to copulation.[12] When males feign death, their success in reproduction depends on the level of aggressiveness the female displays.[12][33] Research has shown that in the Nephilengys livida species, female aggressiveness had no effect on the likelihood of her cannibalizing a potential mate; male aggressiveness and male-male competition determined which male the female cannibalized. Males with aggressive characteristics were favored and had more chance of mating with a female.[29]

Mate choice

编辑

Females exercise mate choice, rejecting unwanted and unfit males by cannibalizing them.[34][35] Mate choice often correlates size with fitness level; smaller males tend to be less aggressive and display low level of fitness; smaller males are therefore eaten more often because of their undesirable traits.[34] Males perform elaborate courtship dance（英语：courtship dance）s to display fitness and genetic advantage.[36] Female orb-web spiders (Nephilengys livida) tend to cannibalize males displaying less aggressive behavior and mate with males displaying more aggressive behavior, showing a preference for this trait,[29] which, along with large body size that indicates a strong foraging ability, displays high male quality and genetic advantage.[29][37]

Indirect mate choice can be witnessed in fishing spiders, Dolomedes fimbriatus, where females do not discriminate against smaller body size, attacking males of all sizes. Females had lower success rates cannibalizing large males, which managed to escape where smaller males could not.[4] It was shown that males with desirable traits (large body size, high aggression, and long courtship dance（英语：courtship dance）s) had longer copulation duration than males with undesirable traits.[29][37] In A. keyserlingi and Nephila edulis females allow longer copulation duration and a second copulation for smaller males.[38] The gravity hypothesis suggests that some species of spiders may favor smaller body sizes because it enables them to climb up plants more efficiently and find a mate faster.[39] Also smaller males may be favored because they hatch and mature faster, giving them a direct advantage in finding and mating with a female.[40] In Latrodectus revivensis females tend to limit copulation duration for small males and deny them a second copulation, showing preference for larger body size.[37] Another form of mate choice is the genetic bet-hedging（英语：Bet-hedging (biology)） hypothesis in which a female consumes males to prevent them from exploiting her.[41] It is not beneficial for a female exploited by multiple males because it may result in prey theft, reduction in web, and reduced time of foraging.[42] Sexual cannibalism might have promoted the evolution of some behavioral and morphological traits exhibited by spiders today.[37]

Mistaken identity

编辑

The mistaken identity hypothesis suggests that sexual cannibalism occurs when females fail to identify males that try to court.[6] This hypothesis suggests that a cannibalistic female attacks and consumes the male without the knowledge of mate quality. In pre-copulatory sexual cannibalism, mistaken identity can be seen when a female does not allow the male to perform the courtship dance（英语：courtship dance） and engages in attack.[21] There is no conclusive evidence for this hypothesis because scientists struggle to distinguish between mistaken identity and the other hypotheses (aggressive spillover, adaptive foraging, and mate choice).[43]

Male adaptive behaviors

编辑

In some cases, sexual cannibalism may characterize an extreme form of male monogamy, in which the male sacrifices itself to the female. Males may gain reproductive success from being cannibalized by either providing nutrients to the female (indirectly to the offspring), or through enhancing the probability that their sperm is used to fertilize the female's eggs.[44] Although sexual cannibalism is fairly common in spiders, male self-sacrifice has only been reported in six genera of araneoid spiders（英语：Araneoidea）. However, much of the evidence for male complicity in such cannibalistic behavior may be anecdotal, and has not been replicated in experimental and behavioral studies.[45]

Male members of cannibalistic species have adapted different mating tactics as a mechanism for escaping the cannibalistic tendencies of their female counterparts. Current theory suggests antagonistic co-evolution has occurred, where adaptations seen in one sex produce adaptations in the other.[9] Adaptations consist of: courtship displays, opportunistic mating tactics, and mate binding.

Opportunistic mating

编辑

The risk of cannibalism becomes greatly reduced when opportunistic mating is practiced.[9] Opportunistic mating has been characterized in numerous orb-weaving spider species, such as Nephila fenestrata, where the male spider waits until the female is feeding or distracted, and then proceeds with copulation; this greatly reduces the chances of cannibalization. This distraction can be facilitated by the male's presentation of nuptial gifts, where they provide a distracting meal for the female in order to prolong copulation and increase paternity.[9]

Altered sexual approach

编辑

Multiple methods of sexual approaches have evolved in cannibalistic species as a result of sexual cannibalism.[46] The mechanism by which the male approaches the female is imperative for his survival. If the female is unable to detect his presence, the male is less likely to face cannibalization. This is evident in the mantid species, Tenodera aridifolia, where the male alters his approach utilizing the surrounding windy conditions. The male attempts to avoid detection by approaching the female when the wind impairs her ability to hear him.[47] In the praying mantid species, Pseudomantis albofimbrata, the males approach the female either from a "slow mounting from the rear" or a "slow approach from the front" position to remain undetected.[46] The male alters his approach through the utilization of the surrounding windy conditions, and thus the risk of facing cannibalization is reduced.[46]

Mate guarding

编辑

Sexual cannibalism has impaired the ability of the orb-weaving spider, N. fenestrata, to perform mate guarding. If a male successfully mates with a female, he then exhibits mate guarding, inhibiting the female from re-mating, thus ensuring his paternity and eliminating sperm competition.[48] Guarding can refer to the blockage of female genital openings to prevent further insertion of a competing male pedipalps, or physical guarding from potential mates. Guarding can decrease female re-mating by fifty percent.[9] Males who experience genital mutilation can sometimes exhibit the "gloves off" hypothesis which states that a male's body weight and his endurance are inversely proportional. Thus when a male's body weight decreases substantially, his endurance increases as a result, allowing him to guard his female mate with increased efficiency.[49]

Mate binding

编辑

Mate binding refers to a pre-copulatory courtship behavior where the male deposits silk onto the abdomen of the female while simultaneously massaging her in order to reduce her aggressive behavior. This action allows for initial and subsequent copulatory bouts.[8] While both chemical and tactile cues are important factors for reducing cannibalistic behaviors, the latter functions as a resource to calm the female, exhibited in the orb-weaver spider species, Nephila pilipes.[8] Additional hypotheses suggest that male silk contains pheromones which seduce the female into submission. However, silk deposits are not necessary for successful copulation.[8] The primary factor in successful subsequent copulation lies in the tactile communication between the male and female spider that results in female acceptance of the male.[50] The male mounts the posterior portion of the female's abdomen, while rubbing his spinnerets on her abdomen during his attempt at copulation.[8] Mate binding was not necessary for the initiation of copulation in the golden orb-weaving spider, except when the female was resistant to mating. Subsequent copulatory bouts are imperative for the male's ability to copulate due to prolonged sperm transfer, therefore increasing his probability of paternity.[8]

Courtship displays

编辑

Courtship displays in sexually cannibalistic spiders are imperative in order to ensure the female is less aggressive. Additional courtship displays include pre-copulatory dances such as those observed in the Australian redback spider, and vibrant male coloration morphologies which function as female attraction mechanisms, as seen in the peacock spider, Maratus volans.[50] Nuptial gift（英语：Nuptial gift） play a vital role in safe copulation for males in some species. Males present meals to the female to facilitate opportunistic mating while the female is distracted.[9] Subsequent improvements in male adaptive mating success includes web reduction, as seen in the Western black widow, Latrodectus hesperus.[51] Once mating occurs, the males destroy a large portion of the female's web to discourage the female from future mating, thus reducing polyandry, which has been observed in the Australian redback spider, Latrodectus hasselti.[52]

Male-induced cataleptic state

编辑

In some species of spiders, such as Agelenopsis aperta, the male induces a passive state in the female prior to copulation[53] It has been hypothesized that the cause of this "quiescent" state is the male's massaging of the female's abdomen, following male vibratory signals on the web. The female enters a passive state, and the male's risk of facing cannibalism is reduced. This state is most likely induced as a result of a male volatile pheromone.[53] The chemical structure of the pheromone utilized by the male A. aperta is currently unknown; however, physical contact is not necessary for the induced passive state. Eunuch males, or males with partially or fully removed palps, are unable to induce the passive state on females from a distance, but can induce quiescence upon physical contact with the female; this suggests that the pheromone produced is potentially related to sperm production, since the male inserts sperm from his pedipalps, structures which are removed in eunuchs.[53] This adaptation has most likely evolved in response to the overly aggressive nature of female spiders.

Costs and benefits for males

编辑

The physiological impacts of cannibalism on male fitness include his inability to father any offspring if he is unable to mate with a female. There are males in species of arachnids, such as N. plumipes, that sire more offspring if the male is cannibalized after or during mating; copulation is prolonged and sperm transfer is increased.[48] In the species of orb-weaving spider, Argiope arantia, males prefer short copulation duration upon the first palp insertion in order to avoid cannibalism. Upon the second insertion, however, the male remains inserted in the female. The male exhibits a "programmed death" to function as a full-body genital plug. This causes it to become increasingly difficult for the female to remove him from her genital openings, discouraging her from mating with other males.[54] An additional benefit to cannibalization is the idea that a well-fed female is less likely to mate again.[55] If the female has no desire to mate again, the male who has already mated with her has his paternity ensured.

Genital mutilation

编辑

Before or after copulating with females, certain males of spider species in the superfamily Araneoidea become half or full eunuchs with one or both of their pedipalps (male genitals) severed. This behavior is often seen in sexually cannibalistic spiders, causing them to exhibit the "eunuch phenomenon".[49] Due to the chance that they may be eaten during or after copulation, male spiders use genital mutilation to increase their chances of successful mating. The male can increase his chances of paternity if the female's copulatory organs are blocked, which decreases sperm competition and her chances of mating with other males. In one study, females with mating plugs had a 75% less chance of re-mating.[56] Additionally, if a male successfully severs his pedipalp within the female copulatory duct the pedipalp can not only serve as a plug but can continue to release sperm to the female spermathacae, again increasing the male's chances of paternity. This is referred to as "remote copulation".[57] Occasionally (in 12% of cases in a 2012 study on Nephilidae spiders) palp severance is only partial due to copulation interruption by sexual cannibalism. Partial palp severance can result in a successful mating plug but not to the extent of full palp severance.[57] Some males, as in the orb-weaving spider, Argiope arantia, have been found to spontaneously die within fifteen minutes of their second copulation with a female.[54] The male dies while his pedipalps are still intact within the female, as well as still swollen from copulation. In this "programmed death", the male is able to utilize his entire body as a genital plug for the female, causing it to be much more difficult for her to remove him from her copulatory ducts.[54] In other species males voluntarily self-amputate a pedipalp prior to mating and thus the mutilation is not driven by sexual cannibalism. This has been hypothesized to be due to an increased fitness advantage of half or full eunuchs. Upon losing a pedipalp males experience a significant decrease in body weight that provides them with enhanced locomotor abilities and endurance, enabling them to better search for a mate and mate-guard after mating. This is referred to as the "gloves-off" theory.[58]

Male self-sacrifice

编辑

Male reproductive success can be determined by their number of fathered offspring, and monogyny is seen quite often in sexually cannibalistic species. Males are willing to sacrifice themselves, or lose their reproductive organs in order to ensure their paternity from one mating instance.[54][56] Whether it is by spontaneous programmed death, or the male catapulting into the mouth of the female, these self-sacrificing males die in order for prolonged copulation to occur. Males of many of these species cannot replenish sperm stores, therefore they must exhibit these extreme behaviors in order to ensure sperm transfer and fathered offspring during their one and only mating instance. An example of such behavior can be seen in the Australian redback spider. The males of this species "somersault" into the mouths of the female after copulation has occurred, which has been shown to increase paternity by sixty five percent when compared to males that are not cannibalized. A majority of males in this species are likely to die on the search for a mate, so the male must sacrifice himself as an offering if it means prolonged copulation and doubled paternity. In many species, cannibalized males can mate longer, thus having longer sperm transfers.[59]

Monogamy

编辑

Males in these mating systems are generally monogamous, if not bigynous, and have sexually evolved accordingly.[49] Since males of these cannibalistic species have adapted to the extreme mating system, and usually mate only once with a polyandrous female, they are considered monogynous.[60]

Other evolutionary factors

编辑

Sexual dimorphism

编辑

Sexual dimorphism in size has been proposed as an explanation for the widespread nature of sexual cannibalism across distantly related arthropods. Typically, male birds and mammals are larger as they participate in male-male competition.[61] However, in arthropods this size dimorphism ratio is reversed, with females commonly larger than males. Sexual cannibalism may have led to selection for larger, stronger, females in invertebrates.[62] Further research is needed to evaluate the explanation. To date, studies have been done on wolf spiders such as Zyuzicosa (Lycosidae), where the female is much larger than the male.[63]
