Sperm with added aggro

摘要

What got you interested in how mating affects female behaviour? For decades, my mum told me stories about how when she was pregnant with me she used to feel bursts of irrational rage towards everyone around her, Yet she didn't blame the woman who stole her taxi while she was going into labour, nor the colleague who'd forgotten about the time difference and called her up at 4 am, She blamed me, her unborn child. After 26 years of hearing these stories and taking the blame, I am researching female aggression after mating, So was your mum on to something? She is actually backed up by a fair bit of science, Female aggression rises after mating in a lot of species: you find it in mammals, birds, fish,,. I even found that in fruit flies, mated females will spend twice as long fighting over food as virgin females.
