Abstract
Tatochila butterflies show prolonged survival in cold (2° C) storage. Mating significantly reduces survival in males, suggesting that nutrients may be directed into spermatophores or maintenance under storage conditions; this provides a potential index of male nutrient investment in reproduction.Year: 1982 PMID: 28310616 DOI: 10.1007/BF00377149
