It may be that males are trying to manipulate female mating behaviour or their life histories. Alternatively, damage may be a side-effect of male-male competition. In the black scavenger or dung fly <jats:italic>Sepsis cynipsea<\/jats:italic> (Diptera: Sepsidae) mating reduces female survival, apparently because males wound females during copulation. However, this damage does not seem to relate to attempted manipulation of female reproduction by males. Here we tested the hypothesis that harming females during mating is an incidental by-product of characters favoured during pre-copulatory male-male competition. We assessed whether males and their sons vary genetically in their ability to obtain matings and harm females, and whether more successful males were also more damaging. We did this by ranking males' mating success in paired competitions across several females whose longevity under starvation was subsequently measured.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>As previously reported, our results show mating is costly for female <jats:italic>S. cynipsea<\/jats:italic>. However, variance in female longevity was not explained by male identity, family, body size, number of previous copulations, or copulation duration. Nevertheless, there was a positive correlation between the harm fathers inflicted on their mates (affecting female longevity) and the harm sons inflicted on theirs. Additionally, family identity significantly influenced male copulation success.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Our results indicate a heritable component of some yet unspecified male trait(s) that influence harm and mating success. However, there was no relationship between copulation success of fathers or sons and the mean longevity of their mates. We therefore found no support for harm being a side effect of traits favoured in pre-copulatory male-male competition.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2148-7-194","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,17]],"date-time":"2007-10-17T18:13:47Z","timestamp":1192644827000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Is reduced female survival after mating a by-product of male-male competition in the dung fly Sepsis cynipsea?"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Y","family":"Teuschl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"DJ","family":"Hosken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"WU","family":"Blanckenhorn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"485_CR1","first-page":"349","volume-title":"Intra-sexual selection in Drosophila Heredity","author":"AJ Bateman","year":"1948","unstructured":"Bateman AJ: Intra-sexual selection in Drosophila Heredity. 1948, 2: 349-368."},{"key":"485_CR2","first-page":"136","volume-title":"Sexual Selection and the Descent of Man","author":"RL Trivers","year":"1972","unstructured":"Trivers RL: Parental investment and sexual selection.
