Abstract

Copulation duration, re-mating interval, and ejaculate volume (disintegrations per minute of H3+) was analyzed in the millipede Chersastus inscriptus. Re-mating interval negatively related to second duration (y = 36 + 0.01x) and relative ejaculate volume increased from 21% to 77% in favor of second males after 24h intervals.
