Chivalrous insects

Chivalrous insects - Males of many species guard their mates to prevent them from mating with rival males, and to thusly ensure paternity. Generally this represents a source of conflict between the sexes, as it favors males at a cost to females. Here Rodríguez-Muñoz and colleagues show that sometimes, guarding can be beneficial for both sexes instead of a cause of conflict.
