Unwanted Reproduction

A study among male water striders found that it does not pay to be aggressive. The study was conducted at the University of Arizona found that low-key male water striders mated more with their female counterparts compared to the more aggressive insects. This is interesting because who would think that insects would have capabilities like this. Instincts like humans the females would reject the more aggressive males and go for the easy going ones. The females when they feel harassed would flee the males and not return. It is interesting to see how it does pay to be the nice guy when being an insect such as the water strider as it does in humans.
