Male Contests

In Oniscidea (terrestrial crustaceans), males are known to have longer antennae than females. This sexual dimorphism may result from a variety of selection pressures. However, some species are well known for their highly aggressive males, which use their antennae as weapons. We tested the hypothesis that longer antennae in males have been selected for by means of antennal contests. Morphological analysis of the antennae and behavioral analysis of male dyads were performed in parallel on 7 species. We demonstrate significant sexual dimorphism of the antennae in 6 of the 7 species, and various forms of male aggressiveness depending on the species. Our hypothesis was rejected because we found a negative correlation between the use of the antennae in contests and the magnitude of sexual dimorphism. Furthermore, some species are sexually dimorphic but the males never compete using their antennae. We propose and argue that scramble competition to be the first to find receptive females could explain why males have longer chemoreceptive antennae.
