The optimal copulation duration \((t)\) in insects is strongly influenced by the existence and importance of sperm precedence mechanisms. Using an optimization model, we predict the effects of sperm precedence patterns on the copulation duration for which "number of fertilized eggs"/"costs" is maxim

In ants, because males have a finite sperm supply and females mate only at the beginning of their reproductive lives, it is possible to infer which is the limiting sex from a few parameters: the amount of sperm produced by males, the amount of sperm stored by females, and the numerical sex ratio. In
