**With apologies for cross-posting** The American Naturalist study featured in the New York Times A study published in the August 2006 issue of The American Naturalist, “Complicity or Conflict over Sexual Cannibalism? Male Risk Taking in the Praying Mantis Tenodera aridifolia sinensis,” by Willam D. Brown and Jonathan Lelito, was featured in the Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2006 issue of the New York Times. From “This Can’t Be Love,” the lead article in this week’s Science Times section of the New York Times: “The female mantis devours the head of the still-mating male and then moves on to the rest of his body. “If you put a pair together and come back later, you’ll just find the wings of the male and no other evidence he was ever there,” said William Brown, an evolutionary biologist at the State University of New York in Fredonia.” The University of Chicago Press has temporarily lifted access restrictions to this article for readers who are interested in more information on sexual cannibalism among praying mantises.
