Researchers from the Universities of Oxford, Stockholm and Linkoping have studied red junglefowl – that's a chicken, not a woman – and found that mating with different males makes offspring more resistant to disease.
Our experiment, in contrast, addressed the relative costs and benefits of mating with different males (stud vs. dud); the presence of an absolute cost was not addressed.
Additional indirect benefits accruing to females from mating with different partners (i.e. polyandry) such as increased offspring diversity and the opportunity for bet-hedging against genetically incompatible or inferior males [ 51, 52] further promote and maintain female remating behaviour.
Thus, both sexes may be predicted to exhibit a significant degree of mate choice based on the likely genetic and/or non-genetic benefits of mating with different individuals [ 22- 24], especially when considering long-term relationships with a higher perceived chance of reproduction [ 25].
Average female mating success (i.e., mating with different males) was 1.01 with a variance of 1.68 compared with males whose average mating success was 1.21 with a variance of 2.51 (Clarissa M. House, unpublished data; calculated according to Shuster and Wade 2003).
Nonetheless, some studies have shown that females may benefit more from mating with different males, as opposed to just one male multiple times (Newcomer et al. 1999).

Our results suggest that the interaction of genetic identity plays a significant role in maternal investment patterns, as females from the same hemiclone line (i.e. carrying the same haploid genome, and therefore of similar size) invested differently when mated with different male hemiclonal lines.
For this purpose, as-cast Co Cr cups and heads were mated with different boron additions (0, 0.3, 0.6 and 1 B wt%) and tested in 4×106 cycles using the three-axial FIME II hip joint simulator under variable load profiles, and foetal bovine serum solution was as the lubricant.
The strains χ7345 and χ7396 containing pAPEC-1-1 were then mated with different plasmidless recipient strains χ833, χ2934, and TOP10 (Table 1).
The refractory period could indirectly cause males to mate with different hermaphrodites.
Communal nesting allows females to pool their litters in a nest with those of females that mated with different males.
