Sentence examples for post-mounting from inspiring English sources

Given the evidence presented here, G. gracilicornis, is the only species of Gerridae in which males, after forcefully mounting a female, produce intimate courtship signals to induce ("persuade" sensu [1]) the protrusion of female genitalia (a unique "post-mounting pre-copulatory courtship" of G. gracilicornis).

In this report, we show that the morphology-dependent concealment of female genitalia in G. gracilicornis might have triggered the evolution of male behavioral traits, such as the post-mounting, pre-copulatory courtship signals produced as ripple waves on the water's surface.
