Monolingual examples (not verified by PONS Editors)

English

In most species, the males' eyes are large and the front legs unusually long, for use in locating and grasping females during mid-air mating.

en.wikipedia.org

Their home range varies seasonally and also individually, and is smaller during the mating season.

en.wikipedia.org

A remarkable feature of this species is that the males show complete die-off after mating, leaving the females to raise the young alone.

en.wikipedia.org

During mating, males will try to inseminate as many females as possible.

en.wikipedia.org

Under scramble competition to inseminate females, the early matured males are smaller than the rest of the population and can attain the highest mating success.

en.wikipedia.org

These include positive assortative mating within populations, habitat selection of different populations and hybrid unfitness.

en.wikipedia.org

Instead of competing to reproduce, water striders can work together to obtain nutrition and shelter outside of the mating season.

en.wikipedia.org

The precursor to, for example, a wing, might originally have only been used for gliding, trapping flying prey, or mating display.

en.wikipedia.org

The song-flight during the mating season is an amazing spectacle.

en.wikipedia.org

The mating system is polygamous; many females will only mate once, however.
