Frog

In numerous species, there are variations in breeding preferences and strategies between males and females. When male aggression towards unreceptive females takes a wrong turn, it can lead to reproductive failure and, in certain instances, the death of the females involved. This phenomenon appears to be especially relevant among explosive breeding anuran species, which encompass around 4,500 species of frogs and toads. These species have been associated with a heightened risk of female mortality during mating.
