Male Antechinus' Unique Breeding Behavior: Sleep Deprivation and High Sexual Selection

Broke On: Thursday, 25 January 2024 Male antechinus, small marsupials from Australia, forgo sleep during their breeding season to mate with every female and then die en masse. This behavior is unique among mammals as most animals need both sleep and reproduction to survive. The study found that male antechinus moved around more during the breeding season than non-breeding males, on average 20% lower sleep time per day compared with non-breeding season. One male's sleep time was over 50% lower. This behavior is thought to be driven by strong sexual selection and a need for genetic diversity in the population.
