Mmmm...

"Prior work has demonstrated that eunuch spiders are superior fighters, we here pinpoint a mechanism that enables eunuch's greater endurance"

The argonaut does something similar, hanging out in a shell-like egg case she secretes herself, along with a bit of her man.

The male anglerfish, however, makes a far greater sacrifice. He fuses with his prospective mate, in essence transforming into a brainless sack of legacy material.

There are many guys who strongly resemble the anglerfish...
