He impregnated his wife again
- For instance, as the Journal of Natural History noted in 2006, male dung flies often must compete violently to impregnate females.

- Because of the competition of other males, his reign over a harem or troop is usually short, and his genetic drive dictates that he impregnate the females as quickly as possible.
