Functional aspects of genital differences in Leucauge argyra and L. mariana (Araneae: Tetragnathidae)
(2013)
Morphological studies have documented the tendency for male genitalia to diverge rapidly compared to other body parts in many animal groups, including spiders. But documentation of how differences in genital structures of ...
Variation in the intermittent buzzing songs of male medflies (diptera: tephritidae) associated with geography, mass-rearing, and courtship success
(Florida Entomologist 85(1) March 2002, 2002-03)
Varios aspectos de los patrones temporales de los sonidos del zumbido intermitente producido durante el cortejo pre-copulatório de los machos de la mosca del Mediterráneo variaron entre moscas silvestres de Costa Rica, ...
Male courtship behavior in Ceratitis Capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) that have received aromatherapy with ginger root oil
(Florida Entomologist 90(1), 175-179, March 2007, 2007-03)
The results of previous studies that showed that exposing mass-reared male Mediterranean
fruit flies
Ceratitis capitata
(Wiedemann) to ginger root oil (“aromatherapy”) increases the
likelihood of mating with wild females ...
Hairy kisses: tactile cheliceral courtship affects female mating decisions in Leucauge mariana (Araneae, Tetragnathidae)
(2015)
Sexual selection is thought to be an important force driving the evolution of sexually dimorphic morphology and behavior, but direct experimental tests of the functions of species-specific details of morphology are rare ...
Medfly courtship duration: a sexually selected reaction norm changed by crowding
(Ethology Ecology & Evolution 10: 369-382, 1998, 1998-10)
The evolutionary effects of crowding on male courtship behavior were
studied using wild and mass-reared medflies. Mass-reared strains had been raised
under highly crowded conditions in mass-rearing facilities for ...
Comparative Allometry and Sexual Behavior of Four Fruit Fly Species in the Tribe Ceratitidini (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(Journal of the Kansas entomological society 78(1), 2005, pp. 20-33, 2005)
Sexual dimorphisms in four related species of tephritid flies were shown to be associated with differences in sexual behavior. In two species, Ceratitis capitata and C. catoirii, males and females approach closely head to ...
Experimental modifications imply a stimulatory function for male tsetse fly genitalia, supporting cryptic female choice theory
(THE AUTHORS. J. EVOL. BIOL. 22 (2009) 151 6-1525 JOURNAL COMPILATION, 2009)
One of the most sweeping of all patterns in morphological evolution is that animal genitalia tend to diverge more rapidly than do other structures. Abundant indirect evidence supports the cryptic female choice (CFC) ...
Complex behavioral plasticity is not lost in spiderlings with miniature brains
(2021-06-16)
The brains of smaller animals are smaller than those of their larger relatives, but it is not clear whether their adaptive behavioral flexibility is more limited. Previous interspecific comparisons found that aspects of ...
