Acoustic courtship songs in males of the fruit fly Anastrepha ludens (Diptera: Tephritidae) associated with geography, mass rearing and courtship success
(Rev. Biol. Trop. 57 (Suppl. 1): 257-265. Epub 2009 November 30., 2009-11-30)
The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) has been used successfully to control or eradicate fruit flies. The
commonly observed inferiority of mass-reared males, compared with wild males, when they are paired with wild
females, ...
La alometría estática de estructuras bajo selección sexual.
(2012-04-24)
El proyecto se diseñó para determinar la alometría del tamaño de las estructuras genitálicas y otras no-genitálicas en varias especies de Coleoptera. El informe es una lista de las publicaciones generadas a partir de la ...
Copulatory dialogue: female spiders sing during copulation to influence male genitalic movements
(Animal Behaviour, 2006, 72, 413-421, 2006)
Female behaviour during copulation that could function as communication with the male is probably more common than previously appreciated, but its functional significance remains little studied. Stridulation during copulation ...
Movements and morphology under sexual selection: tsetse fly genitalia
(Ethology Ecology & Evolution 22: 385–391, 2010, 2010-04-17)
SHÖN (2009, Ethology Ecology & Evolution 21: 161–172) pointed out that in order
to understand the functional morphology of sexually selected structures that are used
as signaling devices in birds, it is crucial to ...
Caracterización del comportamiento y las señales vibratorias en Euthyrhynchus floridanus (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) durante el cortejo y la cópula
(Revista de Biología Tropical Vol. 62 (1): 95-107, March 2014, 2014-03)
Euthyrhynchus floridanus (Linnaeus) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) es una especie neotropical perteneciente a la familia Pentatomidae con más de 4 000 especies descritas, y se distribuye desde la Florida hasta Brasil. Este ...
Possible Fisherian Changes in Female Mate-Choice Criteria in a Mass-Reared Strain of Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(Annals of the Entomological Society of America Vol. 93, no. 2, 343-345, 2000)
The frequent interruption of male courtship in highly crowded mass-rearing cages of
Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) was correlated with changes in both male courtship and female
acceptance criteria in a mass-reared Costa ...
The hub as a launching platform: rapid movements of the spider Leucauge mariana (Araneae: Tetragnathidae) as it turns to attack prey
(The Journal of Arachnology arac-39-01-13.3d 22/12/10 13:25:38 1 Cust # Hi10-76, 2011)
Spiders are effectively blind with respect to the lines in their webs, and they commonly use exploratory leg movements to find lines, just as a blind man finds objects using a cane. Nevertheless, a mature female Leucauge ...
Experimental demonstration of possible cryptic female choice on male tsetse fly genitalia
(J. Insect Physiol. 2009 Nov; 55(11): 989-996, 2009)
A possible explanation for one of the most general trends in animal evolution – rapid divergent evolution
of animal genitalia – is that male genitalia are used as courtship devices that influence cryptic female
choice. ...
Substrate vibrations in the scorpion Centruroides margaritatus (Scorpiones: Buthidae) during courtship
(Rev. Biol. Trop. (Int. J. Trop. Biol. ISSN-0034-7744) Vol. 57 (Suppl. 1): 267-274, November 2009, 2009-11)
Mating behavior in Centruroides margaritatus, as in other scorpion species, includes a series of rapid
rocking or shaking movements of the male (“juddering”). It has been suggested that substrate vibrations are
generated ...
Courtship behavior of different wild strains of Ceratitis Capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(Florida Entomologist 90(1) March 2007, 2007-03)
Este estudio documenta diferencias en el comportamiento de cortejo de cepas silvestres de
Ceratitis capitata
(Wied.) provenientes de Madeira (Portugal), Hawaii (Estados Unidos de
Norte América), Costa Rica y Patagonia ...
