Reproductive biology and behavior of Doru taeniatum (Forficulidae)
(Revista de BioIogía Tropical 36(2B): 437-440, 1988., 1988)
This study deals with the biology of Doru taeniatum, (Forficuüdae), particulary the habitat, feeding, reproduction, maternal care, and nymphal stages. The density of adults is higher in the older corn plants.
The earwings ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Nephila clavipes spiders (Araneae: Nephilidae) keep track of captured prey counts: testing for a sense of numerosity in an orb-weaver
(Animal Cognition DOI 10.1007/s10071-014-0801-9, 2014-08-28)
Nephila clavipes golden orb-web spiders accumulate prey larders on their webs and search for them if they are removed from their web. Spiders that lose larger larders (i.e., spiders that lose larders consisting of more ...
Sounds in Melipona costaricensis (Apidae: Meliponini): effect of sugar concentration and nectar source distance
(Apidologie 33 (2002) 375–388, 2002)
The principal finding presented here is that Melipona costaricensis produces sounds that vary significantly
in relation to varying sugar concentrations. Several components of the sounds produced, during the
bees’stay ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
