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 ...
Copulation behaviour of Glossina pallidipes (Diptera: Muscidae) outside and inside the female, with a discussion of genitalic evolution
(Bulletin of Entomological Research (2007) 97, 1–18, 2007-04-26)
If species-specific male genitalia are courtship devices under sexual selection by cryptic female choice, then species-specific aspects of the morphology and behaviour of male genitalia should often function to stimulate ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Decisions during courtship by male and female medflies (Diptera, Tephritidae): Correlated changes in male behavior and female acceptance criteria in mass-reared flies
(Florida Entomologist 85(1):14-31. 2002, 2002-12)
Análisis de más de 300 cortejos video-grabados de moscas del Mediterráneo silvestres y criadas en masas de Costa Rica demostraron que la tendencia de los machos y las hembras de alinearse cara a cara el uno frente al otro ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
