Nestmate recognition in a stingless bee: does the similarity of chemical cues determine guard acceptance?
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008)
The ability to discriminate nestmates from non-nestmates is critical to the maintenance of the integrity of social insect colonies. Guard workers compare the chemical cues of an incoming individual with their internal ...
From copula to fertilization: The reproduction of primitive crab Hypoconcha parasitica (Linnaeus, 1763) (Podotremata: Dromiidae)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2022-04-08)
This study describes the mating behavior of Hypoconcha parasitica under laboratory conditions highlighting the spermathecal morphology and focusing on the seminal fluid storage and release of spermatozoa. The pairs were ...
The Role of Males in Host-Fruit Selection by Females of a Walnut Infesting Tephritid (Diptera) Rhagoletis zoqui
(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2016-01)
Rhagoletis zoqui Bush flies have a mating system in which males guard and defend walnut fruit-hosts from other males and mate, apparently without courtship, with females as they arrive to oviposit. Hypothetically, female ...
Mating system and exclusive postzygotic paternal care in a Neotropical harvestman (Arachnida: Opiliones)
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010)
This study tests predictions of the hypothesis of evolution of paternal care via sexual selection by using the Neotropical harvestman Pseudopucrolia sp. as the model organism. Females use natural cavities in roadside banks ...
Parental care and reproductive strategies in notothenioid fishes
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-03-03)
The adoption of parental care behaviours is the distinctive reproductive characteristic associated with the diversification and divergence of notothenioid fishes into an array of habitats in the subzero shelf and upper ...
Agonistic behaviour and reproductive biology of squat lobsters
(Csiro Publishing, 2011)
Squat lobsters are ubiquituous in many benthic habitats yet very little is known about theirbehavioural ecology. In this contribution we synthesise reports of agonistic and reproductiveinteractions of squat lobsters in ...
Reproductive behavior of Acanthagrion truncatum Selys, 1876 (Odonata: Coenagrionidae)
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTDABINGDON, 2012)
Behavioral data on Neotropical coenagrionids is still scanty, with very few studies on their reproductive behavior. Here we present the first description of the reproductive behavior of A. truncatum in a high density ...
Implicaciones adaptativas del sistema de apareamiento y "Female-Guarding" en ranas arlequines (Bufonidae: Aatelopus)
(Universidad de los AndesDoctorado en Ciencias - BiologíaFacultad de CienciasDepartamento de Ciencias Biológicas, 2021)
El sistema de apareamiento es el marco donde selección sexual opera. Selección favorecerá la evolución de características fenotípicas que ayuden a los individuos a ser más exitosos al momento de la reproducción. En ...
