Gene expression profile of Aedes aegypti females in courtship and mating
(2019-12-01)
Aedes aegypti is the most synanthropic and anthropophilic mosquito of Culicidae. This species always cohabits with humans and is extremely opportunistic. Vector dispersal is directly related to the ability of the females ...
Show me you care: female mate choice based on egg attendance rather than male or territorial traits
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2020-07-01)
Female mate choice is often based on male traits, including signals or behaviors, and/or the quality of a male's territory. In species with obligate paternal care, where care directly affects offspring survival, females ...

Análisis sensorial de mate frío (tereré) de jugo artificial sabor naranja mediante estadística de supervivenciaSensory analysis of cold mate (tereré) with artificial orange juice using survival statistics
(Universidad Nacional de Misiones. Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Químicas y Naturales. Secretaria de Investigación y Posgrado, 2021-02-02)
Se realizó un ensayo de aceptabilidad sensorial para determinar la concentración óptima de jugo para preparar mate frío o tereré y un análisis descriptivo para estudiar la variación de la intensidad de cuatro descriptores ...
Mating success of the endemic Des Murs' Wiretail (Sylviorthorhynchus desmursii, Furnariidae) in fragmented Chilean rainforests
(BLACKWELL, 2006-02)
We studied the effects of fragment size, vegetation structure and presence of habitat corridors on the reproductive success of the Des Murs' Wiretail (Sylviorthorhynchus desmursii Des Murs, Furnariidae), a small (10 g) ...
Territoriality and male-biased sexual size dimorphism in Argia reclusa (Odonata: Zygoptera)
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERGHEIDELBERG, 2012)
In Odonata, many species present sexual size dimorphism (SSD), which can be associated with male territoriality in Zygoptera. We hypothesized that in the territorial damselfly Argia reclusa, male-male competition can favor ...
Successive matings produce opposite patterns on ejaculate volume and spermatozoa number in an ancient arthropod model with indirect sperm transfer
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2019-01-15)
The production of spermatophore and ejaculate is energetically expensive for males. High mating rates may accelerate sperm depletion and progressively decrease the size of the ejaculates. Sperm competition can shape ...
Long-Term Mating Orientation in Men: The Role of Socioeconomic Status, Protection Skills, and Parenthood Disposition.
(2022)
From an evolutionary perspective, phenotypic, social, and environmental factors help
to shape the different costs and benefits of pursuing different reproductive strategies
(or a mixture of them) from one individual to ...
Effect of mating on ovary maturation in Dactylopius coccus (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Dactylopiidae).
(Universidad del ValleColombia, 2019-12-31)
The cochineal Dactylopius coccus is an industrially-important insect used to extract carminic acid (a red dye). The effect of mating on the maturation of its ovaries was determined. In order to do this, three-month old ...
Female Age Determines Remating Behavior in Wild Mexican Fruit Flies: Abraham et al.: Age Effects on Female Remating in A. ludens
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2016-05)
Male and female age are important factors that can influence mating and remating behavior. Females can discriminate against or prefer older males, but there have been relatively fewer studies on how female and male age ...
