The uloborid Philoponella z~icziza builds orb webs among the frame lines of the platform web constructed by Tengella radiata Kulczynski, the much larger tengellid species. Experiments with marked P. zicina determine...

متن کاملEnigmatic Liaisons in Lepidoptera: A Review of Same-Sex Courtship and Copulation in Butterflies and Moths
Same-sex sexual interactions (SSSI) have been observed in many animal groups and have intrigued evolutionists. In this paper, reports on SSSI in Lepidoptera are reviewed and evolutionary hypotheses that could explain these behaviors are discussed. SSSI have been documented in males of 25 species and in females from role-reversed populations of one species. Four types of SSSI have been reported:...
