Exaggerated displays do not improve mounting success in male seaweed flies Fucellia tergina (Diptera: Anthomyiidae).
Signals of individual quality are assumed to be difficult to exaggerate, either because they are directly linked to underlying traits (indices) or because they are costly to perform (handicaps). In practise advertisement displays may consist of conventional and costly components, for instance where a morphological structure related to body size is used in visual displays. In this case, there is...
متن کاملMeiosis: How Male Flies Do Meiosis
In meiosis in male fruitflies, chromosome pairing events do not facilitate genetic exchange, but rather create bivalents that can be sequestered to discrete pockets of the prophase nucleus. This assignment of homologs to a common pocket likely facilitates the orientation of homologous centromeres to opposite poles.
متن کاملEffect of Adult Diet on Signaling Activity, Mate Attraction, and Mating Success in Male Mediterranean Fruit Flies (diptera: Tephritidae)
Field experiments were performed to examine the effect of adult diet on calling activity, female attraction, and mating success in male Mediterranean fruit flies, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann). In all tests, comparisons were drawn between males fed sugar only (“proteindeprived” males) and males fed a protein-sugar mixture (“protein-fed” males). In tests of long-distance attraction, aggregation...
متن کاملAge-dependent variation in mating success of sterile male Mediterranean fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae): implications for sterile insect technique.
The sterile insect technique (SIT) is widely used in integrated programs against the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae). Unfortunately, the mass-rearing procedures inherent to the SIT often lead to a reduction in the mating ability of the released males. To counter this deficiency, SIT programs rely upon the production and release of large numbers of ...
متن کاملDo bot flies, Cuterebra (Diptera: Cuterebridae), emasculate their hosts?
Asa Fitch, in his description of a new species of Cuterebra that he nzrr'ed, "emaseulator," was the first to suggest that bot flies castrated their mammalian hosts. In recent years several major review papers and parasitology texts have continued to perpetuate this belief. A review of both the literature on bot flies and their hosts and of the life cycles of both bots and hosts provides no evid...
