Female mating failure and the failure of ‘mating’ in sterile insect programs
The sterile insect technique (SIT) involves the inundative release of irradiated (sterile or partially sterile) insects to decrease population levels in a target pest species. The effectiveness of SIT programs depends on sterile males mating successfully and inducing reproductive failure in wild females, or in the F1 generation in the case of lepidopteran species. Thus, from the perspective of ...
متن کاملThe repeatability of mating failure in a polyandrous bug
Mating failure, characterized by the lack of production of offspring following copulation, is relatively common across taxa yet is little understood. It is unclear whether mating failures are stochastic occurrences between incompatible mating partners or represent a persistent, meaningful phenotype on the part of one or other sex. Here we test this in the seed bug Lygaeus simulans, by sequentia...
متن کاملCan females choose to avoid mating failure in the seed bug Lygaeus simulans?
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.05.004 0003-3472/© 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevie license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) It is becoming increasingly clear that copulation does not necessarily always lead to offspring production in many organisms, despite fertilization success presumably being under both strong natural and sexual selection. In the seed bug Lygaeus...
متن کاملMating-effort in Adolescence: a Conditional or Alternative Strategy *
Mating-effort was defined as the psychological effort put forth to obtain and guard short-term mates. Hypotheses were derived that contrasted two views of high mating-effort. In the conditional strategy view, social failure would occur first and lead directly to individuals’ adopting high mating-effort tactics. In the alternative strategy view, heritable dispositions would lead individuals to a...
متن کاملSPEC IAL ISSUE : FEMALE MAT ING FA I LURES A review of mate-finding Allee effects in insects: from individual behavior to population management
Like other animals and plants, insects may find it difficult to survive and reproduce in small populations, to the extent that their long-term persistence may be jeopardized. The Allee effect is a theoretical framework that formalizes this decrease in survival or reproduction in small populations, and the resulting decrease in population growth and persistence. Mating failure in low-density pop...
