The frequency of mating in insects is often an important determinant of female reproductive output and male sperm competition. In Lepidoptera that provide male nutrients to the female when mating, it is hypothesized that polyandry may be more prevalent. This is thought to be especially so among species described as income breeders; that is, in species who do not derive all their nutrients for reproductive output entirely from the resources obtained during the larval stage. We selected the geometrid moth, Mnesampela privata (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), to examine this hypothesis further. We found this species was best characterized as an income breeder with female weight on emergence positively correlated with total egg load but not with the number of eggs laid. Further, in accord with income breeders, females emerged with a partially developed egg load and lifetime fecundity was positively correlated with the number of oviposition days. However, in the laboratory we found that incidence of repeated matings or polyandry was rare. When moths were paired singly over their lifetime, only 4% of mated females multiple mated. When females were paired with three males concurrently, female mating success increased from 60 to 81% with multiple mating among mated females increasing to just 15%. Dissection of wild caught M. privata found that polyandry levels were also low with a maximum of 16.4% of females collected at any one time being multiple mated. In accord with theory, mating significantly increased the longevity of females, but not of males, suggesting that females acquire essential resources from male ejaculates. Despite this, multiple mated females showed a trend toward decreasing rather than increasing female reproductive output. Spermatophore size, measured on death of the female, was not correlated with male or female forewing length but was negatively correlated with the number of fertile eggs laid and female longevity. Smaller spermatophore width may be related to uptake of more nutrients by the female from a spermatophore. We discuss our findings in relation to income breeding and its relationship to polyandry in Lepidoptera. 相似文献

In a recent study of the hemlock looper (HL), Lambdina fiscellaria (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), long exposure of early‐diapausing eggs to high temperatures considerably reduced their ability to hatch. This finding raised the possibility that adults could also be negatively affected by increasing temperatures if they reproduced too early in the season in response to global warming. To investigate this hypothesis, newly formed HL pupae from three populations of eastern Canada ‐ Quebec (QC), Newfoundland (NL), and Labrador (LB) ‐ were submitted to four constant temperatures (10, 15, 20, or 25 °C) during pupal and adult development. The effect of population origin on HL reproduction was generally negligible. Mating probability was high at 15 and 20 °C (0.86 and 0.83, respectively), quite low at 10 °C (0.53), and even lower at 25 °C (0.38). Mating started earlier in the night and lasted longer as temperature decreased. Both productivity and absolute fecundity increased when temperature increased from 10 to 15 °C and then decreased slowly as temperature increased further. Over populations and temperatures, relative fecundity averaged 0.95, indicating that females had enough time to lay most of their eggs before they died. High temperatures had a deleterious effect on egg fertility: between 10 and 20 °C, relative fertility was about 0.90, but it dropped to 0.51 at 25 °C. The average proportion of fertile eggs declined from 0.88 in the first quarter of the egg‐laying period to 0.57 in the last quarter, suggesting lower sperm count or viability, or deterioration of the oocytes as the egg‐laying period progresses. Based on these findings, we argue that the production of an additional fifth instar among HL populations of southern origin can be viewed as an adaptive mechanism allowing adults to postpone reproduction or the egg‐laying period in order to mitigate the detrimental effect of high temperatures on their probability of mating successfully or that of laying fertile eggs. 相似文献

1 Although management of the oriental beetle Anomala orientalis (Waterhouse) by mating disruption shows promise across a range of agricultural systems, relatively little is known about aspects of the reproductive biology of this species relevant to its management. We studied the effects of delayed mating on several aspects of the oviposition behaviour and biology of the oriental beetle using females mated in the laboratory at 4–13 days posteclosion. 2 Females exhibited a gradual decline in fecundity with increased age at mating that was largely a function of a decline in duration of the oviposition period, as well as lower female fertility: females mated at 11 days were less likely to lay any fertile eggs. However, egg fertility did not vary with female age at mating. 3 Because mating delay did not affect longevity, females mated at older ages experienced decreased oviposition periods; however, females laid more eggs per day with increased age at mating, which partially offset shorter oviposition periods. 4 A mating delay of ≥ 6 days relative to females mated within the first day of reaching sexual maturity resulted in an approximately 35–50% lower mean fecundity. 5 These results suggest that, for mating disruption to be a successful management tool for the oriental beetle, mating must be prevented rather than delayed. We compare the findings of the present study with the published research on delayed mating in moths and discuss the importance of these results in relation to management of the oriental beetle using female sex pheromones. 相似文献

Pheromone‐based mating disruption of lepidopteran pests (Tortricidae) of pome fruits using hand‐applied dispensing systems has become standard management practice for many producers in western North America. Sprayable microencapsulated (MEC) pheromone formulations that enable the application of pheromone controls with other orchard sprays and assist in the development of multispecies mating‐disruption systems are currently under development. Responses of male Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) and Pandemis limitata (Robinson) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) to calling females in clean air, and air treated with their major pheromone component (Z)‐11‐tetradecenyl acetate (Z11‐14:OAc), released from a 3M sprayable pheromone formulation containing proprietary 3M Phase I microcapsules, applied at doses of 1, 10, and 100 mg of active ingredient (ai) m?2 to the upwind end of a flight tunnel (equivalent to field rates of 10, 100, and 1000 g ai ha?1) were compared in laboratory flight tunnels. In both species, disorientation was found to be dose‐dependent, because relative to male orientation to calling females in clean air, the orientation of male P. limitata was disrupted 23.3, 46.3, and 71.3%, and orientation by male C. rosaceana was disrupted 31.6, 37.7, and 45.8% by treatment doses of 1, 10, and 100 mg m?2, respectively. Latency of male responses to calling females in a background of Z11‐14:OAc relative to responses in clean air was also dose‐dependent. Albeit short, the disruption lasted 26, 74, and 218 h in P. limitata and 30, 54, and 174 h in C. rosaceana at each application rate, respectively. Disruption by pheromone treatment was greater in P. limitata than in C. rosaceana. This difference may be correlated with species’ differences in the pheromone release rates of females. Mechanisms of disruption invoked by this 3M MEC pheromone formulation are discussed in relation to issues of its longevity and observed differences in the effects against the two species. It appears possible to evaluate relative activity of MEC pheromones in a laboratory setting which may aid in development of new formulations for mating disruption. 相似文献

In forest plots treated aerially with a plastic laminated flake formulation (Disrupt® II) of the gypsy moth sex pheromone disparlure to disrupt gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), mating was monitored the year of treatment and 1–2 years after treatment to determine the effects of the treatment on suppression of trap catch and mating success. In the year of treatment, there was a greater than 95% reduction in trap catch and a greater than 98% reduction in mating success compared to controls. One year after treatment at a dosage of 37.5 g active ingredient (a.i.) ha?1, trap catch was reduced by 46–56% and mating success was reduced by 60–79%. Both trap catch and mating success were significantly reduced compared to controls in plots treated 1 year previously at 15 g a.i. ha?1. Trap catch, but not mating success, was significantly reduced 2 years after treatment at 37.5 g a.i. ha?1. The efficacy of mating disruption (MD) treatments in the Slow‐the‐Spread of the Gypsy Moth program was significantly reduced 2 years compared to 1 year after treatment. No such reduction was observed in plots treated with aerial applications of Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki. The higher apparent efficacy of MD treatments 1 year after application may result to some extent from the suppression of moth capture in pheromone traps from the persistent effects of the previous year's treatment. 相似文献

Many herbivorous insects emerge synchronously with budburst of their host plant, as the nutritional quality of foliage often decreases rapidly following budburst. We carried out manipulative field experiments to evaluate the influence of bud and shoot phenology on performance of the hemlock looper, Lambdina fiscellaria Guenée (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Ourapterygini), on balsam fir, Abies balsamea (L.) Mill. (Pinaceae), in NF, Canada. Hemlock looper survival, pupal weight, and realized fecundity, which were then combined to estimate fitness, were all highest when newly emerged first instars were placed on foliage of current‐year shoots that had completed approximately 25–35% of their elongation, and lower when placed on younger or older foliage. Survival of a small portion of larvae placed on buds a week before budburst suggests that newly emerged first instars either entered unburst buds or survived for a week without food. In laboratory experiments, approximately half of larvae survived for 4 days without food or water at 10 °C and 65% r.h. The timing of egg hatch in the field appeared to be adaptive, but the short duration of egg hatch suggests that another factor in addition to host plant phenology exerts stabilizing selection pressure on the timing of egg hatch. 相似文献

The potential for pheromone-based mating disruption of eye-spotted bud moth (ESBM), Spilonota ocellana (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), in apple orchards in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia was examined in small-plot trials. In a preliminary experiment, treatment of the orchard atmosphere with a 99:1 blend of Z8-tetradecenyl acetate (Z8-14:OAc) and Z8-tetradecenyl alcohol (Z8-14:OH) completely inhibited captures of male ESBM in pheromone-baited traps, but treatment with Z8-14:OAc alone did not. Therefore, all subsequent trials used the two-component blend as a disruptant. Mean catches of male ESBM in traps baited with 0.1, 1, 10, or 20 mg of 99:1 Z8-14:OAc and Z8-14:OH were significantly reduced (81–97%) in pheromone-treated plots relative to similar traps placed in control plots. In both control and treated plots, there was a significant positive relationship between trap bait dose and trap catch. In pheromone-treated plots, this suggests that high doses of trap baits over-ride the camouflage effect of disruption or overcome the effect of sensory adaptation and habituation. The number of virgin-female baited traps capturing at least one male ESBM was reduced by 96%, and mating of virgin females on mating tables was reduced by 95% in plots treated with the two-component pheromone. The total amount of Z8-14:OAc released from pheromone disruption dispensers during the latter field trials was estimated to average 6.4 g ha-1 over 11 days or 26.4 mg ha-1 h-1. The low levels of Z8-14:OH released from disruption dispensers could not be estimated by GC analysis. Dispensers loaded with a 99:1 blend of Z8-14:OAc and Z8-14:OH were highly attractive to males in baited traps, indicating that they have the potential to induce false trail following. 相似文献

It is widely assumed that a blend of pheromone components, that is qualitatively and quantitatively similar to the natural sex attractant, is the most effective mating disruptant for moths. However, the literature contains only limited evidence supporting this assumption. The authors discuss the importance of comparing the relative effectiveness of complete and incomplete pheromone blends when evaluating the potential of mating disruption for controlling pest moths. 相似文献

Studies of phenotypic selection in natural populations often concentrate only on short time periods and do not quantify selection intensities. We quantified temporal and microspatial variation in the intensities of natural and sexual selection for body size in the yellow dung fly over 2 years. Female fecundity selection intensity remained approximately constant over the season with an overall mean ± SE of 0.187 ± 0.014. Selection intensity for male reproductive success, defined as eggs obtained by mating males, did not differ from zero, indicating there was no assortative mating by size. Sexual selection intensity for male mating success favouring large males was variable but overall strong in the two years (0.499 ± 0.053 and 0.510 ± 0.051). As theoretically expected for male–male competition, sexual selection intensity increased with competitor density and reached an asymptote at about 250 males per pat; it also decreased with time in spring and increased again in autumn as a function of density. Small males had the best chance of obtaining a female at very low male densities. Greater selection intensity for large size in males than females is consistent with, and might be responsible for, the observed sexual size dimorphism in this species, as males are larger. The seasonal pattern of mean male body size (smallest at the beginning and end of the season) most likely reflects mere environmental (primarily temperature) influences on phenotypic size. 相似文献

The balance of selection acting through different fitness components (e.g. fecundity, mating success, survival) determines the potential tempo and trajectory of adaptive evolution. Yet the extent to which the temporal dynamics of phenotypic selection may vary among fitness components is poorly understood. Here, we compiled a database of 3978 linear selection coefficients from temporally replicated studies of selection in wild populations to address this question. Across studies, we find that multi-year selection through mating success and fecundity is stronger than selection through survival, but varies less in direction. We also report that selection through mating success varies more in long-term average strength than selection through either survival or fecundity. The consistency in direction and stronger long-term average strength of selection through mating success and fecundity suggests that selection through these fitness components should cause more persistent directional evolution relative to selection through survival. Similar patterns were apparent for the subset of studies that evaluated the temporal dynamics of selection on traits simultaneously using several different fitness components, but few such studies exist. Taken together, these results reveal key differences in the temporal dynamics of selection acting through different fitness components, but they also reveal important limitations in our understanding of how selection drives adaptive evolution. 相似文献

The effect of delayed female mating for the mushroom fungus gnat Lycoriella ingenua is investigated. We examine the effect of delaying female mating on the fertility and egg viability of female flies that have a mating delay of 0–5 days after emergence. Male fly age is held constant. Female age does not impact male acceptance and most flies copulate within seconds of pairing. We find that female flies experiencing mating delays of 0–4 days after emergence lay a similar number of eggs onto artificial substrates. Females that experience a mating delay of 5 days lay 54% fewer eggs than those that mate on day 0 (day of emergence). There is no effect of mating delay on the percentage of larvae that emerge. The results of the present study indicate that mating delays have little effect on the fertility or fecundity of the mushroom fungus pest L. ingenua. 相似文献

Dominance hierarchies are thought to provide various fitness-related benefits to dominant individuals (e.g., preferential access to food or mating partners). Remarkably, however, different studies on this topic have produced contradictory results, with some showing strong positive association between rank and fitness (i.e., dominants gain benefits over subordinates), others weak associations, and some others even revealing negative associations. Here, we investigate dominance-related benefits across primate species while controlling for phylogenetic effects. We extracted data from 94 published studies, representing 25 primate species (2 lemur species, 4 New World monkeys, 16 Old World monkeys, and 3 apes), to assess how dominance affects life-history and behavior. We used standard and phylogenetic meta-analyses to analyze the benefits of dominance in primates. Dominant females had higher infant survival to first year, although we found no significant effect of dominance on female feeding success. Results for female fecundity differed between the two meta-analytical approaches, with no effect of dominance on female fecundity after controlling for phylogeny. Dominant males had a higher fecundity and mating success than subordinate males. Finally, the benefits of dominance for female fecundity were stronger in species with a longer lifespan. Our study supports the view that dominance hierarchies are a key aspect of primate societies as they indeed provide a number of fitness-related benefits to individuals. 相似文献

Females of Adoxophyes orana F. v. R. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) could mate after one day, or after up to 7 days, after eclosion. It was recorded how many eggs per female were laid, had been fertilized and ultimately hatched. Mating rate was assessed by counting the spermatophores in a female.Egg production did not depend on mating rate, but proportion fertilization of eggs from females with three or more spermatophores was reduced. Delayed mating promoted longevity and changed the pattern of oviposition in time. No correlation was found between the proportion hatching of fertilized eggs and any of the other variables in the experiments.The data were introduced into a population model to compute the relation between fecundity and probability to mate.
Effets du nombre d'accouplements et du retard de la date du premier accouplement sur la fécondité de Adoxophyes orana
Résumé Des femelles de A. orana F. v. R. (Lep., Tortricid.) ont eu la possibilité de s'accoupler le lendemain de leur émergence. Nous avons dénombré l'effectif d'oeufs pondus par chaque femelle, et calculé leur taux de fertilisation et d'éclosion. Les femelles ont été disséquées et les spermatophores comptés pour déterminer le nombre de copulations. La même procédure a été suivie avec d'autres femelles qui ont pu copuler librement jusquà leur mort, (leur longévité a été notée), mais avec une date du premier accouplement pouvant être retardée jusqu'à 6 jours après l'émergence.La production d'oeufs ne dépend pas du nombre de copulations, mais le taux de fertilisation des femelles avec 3 ou 4 spermatophores a été plus faible. Le retard de la date du premier accouplement augmente la longévité, mais réduit légérement le taux de fertilisation. La production d'oeufs était à peu près proportionnelle à la durée de la vie décomptée à partir du moment où la copulation était possible. Aucune corrélation n'a été mise en évidence entre la taux d'éclosion des oeufs fertilisés et les variables de l'habitat.Pour évaluer ces résultats et obtenir plus de connaissances sur les conséquences des copulations retardées, par exemple provenant de procédures d'interruption des copulations, les données ont été introduites successivement dans un modèle de populations pour établir la relations entre fécondité et probabilité d'accouplement.相似文献

Abstract: Interference with the mate-finding communication system of Cydia trasias (Meyrick) using sex pheromone dispensers (60% E8,E10-dodecadienyl acetate and 40% E8,E10-dodecadien-1-ol, 0.5 mg/dispenser) was investigated in three plots of the Chinese scholar-tree, Sophora japonica L., in Beijing, China, in 2000. Treatments were evaluated by pheromone-baited traps, caged virgin females, pupating and hibernating populations on tree trunks, and assessment of larval damage in petioles and seed pods. Six to eight natural rubber septum dispensers were placed in each tree at the pheromone-treated plots at three separate periods: at the beginning of overwintering generation flight, the first- and the second-generation flights. Application of pheromone dispensers reduced the incidence of mating of virgin females in treated plots relative to those in the control plots. Pheromone-baited trap catches were lowered on average by 96%, suggesting a high level of disruption. Average larval density on tree trunks was significantly lower in the pheromone-treated plots than in the untreated control plots. The mean percentage of Chinese scholar-tree petioles infested with first- and second-generation larvae, and seed pods infested with third-generation larvae was significantly greater in untreated control plots than in pheromone-treatment plots. These results suggest that disruption of pheromone-based communication in C. trasias is prospective, with synthetic sex pheromone on trees in urban environments. 相似文献

An attractive four-component pheromone blend containing a major component Z11-tetradecenyl acetate, and three minor components, E11-tetradecenyl acetate, Z11-tetradecenyl alcohol, and Z11-tetradecenyl aldehyde was tested as a mating disruptant against western Canadian populations of the obliquebanded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), in organic apple orchards in British Columbia. Efficacy of this four-component blend was compared to that of partial pheromone blends containing the major component plus one or two minor components. A trapping experiment confirmed that, Conrel® fibre disruption dispensers containing the four-component blend were more attractive than disruption dispensers containing the two- or three-component partial blends. A small-plot protocol was followed to compare atmospheric treatments with these blends as mating disruptants at a release rate of 10 mg ha–1 h–1 and from 1000 dispensers ha–1. Mechanisms of mating disruption, such as false-trail following and camouflage of pheromone plumes, that may be evoked to a greater degree by an attractive blend, did not appear to augment the effectiveness of mechanisms invoked by the less attractive blends, as the proportion of mating among tethered females was equal in plots treated with these blends and was reduced by 85–90% compared to the nontreated control. When the four-component pheromone blend was tested at different release rates, mating disruption in small plots began to break down at a release rate of 1.3 mg ha–1 h–1 using a dispenser density of 1000 ha–1. Above 1.3 mg ha–1 h–1 there was no dose response in release rates tested and at release rates below this dose the proportion of tethered females mating was the same as in the nontreated control. The four-component pheromone blend was tested against, and found to be no more effective than, the two-component partial blend at the threshold release rate of 1.3 mg ha–1 h–1 when it was released from 1000 or 250 disruption dispensers. Our results suggest that disruption mechanisms evoked by the attractive blend did not enhance the mating disruption effect provided by the simple blend, therefore a two-component blend may be useful in an operational mating disruption program for C. rosaceana. 相似文献

The citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), is a worldwide pest of citrus crops and is responsible for proliferation of citrus bacterial canker, Xanthomonas axonopodis (Hasse) pv. citri (Gamma Proteobacteria: Xanthomonadaceae). We developed and evaluated an attracticide formulation, termed MalEx, for control of P. citrella. MalEx is a viscous paste with UV‐protective properties that is dispensed as 50‐μl droplets using custom‐made calibrated pumps. A formulation containing 0.016%P. citrella pheromone [3:1 blend of (Z,Z,E)‐7,11,13‐hexadecatrienal and (Z,Z)‐7,11‐hexadecadienal] and 6% permethrin was found to suppress male response to pheromone in the field better than formulations containing 10× less pheromone. Although formulations without permethrin showed some suppression of male activity because of mating disruption, addition of 6% permethrin to the formulation was required for optimal efficacy. When MalEx, containing 0.016% pheromone and 6% permethrin, was applied at 3 000 point sources ha?1, the application height did not influence efficacy of male P. citrella suppression within mature 4‐m tall citrus trees. Decreasing the rate of MalEx from 3 000 to 1 500 droplets ha?1 reduced efficacy as measured by both male P. citrella activity and larval infestation. Although 4 500 droplets ha?1 did not result in statistically better efficacy than 3 000 droplets ha?1, there was a noticeable trend for higher efficacy as droplet density increased. Continuous treatment of 0.5‐ha blocks of citrus with MalEx over the course of 112 days reduced larval infestation of new flush, as compared with those in untreated control plots, by 3.6–7.2× depending on droplet application density. In laboratory behavioral bioassays, the attractiveness of MalEx droplets to male P. citrella was drastically reduced after 21 days of field aging. However, our laboratory investigation confirmed that 100% of males contacting MalEx droplets, aged up to 35 days in the field, were killed within 24 h. Direct observation of male P. citrella behavior in the field confirmed that attracted males made contact with droplets. Control of P. citrella with MalEx should reduce the number of required broad spectrum sprays for leafminer management in both field and citrus nursery settings. 相似文献

Relationship between sex pheromone elicited behaviour and response of single olfactory receptor neurones in a wind tunnel 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Responses from pheromone‐specific receptor neurones in male Agrotis segetum (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were recorded in a laboratory wind tunnel. Stimuli were: (1) rubber septum dispensers loaded with single components or a four‐component pheromone blend, (2) excised glands from female A. segetum, (3) constrained A. segetum females with extruded glands. Dose–response curves for three neurone‐types with different specificity were established. The neurones were specifically tuned to respond to either one of the two pheromone components (Z)‐5‐decenyl acetate and (Z)‐7‐dodecenyl acetate, or to the behavioural antagonist (Z)‐5‐decenol. In parallel, a behavioural dose–response curve with males flying upwind to a four‐component pheromone blend was established. There was a clear correlation between behavioural arrestment of upwind flight and maximum spiking activity in Z5–10:OAc‐specific neurones. The pheromone release rates of individual females and synthetic dispensers were compared. A load of 50–200 ng of Z5–10:OAc on a rubber septum elicited approximately the same neural response as one female gland. 相似文献
