Acoustic courtship songs in males of the fruit fly Anastrepha ludens (Diptera: Tephritidae) associated with geography, mass rearing and courtship success
(Rev. Biol. Trop. 57 (Suppl. 1): 257-265. Epub 2009 November 30., 2009-11-30)
The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) has been used successfully to control or eradicate fruit flies. The
commonly observed inferiority of mass-reared males, compared with wild males, when they are paired with wild
females, ...
Copulatory dialogue: female spiders sing during copulation to influence male genitalic movements
(Animal Behaviour, 2006, 72, 413-421, 2006)
Female behaviour during copulation that could function as communication with the male is probably more common than previously appreciated, but its functional significance remains little studied. Stridulation during copulation ...
Male courtship behavior in Ceratitis Capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) that have received aromatherapy with ginger root oil
(Florida Entomologist 90(1), 175-179, March 2007, 2007-03)
The results of previous studies that showed that exposing mass-reared male Mediterranean
fruit flies
Ceratitis capitata
(Wiedemann) to ginger root oil (“aromatherapy”) increases the
likelihood of mating with wild females ...
Nephila clavipes spiders (Araneae: Nephilidae) keep track of captured prey counts: testing for a sense of numerosity in an orb-weaver
(Animal Cognition DOI 10.1007/s10071-014-0801-9, 2014-08-28)
Nephila clavipes golden orb-web spiders accumulate prey larders on their webs and search for them if they are removed from their web. Spiders that lose larger larders (i.e., spiders that lose larders consisting of more ...
Sounds in Melipona costaricensis (Apidae: Meliponini): effect of sugar concentration and nectar source distance
(Apidologie 33 (2002) 375–388, 2002)
The principal finding presented here is that Melipona costaricensis produces sounds that vary significantly
in relation to varying sugar concentrations. Several components of the sounds produced, during the
bees’stay ...
Variation in the intermittent buzzing songs of male medflies (diptera: tephritidae) associated with geography, mass-rearing, and courtship success
(Florida Entomologist 85(1) March 2002, 2002-03)
Varios aspectos de los patrones temporales de los sonidos del zumbido intermitente producido durante el cortejo pre-copulatório de los machos de la mosca del Mediterráneo variaron entre moscas silvestres de Costa Rica, ...
Substrate vibrations in the scorpion Centruroides margaritatus (Scorpiones: Buthidae) during courtship
(Rev. Biol. Trop. (Int. J. Trop. Biol. ISSN-0034-7744) Vol. 57 (Suppl. 1): 267-274, November 2009, 2009-11)
Mating behavior in Centruroides margaritatus, as in other scorpion species, includes a series of rapid
rocking or shaking movements of the male (“juddering”). It has been suggested that substrate vibrations are
generated ...
Decisions during courtship by male and female medflies (Diptera, Tephritidae): Correlated changes in male behavior and female acceptance criteria in mass-reared flies
(Florida Entomologist 85(1):14-31. 2002, 2002-12)
Análisis de más de 300 cortejos video-grabados de moscas del Mediterráneo silvestres y criadas en masas de Costa Rica demostraron que la tendencia de los machos y las hembras de alinearse cara a cara el uno frente al otro ...
Copulatory behaviour and the process of intromission in Anastrepha ludens (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(Rev. Biol. Trop. 59 (1): 291-297. Epub 2011 March 01., 2011-03)
Complex genitalia occur in many arthropods and in some species extreme female morphologies lead
to serious mechanical difficulties for males. Tephritid flies offer examples of such complex genitalia. Because
of their ...
Courtship behavior of different wild strains of Ceratitis Capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(Florida Entomologist 90(1) March 2007, 2007-03)
Este estudio documenta diferencias en el comportamiento de cortejo de cepas silvestres de
Ceratitis capitata
(Wied.) provenientes de Madeira (Portugal), Hawaii (Estados Unidos de
