متن کاملReproductive Strategies of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) and Implications for the Sterile Insect Technique
Male insects are expected to optimize their reproductive strategy according to the availability of sperm or other ejaculatory materials, and to the availability and reproductive status of females. Here, we investigated the reproductive strategy and sperm management of male and virgin female Aedes albopictus, a mosquito vector of chikungunya and dengue viruses. The dynamics of semen transfer to ...
