Mating Success of Male Medflies
Recent research has demonstrated that exposure to ginger root oil (Zingiber officinale Roscoe, which contains α-copaene) significantly increases the mating success of mass-reared, sterile males of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann). The present study had two main objectives. First, I assessed whether mass-reared males gain an advantage through exposure to natural source...
متن کاملSuccess breeds success in mating male reed frogs (Hyperolius marmoratus).
Studies of the distribution of mating success among males in frog choruses typically seek to identify specific phenotypic attributes that confer a higher mating success on certain individual males. These attributes invariably relate to competition among males: either direct competition in the form of aggression, or competition to attract and be chosen by females. In this paper, we present evide...
متن کاملHydrocarbon Contamination Decreases Mating Success in a Marine Planktonic Copepod
The mating behavior and the mating success of copepods rely on chemoreception to locate and track a sexual partner. However, the potential impact of the water-soluble fraction of hydrocarbons on these aspects of copepod reproduction has never been tested despite the widely acknowledged acute chemosensory abilities of copepods. I examined whether three concentrations of the water-soluble fractio...
متن کاملThe relationship between male sexual signals, cognitive performance, and mating success in stickleback fish
Cognitive ability varies dramatically among individuals, yet the manner in which this variation correlates with reproduction has rarely been investigated. Here, we ask (1) do male sexual signals reflect their cognitive ability, and (2) is cognitive ability associated with male mating success? Specifically, we presented threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) with a detour-reaching task...
متن کاملMale mating success and risk of predation in a wolf
0[ Traits that bene_t males through sexual selection are simultaneously expected to impair males by provoking costs through natural selection[ If we consider the two male _tness components\ mating success and viability\ then we may expect that the increase in male mating success resulting from a larger trait size will be counter! balanced by an increase in viability costs[ 1[ We studied the ben...
