Abstract
Multiple insemination was detected under laboratory conditions in 38 of 399 females of Anopheles culicifacies Giles using a sex‐linked, recessive eye‐color marker system. Multiple mating occurred less frequently at low pair density and was not detected in a large cage. Remating after a 24‐hr delay was detected in 5 of 131 families. The high incidence of multiple mating was attributed to interrupted copulations resulting in the transference of inadequate quantities of male accessory gland substance and/or by remating before insemination barriers were established after the initial insemination.RÉSUMÉ: ANOPHELES CULICIFACIES GILES: LA PRESENCE D'INSEMINATIONS MULTIPLES DANS LES CONDITIONS DE LABORATOIRELes inséminations multiples ont été mises en évidence dans les conditions de laboratoire chez 38 sur 399 femelles d'Anopheles culicifacies en utilisant un marqueur récessif colorant l'œil, lié au sexe. Les copulations répétées sont moins fréquentes aux faibles densités et n'ont pas été observées dans de grandes cages. La recopulation après un délai de 24 h a été observée dans 5 families sur 131. La haute fréquence de copulations multiples est envisagée comme conséquence de copulations interrompues, empéchant le transfert de quantités adéquates de sécrétions des glandes accessoires mâles et/ou par la recopulation avant que les barrières de non réceptivité aient été établies par l'insémination initiale.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
