Alternative phenotypes of male mating behaviour in the two-spotted spider mite.

Experimental & applied acarology - 1 Sept 2013

Sato Yukie, Sabelis Maurice W, Egas Martijn, Faraji Farid

Abstract excerpt

Severe intraspecific competition for mates selects for aggressive individuals but may also lead to the evolution of alternative phenotypes that do not act aggressively, yet manage to acquire matings. The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, shows male mate-guarding behaviour and male-male combat for available females. This may provide opportunity for weaker males to avoid fighting by adopting alternative...
