Multiple mating in female mosquitoes—evidence from a field population of Anopheles freeborni (Diptera: Culicidae)

1994-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Abstract We determined how frequently multiple mating occurs in a field population of Anopheles freeborni Aitken. We used enzyme electrophoresis to analyse field collected females and their offspring, and determined the parity rates of females mating in swarms. The genotypes of progeny in one of the 36 families examined showed conclusive evidence of two sires. 4·3% (n═93) of females mating in swarms were parous, a...
