Frequency distribution of mating success of individual males under the low density was clumpy, but that of males under the high density was random. This difference seemed to result from disturbance among individuals under high density, where males could not make their territories. As mating frequency of females showed random or repulsed distributions in the 2 densities, all females seemed to mate at similar frequencies. Adult size was not related to mating success in either sex under the 2 densities. The characteristics of mating success in mass-reared melon flies for sterile insect techniques were considered to be related to extremely high adult rearing density. © 1996 Entomological Society of America Behavior nationallicence Bactrocera cucurbitae nationallicence mating success nationallicence density nationallicence lek nationallicence sterile insect technique nationallicence Miyatake Takahisa Okinawa Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station, 4-222 Sakiyama-cho, Naha, Okinawa 903, Japan. aut Haraguchi Dai Okinawa Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station, 4-222 Sakiyama-cho, Naha, Okinawa 903, Japan. aut Annals of the Entomological Society of America Oxford University Press 89/2(1996-03-01), 284-289 0013-8746 89:2<284 1996 89 aesa https://doi.org/10.1093/aesa/89.2.284 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/aesa/89.2.284 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Miyatake Takahisa Okinawa Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station, 4-222 Sakiyama-cho, Naha, Okinawa 903, Japan aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Haraguchi Dai Okinawa Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station, 4-222 Sakiyama-cho, Naha, Okinawa 903, Japan aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Annals of the Entomological Society of America Oxford University Press 89/2(1996-03-01), 284-289 0013-8746 89:2<284 1996 89 aesa Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
