Survival, fecundity, and longevity (preoviposition, oviposition, and postoviposition) of mated and unmated females were measured. For both species, unmated females laid fewer eggs but lived longer than the mated ones. The differences between mated and unmated females were greater for the monophagous species M. progresivus than for the polyphagous O. gossypii. This could be explained by the reproduction cost theory and by a better adaptation of M. progresivus to its host plant. © 1996 Entomological Society of America Arthropod Biology nationallicence Mononychellus progresivus nationallicence Oligonychus gossypii nationallicence reproduction nationallicence strategy nationallicence survival nationallicence longevity nationallicence Bonato Olivier Laboratoire d'Acarologie, ORSTOM, Avenue Val de Montferrand - B.P. 5045, 34032 Montpellier Cedex 1, France. aut Gutierrez Jean Laboratoire d'Acarologie, ORSTOM, Avenue Val de Montferrand - B.P. 5045, 34032 Montpellier Cedex 1, France. aut Annals of the Entomological Society of America Oxford University Press 89/5(1996-09-01), 676-680 0013-8746 89:5<676 1996 89 aesa https://doi.org/10.1093/aesa/89.5.676 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/aesa/89.5.676 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Bonato Olivier Laboratoire d'Acarologie, ORSTOM, Avenue Val de Montferrand - B.P. 5045, 34032 Montpellier Cedex 1, France aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Gutierrez Jean Laboratoire d'Acarologie, ORSTOM, Avenue Val de Montferrand - B.P. 5045, 34032 Montpellier Cedex 1, France aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Annals of the Entomological Society of America Oxford University Press 89/5(1996-09-01), 676-680 0013-8746 89:5<676 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
