Our results indicate that within 8-m3 arenas, large and small moths do not show assortative mating or preference for one size class over another. Within the same arenas, nonrandom mating did occur based on mating history coupled with age. Biologically, the most significant effect is that old, sexually experienced moths are less likely to mate than young, virgin moths. This difference in mating propensity is expected to increase the extent of nonrandom mating among early and late emerging moths in the same location. These results are discussed as they relate to Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner resistance management. © 1996 Entomological Society of America Population Ecology nationallicence Heliothis virescens nationallicence mating preference nationallicence resistance management nationallicence age nationallicence size nationallicence Klepetka Brad Department of Entomology, Box 7634, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7634 aut Gould Fred Department of Entomology, Box 7634, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7634 aut Environmental Entomology Oxford University Press 25/5(1996-10-01), 993-1001 0046-225X 25:5<993 1996 25 ee https://doi.org/10.1093/ee/25.5.993 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/ee/25.5.993 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Klepetka Brad Department of Entomology, Box 7634, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7634 aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Gould Fred Department of Entomology, Box 7634, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7634 aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Environmental Entomology Oxford University Press 25/5(1996-10-01), 993-1001 0046-225X 25:5<993 1996 25 ee Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
