| Abstract | The mosquitoes Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae) are ecologically similar species that have evolved independently in their native ranges, Ae. aegypti in Africa and Ae. albopictus in Asia. Where their invasive ranges overlap, interspecific mating is facilitated by both species swarming to mate around bloodmeal hosts during daylight. Here, we test hypotheses to account for variation in spermathecal filling in females of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus, particularly, the effect of mosquito size on the number of spermathecae containing sperm after intraspecific and interspecifc matings of these two species. Results show that significantly more spermathecae contained sperm in large than in small Ae. albopictus females, but there was no effect of Ae. aegypti female body size on the average number of spermathecae filled. Among inseminated females, there was no effect of male size or cross-type on number of spermathecae with sperm. Differences in the effect of female size on the number of spermathecae that store sperm in Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus imply differences in the mating biology of these two species. | pt_BR |
