“…In the present study, females mated at older ages lived longer compared to females mated earlier; similar results have been recorded in Phenacoccus solenopsis and other species [ 2 ]. Increased longevity in delayed-mating females is considered to come from the lesser energy utilization associated with reproduction, and from the reabsorption of food nutrients from exiting ova [ 11 , 30 ].…”

“…Another possible explanation is that delayed mating could decrease the number of spermatophores transferred by males, and thus decrease egg production [ 13 ]. A similar negative relationship between male delay in mating and fecundity has been reported in P. xylostella and P. solenopsis [ 1 , 2 ].…”

“…Delayed mating is defined as a condition in which female and/or male mating happens at later stages of life, and it is widespread in nature [ 1 , 2 ]. In insects, delayed mating can be caused by biological and environmental factors, such as mating disruption, trapping, rainfall, unsuitable temperature, and wind.…”

Age at mating is one of the most important factors that affect mating selection, sexual performance, and fecundity. We studied the effects of mating age on the mating performance and reproductive fitness of Plagiodera versicolora Laicharting, a serious pest of poplar and willow, by measuring the time from pairing to successful mating, mating duration, fecundity, hatching probability, and female lifespan. Delayed mating of females and males significantly prolonged the time from pairing to successful mating and the mating duration, but had no effect on the duration of the egg-laying period. Delayed mating of females did not significantly affect fecundity or egg hatching, but significantly prolonged the female lifespan. Although delayed mating of males had a significant negative impact on egg hatching, it had no effect on the lifespan or fecundity of females. These results indicate that delayed mating affects the mating performance of P. versicolora, although it has a limited effect on reproductive fitness. This suggests that delayed mating is unlikely to contribute to the success of mating disruption, when applied to control P. versicolora.

“…This in turn reduced the oviposition period and fecundity of P. solenopsis under laboratory conditions. 216 The sterile insect technique (SIT) and ionizing radiation techniques have been documented in P. solenopsis under laboratory conditions. Ionizing radiation inhibits P. solenopsis nymph metamorphosis, shortening developmental duration, and reducing oviposition duration and fecundity.…”

The cotton mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), is a highly invasive and harmful pest. It causes considerable loss of cotton crops in China, India and Pakistan. Little is known about its bionomics since it was first recorded in Pakistan and India in 2005. Rapid spread of this pest worldwide has accelerated research on its biology, ecology and management. The P. solenopsis has a short life cycle, and optimal temperatures lead to an increase in the number of generations per year, which is a serious threat to cotton crop production. Cotton mealybug is native to the USA, although it has now spread to >43 countries. Insecticidal control is the primary and dominant practice for this pest, and its resistance to commonly used insecticides is increasing. Biocontrol agents have strong potential for the management of nymphal instar stages. We read >250 articles related to our review title and finally reviewed recent advances in the understanding of P. solenopsis biology, ecology and control approaches, aiming to highlight integrated and biological management practices of this pest.

“…The competition from OSR may result in creating a delay in the time in which moths mate (Adler and Bonduriansky, 2011). Delayed mating is defined as a condition in which male and/or female mating happens at later stages of life (Waqas et al ., 2020). The age of mating is usually related to time when the insect reaches sexual maturity, which varies among species, and reductions in fecundity and egg viability, presumably because of physiological changes associated with age (Jiménez-Pérez and Wang, 2003; Stelinski and Gut, 2009; Mori and Evenden, 2013; Kawazu et al ., 2014), especially in moths (Zhang et al ., 2016).…”

The short-lived polygamous moth Grapholita molesta (Busck) is an important fruit pest worldwide. Trapping males by synthetic female sex pheromones is not an effective reproductive control strategy. It is important to improve this technology by understanding the mating system of G. molesta. This study investigated mating opportunities and fertile egg production by altering the operational sex ratio, mating age, and male mating history in repeated single mating and multiple mating in the two sexes. Our results showed that the mating and reproductive parameters of virgin males were affected by the number and age of virgin females. Males preferred a female number ≤three-fifths of the male number or ≤2-day-old females, while they discriminated against a female number ≥three times of the male number or ≥5-day-old females. On the other hand, the mating and reproductive parameters of virgin females were affected by repeated single mating and especially multiple mating under different male mating histories. Females preferred once-mated males and discriminated against virgin males. These results indicated that mating systems including more and older virgin females for virgin males and different virgin males for virgin females may be suitable for suppressing G. molesta populations. Hence, these results revealed that preventing mating of virgin adults by synthetic female sex pheromones should be most effective in controlling G. molesta.
