GAMMA RADIATION AND INSEMINATION IN THE CODLING MOTH, LASPEYRESIA POMONELLA (LEPIDOPTERA: OLETHREUTIDAE)1

Abstract: Irradiated (15 and 35 krad) and nonirradiated male codling moths did not differ in their ability to transfer spermatophores when caged with nonirradiated virgin females. However, irradiation significantly reduced the inseminating ability of the treated males as determined by the presence of sperm in the spermathecae of the females. The females inseminated by the irradiated males oviposited significantly fewer eggs than the females inseminated by the nonirradiated males. No differences were found in the quantit… Show more

“…The female codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), is considered to be polyandrous (e.g. Benz 1970;Deseo 1971;Gehring and Madsen 1963;Howell et al 1978;Proverbs et al 1973;Robinson 1974). However, field-collected females from some localities average only one spermatophore, indicating they had mated just once (Gehring and Madsen 1963).…”
