Mating status affects females feeding behavior but does not the encapsulation response in the field cricket, Gryllus (Gryllus) assimilis (Fabricius, 1775)
Abstract:Mating can trigger different effects on the physiology and behavior of animals, especially in females. These effects can be either beneficial, such as boosting the immune response, or harmful, such as decreasing survival, for example. Cricket females are among the most used models for understanding these life history trade-offs. We recently demonstrated that mated females have a slight cost of reproduction in survival that could be explained if they differed in resource consumption compared to unmated, being a… Show more
