摘要
Mating behavior of the bronze birch borer, Agrilus anxius, was investigated under laboratory and outdoor conditions. Propensity to mate was greater for beetles more than 1-d-old. Duration of copulation tended to increase with increasing beetle age; 87% of mated females were inseminated and subsequently avoided sexual contact. Males mated more than once; previously mated males copulated sooner and for longer periods of time than naive males. Mating frequency did not influence female reproductive success.
