Identification of Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) Sperm From Females in Traps: The Importance of the Ventral Receptacle.

TL;DR: It is proposed that if no sperm are found in the spermathecae, program managers should revise the ventral receptacle before assuming that females are not mated, and this test may be relevant to other pest tephritids that store even more sperm in the ventrals receptacle than C. capitata.

Sperm Depletion in Singly Mated Females of the Mexican Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)1

TL;DR: Sperm depletion and egg fertility in singly mated females with continuous access to oviposition substrates are measured by using a squash technique and mirrored previous measurements of egg fertility, which declines at 26–40 d postcopulation.
