1. Reproductive biology of the cockfish, Callorhinchus callorynchus (Chondrichthyes: Callorhinchidae), in coastal waters of the northern Argentinean Sea
ABSTRACT The cockfish, Callorhinchus callorynchus, is a widely distributed holocephalan in the south-western Atlantic and an important resource for Argentinean fisheries. The reproductive characteristics of this species were studied in northern Argentinean coastal waters, where specimens arrive seasonally (winter-spring). Sexual dimorphism in maximum precaud

2. Estrutura e funcionamento dos espermatóforos de Doryteuthis plei (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) e reavaliação da reação espermatofórica dos cefalópodes / Spermatophore structure and functioning in Doryteuthis plei (Mollusca: Cephalopoda), and a reappraisal of the cephalopod spermatophoric reaction
Male coleoid cephalopods produce elaborate spermatophores, which are transferred to the female during mating. These spermatophores are capable of functioning autonomously and extracorporeally, undergoing complicated changes during the so-called spermatophoric reaction, i.e., a complex process of evagination of the spermatophoric tunics and membranes that, ul

3. Frequency of spermatophore production and regeneration in the males of Tityus (Atreus) magnimanus Pocock, 1897 (Scorpiones, Buthidae)
The frequency of spermatophore production and the amount of time between matings for laboratory-reared males of Tityus (Atreus) magnimanus to regenerate spermatophores were examined. Males attain sexual maturity at the fifth or sixth instar (after a period of 137 to 155 days) and can produce initial spermatophores shortly after maturation. After mating, male

4. Estretégias de acasalamento e qualidade do espermatóforo em heliconius (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae)
Butterflies are insects known, in a variety of environments and for easy visual identification. The adult form may be frequently found in flowers looking for nectar. However, for many species of Heliconius (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) to visit the flower also represents the collecting of pollen, an important source of protein for adults. The protein obtained f

5. Morphology of the reproductive system of male thorny lobster Panulirus argus (Latreille, 1804) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Palinuridae) of coastline of the State of Cearà / Morfologia do sistema reprodutor masculino da lagosta espinhosa Panulirus argus (Latreille, 1804) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Palinuridae) do Litoral do Estado do CearÃ
The fishery of the spiny lobster Panulirus argus, found in the coast of the state of CearÃ, has been declining in the last years. Studies about the reproductive aspects of lobsters are still scarce, mainly for the males, needing investigations in the area of reproductive biology. The present study describes the morphology of the male reproductive system of

6. Ablação ocular no camarão Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man) (Crustacea, Decapoda, Palaemonidae): efeitos sobre a reprodução, pigmentação epidérmica e atividade alimentar
This study analyze the consequences of unilateral and bilateral ablation based on ovigerous percentage, consecutive spawns, and secondary effects of the surgical process in the females of Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man, 1879). Two experiments were carried out with four and seven months old females in intermolt stage. Each experiment was comprised of contr

7. Spermatophore size as determinant of paternity in an arctiid moth (Utetheisa ornatrix).
Female Utetheisa ornatrix exercise postcopulatory mate selection, favoring sperm of larger males. Larger males also produce larger spermatophores, raising the question whether males are selected on the basis of body size or the size of their spermatophore. We here present evidence, based on matings in which males were induced to deliver spermatophores dispro

9. The chemistry of sexual selection.
The moth Utetheisa ornatrix (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) is protected against predation by pyrrolizidine alkaloids that it sequesters as a larva from its foodplants. At mating, the male transfers alkaloid to the female with the spermatophore, a gift that the female supplements with alkaloid of her own and transmits to the eggs. Eggs are protected as a result. Th

10. Prostaglandins: Their role in egg-laying of the cricket Teleogryllus commodus
Mating of the Teleogryllus commodus female causes increased oviposition mediated by PGE2, which is synthesized in the female's spermatheca from the precursor, arachidonic acid, in the presence of a PG-synthesizing complex. The latter, together with sperm, is transferred from the male to the female via a spermatophore. Only nanogram quantities of PGE2 injecte

11. Sodium: a male moth's gift to its offspring.
Males of the moth Gluphisia septentrionis acquire sodium by drinking from mud puddles. Analyses of male and female bodies indicate that such "puddling" behavior enables the male to provide his mate with a nuptial gift of sodium, presumably via the spermatophore. This gift (about 10 microg), amounting to more than half of a puddler male's total body sodium, i

12. Transient post-mating inhibition of behavioural and central nervous responses to sex pheromone in an insect.
Mating is costly for both male and female insects and should therefore only occur if it is likely to be successful. Within one scotophase, which is the dark period of the light cycle, male moths can only produce one single spermatophore, which is transferred to the female during mating. Remating within the same scotophase would thus be unsuccessful. We teste
