当同种雄性白蚁不存在时，雌性白蚁更喜欢杂交交配而不是孤雌生殖

孤雌生殖和种间交配是物种在有性生殖受到自然环境阻碍时进化出的替代生殖策略。本研究主要探讨了雌性白蚁在没有同种雄性白蚁的情况下的生殖行为。结果表明，与Ra♀-Ra♀串联相比，Ra♀-Rf♂串联更为普遍和稳定。当串联不慎破裂时，雌性 R. aculabialis 在等待雄性 R. flaviceps 时表现出较长的停顿，但当另一只雌性 R. aculabialis 参与时，停顿时间较短。此外，雌性R. aculabialis与雄性R. flaviceps之间存在交配行为，导致成对的Ra♀-Rf♂群落中产生的后代是雌性R. aculabialis与雄性R. flaviceps之间的杂交。

期刊介绍： Ecological Entomology publishes top-quality original research on the ecology of insects and related invertebrate taxa. Our aim is to publish papers that will be of considerable interest to the wide community of ecologists who are motivated by ecological or evolutionary theory. The suitability of a manuscript will usually be assessed within 5 days. We publish full-length Original Articles as well as Reviews, Short Communications, Methods and Natural History papers. In Original Articles, we greatly prefer papers that test specific hypotheses and which have a high degree of novelty. All categories aim for innovative contributions that advance the subject of ecological entomology.
