Observations of female and mixed sex swarming behaviour in Culicoides Latreille, 1809 (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae)
Abstract Female swarming behaviour has rarely been described in Culicoides. Previous records of female swarms have only been described for females swarming in mixed swarms together with males. Two new observations of Culicoides swarms in Sweden are described here: a mixed swarm with females of Culicoides obsoletus / gornostaevae and males of C. gornostaevae, and a purely female swarm of C. impunctatus. Swarming behaviour can facilitate predator confusion. Swarming behaviour is therefore an evolutionary advantage that can explain mixed species swarms and purely female swarms.
期刊介绍:
The Polish Journal of Entomology was founded in 1922 as a periodical of the Polish Entomological Society under the title Polskie Pismo Entomologiczne (subtitle Bulletin Entomologique de Pologne). The journal publishes original research papers and reviews from any entomological discipline. The Polish Journal of Entomology is sponsored by the Polish Entomological Society and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. It deals with all aspects of entomology and has no geographical limits. Four issues of the journal are published annually. It is covered by the Zoological Record, Entomological Abstracts, Biological Abstracts. Each article has its own DOI
