Evolution der Paarungssysteme der Panorpoidea (= Panorpodidae + Panorpidae = Skorpionsfliegen s. l.: Mecoptera)

Subject Area Sensory and Behavioural Biology
Term from 2002 to 2010
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 5392912
 
Final Report Year 2010

Final Report Abstract

Unsere Untersuchungen haben klar gezeigt, dass das Paarungssystem der Panorpen keine Ressourcen-Verteidigungsstrategie ist, wie in den prominenten Lehrbüchern der Verhaltensökologie zu lesen. Die wesentlichen Merkmale dieses Paarungssystems müssen in der Stammeslinie der Panorpidae entstanden sein. Das Paarungssystem der Panorpidae ist grundsätzlich verschieden von dem der Panorpodidae.
