摘要

The male mating history of Pieris rapae was manipulated to examine the effect of spermatophore size and spermatozoa numbers on male fertilization success. Overall, paternity showed either first male or, more frequently, second male spermatozoa precedence. Previously mated males had significantly higher fertilization success in competition with males mating for the first time, strongly suggesting that high spermatozoa number is advantageous in spermatozoa competition. Male size also affected paternity with relatively larger males having higher fertilization success. This may indicate that spermatophore size influences paternity, because in virgin males spermatophore size correlates with male size. The paternity of an individual male was also inversely correlated with the mass of his spermatophore remains dissected out of the female. This suggested that females may influence paternity by affecting the rate of spermatophore drainage. Although the possibility of female postcopulatory choice remains to be explored, these results clearly show that males maximize their fertilization success by increasing the number of spermatozoa in their second mating.
