Zusammenfassung

Bei der Kopulation der GrillePlebeiogryllus guttiventris werden mindestens 2 unabhängige Stimuli wirksam, welche Oviposition und Eiproduktion beeinflussen. Weder künstliche Spermatophorenübertragung noch Kopulation mit kastrierten Männchen stimuliert die Oviposition; letztere bewirkt aber erhöhte Eiproduktion. Künstliche Übertragung von Spermatophoren in hungernde, virgine Weibchen reduziert die Eiproduktion und bewirkt eine Lebensverlängerung.
