Ecological effects and management of invasive alien Vespidae (2011, background): “…a decrease in the fitness of individuals at low density, have the potential to reduce the probability of establishment and maintenance of populations of alien species, although empirical evidence for such effects are relatively scarce (Gregory et al. 2010; Kramer et al. 2009; Rhainds 2010).”
Multiple mating by females is a natural outcome of a null model of mate encounters (2013, background): “Fecundity or mortality costs (or direct benefits) of multiple mating, or the fitness consequences of female choice, are much more popular study topics than the risk of never mating (but see de Jong & Sabelis, 1991; Bode & Marshall, 2007; Calabrese et al., 2008; Rhainds, 2010; Elzinga et al., 2011).”
Female mating failure and the failure of ‘mating’ in sterile insect programs (2013, background): “Thus, high rates of mating failure may be evident in females that have long periods of pre-reproductive maturation (Rhainds, 2010).”
