In mealybugs, the second largest family of scale insects, the existence of female multiple mating was recently suggested. In this study, we aimed at testing how general is this behavior in mealybugs, by investigating polygyny and polyandry in two cosmopolitan pest mealybugs,<jats:italic>Planococcus citri<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>Pseudococcus calceolariae<\/jats:italic>. Males of these species were able to mate an average of 11.9 and 13.3 females, respectively, during their lifespan. The number of fertilized females per male decreased with male age\/mating history for both mealybugs. We found no differences in female fecundity and fertility, when fertilized by males with different mating history. When we used male age as a proxy of mating history, we observed a significant negative effect on female fecundity. The females of both species remained receptive after first copula and eventually mated multiple times. The percentage of remated females of<jats:italic>P. citri<\/jats:italic>decreased linearly with time since first copula, with some maintaining receptivity up to 24 h. Males showed no preference between virgin and mated females, in static-air olfactometer tests. We found no benefit of female multiple mating in relation to fecundity. In biparental mealybugs, the mating system of males is possibly scramble competition polygyny; and that of females is possibly polyandry, with female receptivity restricted to a relatively short period. We discuss the practical implications of the results for pest management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007485318000810","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,31]],"date-time":"2018-10-31T11:11:15Z","timestamp":1540984275000},"page":"574-582","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Biparental mealybugs may be more promiscuous than we thought"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"109","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7000-3536","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"E.B.","family":"Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0431-9142","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C.","family":"Mourato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8140-1257","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.","family":"Branco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Z.","family":"Mendel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0898-3510","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.C.","family":"Franco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref39","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0261-2194(00)00090-9"},{"volume-title":"The Evolution of Insect Mating Systems","year":"2001","key":"S0007485318000810_ref40"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tetlet.2009.12.106"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref37","first-page":"3","volume":"4","year":"2009","journal-title":"IOBC WRPS Bulletin"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref7","first-page":"385","volume":"58","year":"1974","journal-title":"Bulletin of Entomological Society of Egypt"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref36","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/eea.12487"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0020-7322(83)90020-X"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref35","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0068241"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref5","first-page":"1","volume":"14","year":"2014","journal-title":"Journal of Insect Science"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref34","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-3472(92)90025-5"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.en.41.010196.001235"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref33","first-page":"211","volume":"1","year":"1969","journal-title":"Annales de Zooogie et Ecologie Animale"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0040-4039(81)80107-4"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref32","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ee\/24.3.506"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/anbe.2000.1446"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref31","first-page":"479","volume":"183","year":"1959","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0310.2006.01211.x"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-1910(99)00083-9"},{"first-page":"11","volume-title":"Semiochemicals in Pest and Weed Control","year":"2005","key":"S0007485318000810_ref29"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0007485311000605"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12041-012-0127-9"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-3472(89)80029-6"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinsphys.2006.11.005"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00114-014-1206-y"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref23","first-page":"1","volume":"6","year":"2017","journal-title":"Bulletin of Entomological Research"},{"key":"S0007485318000810_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00265-005-0142-4"},{"first-page":"25","volume-title":"Behavior-modifying Chemicals for Insect Management.
