A CALL FOR DATA ON FEMALE MATING FREQUENCY AND FECUNDITY IN INSECTS

I am currently compiling data from studies that have assessed the effects of 
female mating frequency on fecundity in insects. Ideally, these studies will 
contain one control group of females that have mated once, and one or 
several experimental groups of females that have mated more than once. 
Fecundity data should, ideally, be lifetime fecundity. However, studies with 
somewhat different designs may also be most useful (experimental designs 
tend to differ widely between studies).

If you are aware of any studies (published or unpublished) that could 
contain useful data, I would be incredibly grateful if you could email me 
the relevant references. Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Goran Arnqvist
