Sphragis in Parnassius mnemosyne (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae): male-derived insemination plugs loose efficiency with progress of female flight

Original language description

During a mark-recapture study of Parnassius mnemosyne butterfly, we recorded incidence of females bearing or not bearing sphragis, a waxy structure delivered by males during copulation and preventing subsequent inseminations by other males. Despite the common belief that sphragis ensures monopolisation of females, we observed that 74 out of 579 marked females did not bear sphragis at a time of capture. We also recorded five instances of sphragis loss and one female that lost and subsequently re-acquiredthe structure. A sphragis thus does not represent a reliable indicator of females? mating status in P. mnemosyne. Repeated inseminations occur in this species and might buffer some extremely small populations against loss of within-population genetic variation.
