Abstract After mating, some insects drastically reduce mating activity, termed post-mating refractoriness, due to physiological restrictions. Male crickets, Gryllus bimaculatus, characteristically exhibit a 1-hour post-mating refractory stage, which is controlled by terminal abdominal ganglion. The...
