Seven percent of treatment males still copulated successfully.
Nitidulidae copulated on both male and female flowers, as well as fed and oviposited on male flowers during all periods of visitation.
Mass mating was adopted in these crosses because it was highly efficient in obtaining many copulated females and there was no need to identify each female's mate.
Once paired, they nested at the base of cliffs in colonies, where they likely copulated.
In an experiment, 12 tufted (52%) and 14 gray males (54%) copulated with females after courtship.
The male then scrambled onto the female's back and copulated, which was then followed by soft clucking and occasionally more preening.
He subsequently romanced the woman, copulated with her, and eventually got the information he sought.
In a study, one male was found to have copulated with all the females in the area.
