[QUOTE="Kris Anderson, post: 308904, member: 9682"] Thanks for the information, Mark. Yes, there does seem to be some sort of perceptual nexus in regard to mate finding/selection. Pheromone signatures are certainly at play for long-distance location but visual ques seemingly take over once a potential pair are within reasonable distance of each other. And, of course, some species use tactical responses or minute displays of some sort. I think that these systems have worked themselves out quite well over the hundreds of millions of years but once humans start meddling with distribution ranges, mate selection for introduced species gets confused. The natural ranges for both[I] Mantis religiosa[/I] (European) and [I]Tenodera sinensis[/I] (eastern Palearctic/Indomalaysian) do not overlap... but now both species are found here mingling among the likes of endemic [I]Stagmomantis[/I] and others. It will be interesting to see how this all turns out and what impact these introduced species have upon the native populations of mantises in the long-term. We have already seen replacement of several [I]Stagmomantis[/I] species from their native ranges in the likes of Utah. Kris [/QUOTE]
