In many species of cicadas the peak of eclosion of males precedes that of females. In this paper, we construct a stochastic model and consider whether this sexual difference of eclosion periods works against mating or not. We also discuss the relation between the peak period of copulations and the development of population number by using this model.
在许多蝉的物种中,雄性的羽化高峰期先于雌性。在本文中,我们构建了一个随机模型,并考虑这种羽化期的性别差异是否对交配不利。我们还通过使用这个模型来讨论交配高峰期与种群数量发展之间的关系。
