日本的Calopterygid豆娘Mnais pruinosa pruinosa显示出三种不同的交配持续时间（Siva-Jothy and Tsubaki 1989）。对影响交配持续时间的各种因素进行了研究。结果表明，温度在附近的交配对，在男性遇到接受女性，领土质量，男性之间的竞争互动率，女性怀孕和女性的“意愿”产卵交配持续时间没有影响。最重要的因素是雄性捕获配偶的地点。我们认为，在自然条件下的位置的捕获网站提供了可靠的，间接的信息，男性的女性的意图产卵：这是很重要的，因为精子优先，因此，生殖成功，男性获得这样的信息，是部分依赖于所经历的女性交配和随后的产卵之间的间隔。最后对结果进行了讨论，并指出M。粉霜假单胞菌是因子性和信息依赖性的。
The Japanese calopterygid damselfly Mnais pruinosa pruinosa shows three distinct copulation durations (Siva-Jothy and Tsubaki 1989). A variety of factors which might influence copulation duration were investigated. Results indicate that the temperature in the vicinity of copulating pairs, the rate at which males encountered receptive females, territory quality, the rate of agonistic interactions between males, and female gravidity and female ''wilingness'' to oviposit have no effect on copulation duration. The most significant factor was the location of the site at which males captured their mates. We suggest that under natural conditions the location of the captures site provides males with reliable, indirect information about a female''s intention to oviposit: it is important for males of this species to acquire such information since sperm precedence, and therefore reproductive succes, is in part dependent on the interval experienced by females between copulation and subsequent oviposition. The results are discussed and it is suggested that the three observed mate-securing tactics of M. p. pruinosa are faculative and information-dependant.
