Reproductive interference, reproductive interactions between heterospecific individuals including mating, is commonly reported across taxa, but its drivers are still unclear. Studying interspecific matings in the context of their conspecific mating system—by relating an individual's conspecific mating behaviour to its heterospecific interactions—offers a powerful approach to address this uncertainty. Here, we compare inter‐ and intraspecific mating dynamics in the squash bugAnasa tristisand its close relativeAnasa andresiiunder semi‐natural conditions. Using replicated enclosures, we surveyed the mating behaviour of individually markedA.tristisandA.andresii(five males and five females of each species per trial) at hourly intervals using a robotic camera system over a 14‐day period. We uncovered high levels of reproductive interference (19% of individuals engaged in interspecific matings), but the majority of mating activity took place between conspecifics.A.tristisfemales which engaged in interspecific matings had comparable hatching success with those which did not. Therefore, in this system, relatively high levels of reproductive interference may emerge under semi‐natural conditions as a by‐product of limited intraspecific pre‐copulatory choice paired with limited fitness penalties for at least one of the species involved.AbstractReproductive interference (RI), costly reproductive interactions between individuals of different species, is a common yet little understood behaviour. In this study, we compare inter‐ and intraspecific mating dynamics in the squash bugAnasa trististo better understand drivers of interspecific mating interactions. We uncovered high levels of reproductive interference (19% of individuals engaged in interspecific matings), but the majority of mating activity took place between conspecifics. FemaleAnasa tristiswere also highly polyandrous, and we found those which engaged in occasional interspecific matings had comparable hatching success to those which did not. In this system, at least, relatively high levels of reproductive interference likely emerged as a by‐product of relaxed intraspecific pre‐copulatory choice, paired with limited fitness penalties in our focal species.
