Abstract: In this study, we use a metaanalysis approach to clarify female fitness parameters (fecundity, fertility and longevity) from 29 experimental studies conducted on 27 moth species, examining how male mating history affects different components of female fitness and to determine whether the effect of male mating history is influenced by both moth family and female mating strategy. Our results clearly show that male mating history has significant negative effects on male spermatophore size or sperm numbers and female fitness consequences. These negative effects are strongly influenced by both moth family and mating strategy. Mating with experienced males significantly reduces female fecundity in Plutellidae, Crambidae, Pyralidae, Lyonetiidae, Psychidae, but not in Tortricidae, Noctuidae, while female fertility significantly decreases in Lyonetii
dae, Psychidae, Tortricidae, Noctuidae, but not in Plutellidae, Crambidae, Pyralidae. Female longevity significantly decreases in Plutellidae, Crambidae, but increases in Tortricidae, Noctuidae when mated with experienced partners. Although male mating history has significant negative effects on female fecundity and fertility in monandrous and polyandrous moth species, mating with experienced males significantly reduces longevity in monandrous females but increases longevity in polyandrous females. Our results strongly support that male mating history is one of the crucial factors influencing female fitness consequences in moth species.
