  abstract = {{S}tudies on the biology and mating behaviour of male mosquitoes are of major importance in a frame of a {S}terile {I}nsect {T}echnique which could be used against mosquito vector species. {M}ost particularly, the assumption of possible multiple inseminations in mosquito species must be investigated in order to optimize alternative mosquito control methods ({S}terile {I}nsect {T}echniques with genetically modified mosquitoes, cytoplasmic incompatibility, radiation ... ). {T}he occurrence of multiple insemination events was investigated after 2 field samplings of {A}edes albopictus ({D}iptera: {C}ulicidae) in {L}a {R}eunion {I}sland using microsatellite markers. {R}espectively, 14 and 13 females after the first and the second sampling laid eggs. {S}even wild females out of the 27 laying females were found with a progeny involving more than one father. {T}his result is important for the new alternative mosquito control methods and raises the importance of pre- and post-copulatory competition.},
