Evolution of Divergent Life History Strategies in Marine Alphaproteobacteria
UNLABELLED Marine bacteria in the Roseobacter and SAR11 lineages successfully exploit the ocean habitat, together accounting for ~40% of bacteria in surface waters, yet have divergent life histories that exemplify patch-adapted versus free-living ecological roles. Here, we use a phylogenetic birth-and-death model to understand how genome content supporting different life history strategies evol...
متن کاملEvolution of mixed reproductive strategies in simple life-history models
Frequency-dependent selection may favour the evolution of mixed reproductive strategies, resulting in polymorphic life-histories within a population. Here I explore the theoretical and ecological possibilities for evolution of mixed reproductive strategies in two minimal age-structured life-history models. The first model addresses evolution of delayed maturity (i.e., competition between annual...
متن کاملsecuritization of mortality risks in life annuities
insurers have in the past few decades faced longevity risks - the risk that annuitants survive more than expected - and therefore need a new approach to manage this new risk. in this dissertation we survey methods that hedge longevity risks. these methods use securitization to manage risk, so using modern financial and insurance pricing models, especially wang transform and actuarial concepts, ...
15 صفحه اولEvolution of reproductive isolation as a by-product of divergent life-history evolution in laboratory populations of Drosophila melanogaster
We show that two complementary asymmetric isolating mechanisms, likely mediated by divergence in body size, underlie the evolution of incipient reproductive isolation between a set of Drosophila melanogaster populations selected for rapid development and their ancestral controls. Selection has led to great reduction in body size in the fast developing lines. Small males belonging to fast develo...
متن کاملMelanin-specific life-history strategies.
The maintenance of genetic variation is a long-standing issue because the adaptive value of life-history strategies associated with each genetic variant is usually unknown. However, evidence for the coexistence of alternative evolutionary fixed strategies at the population level remains scarce. Because in the tawny owl (Strix aluco) heritable melanin-based coloration shows different physiologic...
