متن کاملMale dominance determines female egg laying rate in crickets.
A key prediction of theories of differential allocation and sexual conflict is that male phenotype will affect resource allocation by females. Females may adaptively increase investment in offspring when mated to high quality males to enhance the quality of their offspring, or males may vary in their ability to manipulate female investment post-mating. Males are known to be able to influence fe...
متن کاملEgg-laying.
C. elegans hermaphrodites are self-fertile, and their rate and temporal pattern of egg-laying are modulated by diverse environmental cues. Egg-laying behavior has served as an important phenotypic assay for the genetic dissection of neuronal signal transduction mechanisms. This chapter reviews our current understanding of the neuronal and neurochemical mechanisms underlying the control of egg-l...
متن کاملTheoretical and experimental evidence indicates that there is no detectable auxin gradient in the angiosperm female gametophyte.
The plant life cycle alternates between a diploid sporophytic and a haploid gametophytic generation. The female gametophyte (FG) of flowering plants is typically formed through three syncytial mitoses, followed by cellularisation that forms seven cells belonging to four cell types. The specification of cell fates in the FG has been suggested to depend on positional information provided by an in...
متن کاملDo males offset the cost of female aggression? An experimental test in a biparental songbird
Aggressive behavior in females is thought to be costly due to a trade-off between aggression and parental care. In biparental systems, resolution of this trade-off may depend on the extent to which males mitigate the cost of female aggression. Using a population of tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) in which intrasexual aggression has been shown to be beneficial to females in acquiring a nesti...
