Reproductive Behaviour Evolves Rapidly When Intralocus Sexual Conflict Is Removed
BACKGROUND Intralocus sexual conflict can inhibit the evolution of each sex towards its own fitness optimum. In a previous study, we confirmed this prediction through the experimental removal of female selection pressures in Drosophila melanogaster, achieved by limiting the expression of all major chromosomes to males. Compared to the control populations (C(1-4)) where the genomes are exposed t...
متن کاملResolving the Integrity/Performance Conflict
Future applications will require integrity of complex, persistent data in the face of hardware and program failures. Thor [6], a new object-oriented database, offers a computational model that ensures data integrity in a distributed system without sacrificing expressiveness or performance. Perhaps surprisingly, compiler technology is important to making this work well. 1 Traditional Approaches ...
متن کاملEvolution of the Vertebrate Paralemmin Gene Family: Ancient Origin of Gene Duplicates Suggests Distinct Functions
Paralemmin-1 is a protein implicated in plasma membrane dynamics, the development of filopodia, neurites and dendritic spines, as well as the invasiveness and metastatic potential of cancer cells. However, little is known about its mode of action, or about the biological functions of the other paralemmin isoforms: paralemmin-2, paralemmin-3 and palmdelphin. We describe here evolutionary analyse...
متن کاملSexual conflict
Sexual conflict occurs when the genetic interests of males and females diverge. Recent evidence supporting the view that male and female genomes are in conflict has now revolutionized the way in which we interpret interactions between the sexes, and suggests that sexual conflict is a potent force in male–female coevolution. Here, we consider the nature of sexual conflict and what distinguishes ...
متن کاملSexual conflict
What determines male mating rate? New research is highlighting the potential importance of variation in reproductive organ size in determining the limits of male mating frequency and reproductive success. The accessory glands provide the material required to synthesise the spermatophore in which the sperm, produced by the testes, are packaged. Male mating rate is both phenotypically and genetic...
