Polyandry and the Decrease of a Selfish Genetic Element in a Wild House Mouse Population
Despite deleterious effects on individuals, the t haplotype is a selfish genetic element present in many house mouse populations. By distorting the transmission ratio, +/t males transmit the t haplotype to up to 90% of their offspring. However, t/t individuals perish in utero. Theoretical models based on these properties predict a much higher t frequency than observed, leading to the t paradox....

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...
Sexual Selection: Selfish Genetic Element Encourages Polyandry
Selfish genetic elements are ubiquitous and may impact drastically on eukaryote reproduction and evolution. A recent experimental evolution study shows that such elements could also provide an explanation for polyandry.
متن کاملSelfish genetic elements promote polyandry in a fly.
It is unknown why females mate with multiple males when mating is frequently costly and a single copulation often provides enough sperm to fertilize all a female's eggs. One possibility is that remating increases the fitness of offspring, because fertilization success is biased toward the sperm of high-fitness males. We show that female Drosophila pseudoobscura evolved increased remating rates ...
