Polymorphism resulting from the mating advantage of rare male genotypes.
An algebraic model is presented for selection by the mating advantage of rare genotypes. In accordance with the results of recent experiments, the selective advantage is formulated as inversely proportional to genotype frequency. The model applies to any number of alleles at an autosomal locus or at a sex-linked locus, and it provides for a different intensity of selection for each genotype in ...
متن کاملA Test for Rare Male Mating Advantage with DROSOPHILA PSEUDOOBSCURA Karyotypes.
Recent work has called into question the reality of the rare male mating advantage, pointing out that it could be a statistical artifact of marking flies for behavioral observation or of experimental bias in collecting males. We designed an experiment to test for rare male mating advantage that avoids these sources of bias. Large numbers of males of three Drosophila pseudoobscura karyotypes wer...
متن کاملThe mating advantage of rare males in Drosophila.
The mating advantage of rare Drosophila males in tested using two eye color mutants. In one experiment, the flies remained for three hours in observation chambers containing 25 pairs; in another experiment they stayed for 24 hours in mass cultures of 200 individuals. The outcome of this latter experiment was followed for ten generations, with all competition other than that for mates eliminated...
متن کاملFrequency-dependent selection: Minority male mating advantage in Drosophila
In frequency-dependent selection the fitness of a given genotype depends on its frequency. Frequency dependence may be positive or negative. In the positive case any rare variant is at a disadvantage, whereas rare forms are favoured in the negative case. One of the best-studied examples of frequency-dependent selection is the rare male mating advantage or minority male mating advantage (negativ...
متن کاملTransgenic male mating advantage provides opportunity for Trojan gene effect in a fish.
Genetically modified (GM) strains now exist for many organisms, producing significant promise for agricultural production. However, if these organisms have some fitness advantage, they may also pose an environmental harm when released. High mating success of GM males relative to WT males provides such an important fitness advantage. Here, we provide documentation that GM male medaka fish modifi...
