Sexual conflict and the evolutionary ecology of mating patterns: water striders as a model system.
Two core ideas in the study of mating systems and sexual selection are (1) the existence of a conflict between the sexes over mating decisions, and (2) that variation in ecological conditions drives the evolution of adaptive mating strategies and the diversification of mating systems. A recent burst of experimental studies of mating behavior and sexual selection in water striders has focused on...
متن کاملAlternative mating strategies in Atlantic salmon and brown trout.
By screening variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) loci, multiple paternity within clutches has been found in wild populations of southern European Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown trout (Salmo trutta). For Atlantic salmon, we determined the relative contribution of alternative male phenotypes to the next generation. Individual males that are morphologically juvenile yet sexually matur...
متن کاملImmunoecology of species with alternative mating tactics and strategies
Alternative reproductive tactics and strategies (ARTS) refer to polymorphic reproductive behaviours in which in addition to the usual two sexes, there are one or more alternative morphs, usually male, that have evolved the ability to circumvent direct intra-sexual competition. These additional morphs have unique morphological, ecological, developmental, behavioural, life-history, and physiologi...
متن کاملAlternative mating strategies in the digger wasp Philanthus zebratus Cresson.
Males of at least six species of the digger wasp genus Philanthus are territorial, defending areas on the ground and evidently marking these with a pheromone. This is also true of P. zebratus at two widely separate localities in Colorado. However, males in an aggregation in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, are nonterritorial and participate in flights serving to intercept females leaving and entering the...
متن کاملResource acquisition, allocation, and utilization in parasitoid reproductive strategies.
Parasitoids display remarkable inter- and intraspecific variation in their reproductive and associated traits. Adaptive explanations have been proposed for many of the between-trait relationships. We present an overview of the current knowledge of parasitoid reproductive biology, focusing on egg production strategies in females, by placing parasitoid reproduction within physiological and ecolog...
