Selection on morphological traits and fluctuating asymmetry by a fungal 2 parasite in the yellow dung fly
11 Evidence for selective disadvantages of large body size remains scarce in general. Previous 12 phenomenological studies of the yellow dung fly Scathophaga stercoraria have demonstrated 13 strong positive sexual and fecundity selection on male and female size. Nevertheless, the body 14 size of flies from a Swiss study population has declined by almost 10% from 1993 to 2009. 15 Given substanti...
متن کاملStudy on sexual reproduction and some morphological and pathological traits of Ophiognomonia leptostyla in Iran
Walnut anthracnose caused by Ophiognomonia leptostyla is the most important and prevalent fungal disease in most walnut growing areas in Iran. Seventy-five isolates of Ophiognomonia leptostyla, causing walnut anthracnose, were obtained from Juglans regia from various regions of Iran. In order to study the sexual reproduction of the fungus, the isolates collected from various parts of Iran were ...
متن کاملEffect of biochar on some morphological and physiological traits in Medicago sativa and Bromus tomentellus
Biochar is a carbon rich product which created under low Oxygen conditions. In this study the effect of Biochar in three levels 0, 0.5 and 1 weight percentage on morphological traits like height, SLA, aboveground and underground biomass, length and volume of root and physiological characteristics such as chlorophylls, gas exchange and electrolyte leakage for two Bromus tomentellus and Medicago ...
متن کاملFluctuating asymmetry and body weight in men and women: Implications for sexual selection
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), small random fluctuations from perfect bilateral symmetry, is an indicator of developmental stability and therefore of good genes. Sexually selected weapons, such as the canine teeth of some primates, often show a negative relationship between FA and size of weapon. This suggests that it is only the males with the best genes who are able to produce large symmetrical ...
متن کاملuathg asymmetry and sexual selection
I nterest in fluctuating asymmetry, FA (Box l), has recently spread across diverse disciplines in the life sciences, including medicine, genetics, conservation and developmental biology, and behavioral ecologysl. FA allows researchers to evaluate a basic aspect of viability fitness, namely, developmental stability the capacity to develop properly in the face of genetic and environmental stresse...
