Molecular evidence for multiple paternity in a feral population of green swordtails.
Genetic parentage analyses provide insights into mating systems and have revealed widespread evidence for polyandry in natural populations. Here, we use 5 microsatellite markers to estimate female mating rates in a feral population of green swordtails, Xiphophorus helleri, a live-bearing poeciliid fish that has become a model system in the study of precopulatory mate choice and mating competiti...
متن کاملBear Canyon Virus: An Arenavirus Naturally Associated with the California Mouse (Peromyscus californicus)
Thirty-four rodents captured in southern California were studied to increase our knowledge of the arenaviruses indigenous to the western United States. An infectious arenavirus was isolated from 5 of 27 California mice but none of the 7 other rodents. Analyses of viral nucleocapsid protein gene sequence data indicated that the isolates from the California mice are strains of a novel Tacaribe se...
متن کاملParentage in the cooperative breeding system of long-tailed tits, Aegithalos caudatus
In cooperatively breeding birds multiple maternity and paternity of broods is not uncommon, reproduction often being shared among group members as well as with extragroup members. We investigated the extent of extrapair paternity and intraspecific brood parasitism in a population of cooperatively breeding long-tailed tits. Our aim was to determine the frequency and cause of mixed parentage and ...
متن کاملA bayesian framework for parentage analysis: the value of genetic and other biological data.
We develop fractional allocation models and confidence statistics for parentage analysis in mating systems. The models can be used, for example, to estimate the paternities of candidate males when the genetic mother is known or to calculate the parentage of candidate parent pairs when neither is known. The models do not require two implicit assumptions made by previous models, assumptions that ...
متن کاملUtilization of a 17 Microsatellites Set For Bovine Traceability in Czech Cattle Populations
For identification of individuals and parentage control performed by cattle breeders in the Czech Republic, a novel Finnish Bovine Genotypes™ Panel 3.1was amplified by means of one multiplex polymerase chain reaction. Bovine Panel encompasses all the 12 STR loci recommended by the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) for routine use in parentage testing and identification, including...
