Can paternal leakage maintain sexually antagonistic polymorphism in the cytoplasm?
A growing number of studies in multicellular organisms highlight low or moderate frequencies of paternal transmission of cytoplasmic organelles, including both mitochondria and chloroplasts. It is well established that strict maternal inheritance is selectively blind to cytoplasmic elements that are deleterious to males - 'mother's curse'. But it is not known how sensitive this conclusion is to...
متن کاملKin selection, genomics and caste-antagonistic pleiotropy.
Kin selection is a fundamentally important process that affects the evolution of social behaviours. The genomics revolution now provides the opportunity to test kin selection theory using genomic data. In this commentary, we discuss previous studies that explored the link between kin selection and patterns of variation within the genome. We then present a new theory aimed at understanding the e...
متن کاملCorrelations among fertility components can maintain mixed mating in plants.
Classical models studying the evolution of self-fertilization in plants conclude that only complete selfing and complete outcrossing are evolutionarily stable. In contrast with this prediction, 42% of seed-plant species are reported to have rates of self-fertilization between 0.2 and 0.8. We propose that many previous models fail to predict intermediate selfing rates because they do not allow f...
متن کاملAntagonistic Pleiotropy and Fitness Trade-Offs Reveal Specialist and Generalist Traits in Strains of Canine Distemper Virus
Theoretically, homogeneous environments favor the evolution of specialists whereas heterogeneous environments favor generalists. Canine distemper is a multi-host carnivore disease caused by canine distemper virus (CDV). The described cell receptor of CDV is SLAM (CD150). Attachment of CDV hemagglutinin protein (CDV-H) to this receptor facilitates fusion and virus entry in cooperation with the f...
متن کاملLife History Evolution with Antagonistic Pleiotropy and Overlapping Generations
Previous results found for selection with antagonistic pleiotropy and discrete generations are extended to cases with overlapping generations. In order to do so, protected polymorphism conditions are found for monoecious and dioecious populations when the intrinsic rate of increase, or Malthusian parameter, is not too large in magnitude. Under such conditions, it is shown that recessive deleter...
