Bacteria‐type‐specific biparental immune priming in the pipefish Syngnathus typhle
The transfer of immunity from parents to offspring (trans-generational immune priming (TGIP)) boosts offspring immune defence and parasite resistance. TGIP is usually a maternal trait. However, if fathers have a physical connection to their offspring, and if offspring are born in the paternal parasitic environment, evolution of paternal TGIP can become adaptive. In Syngnathus typhle, a sex-role...
متن کاملClustered microsatellite mutations in the pipefish Syngnathus typhle.
Clustered mutations are copies of a mutant allele that enter a population's gene pool together due to replication from a premeiotic germline mutation and distribution to multiple successful gametes of an individual. Although the phenomenon has been studied in Drosophila and noted in a few other species, the topic has received scant attention despite claims of being of major importance to popula...
متن کاملMate quality influences multiple maternity in the sex-role-reversed pipefish Syngnathus typhle
In the pipefish Syngnathus typhle, pregnant males provide all parental care. Females are able to produce more eggs than males can brood, and consequently females compete more intensely for mates than do males, a phenomenon defined as sex-role reversal. As the genetic mating system influences the operation of sexual selection, we investigate variation in one phenotypic component of mate quality,...
متن کاملEvidence of paternal nutrient provisioning to embryos in broad-nosed pipefish Syngnathus typhle.
In two experiments, radioactively labelled nutrients (either (3)H-labelled amino-acid mixture or (14)C-labelled glucose) were tube-fed to brooding male Syngnathus typhle. Both nutrients were taken up by the males and radioactivity generally increased in the brood pouch tissue with time. Furthermore, a low but significant increase of (3)H-labelled amino acids in embryos was found over the experi...
متن کاملThe Measurement of Sexual Selection Using Bateman's Principles: An Experimental Test in the Sex-Role-Reversed Pipefish Syngnathus typhle.
Angus J. Bateman's classic study of sexual selection in Drosophila melanogaster has had a major influence on the development of sexual selection theory. In some ways, Bateman's study has served a catalytic role by stimulating debate on sex roles, sexual conflict and other topics in sexual selection. However, there is still considerable disagreement regarding whether or not "Bateman's principles...
