متن کاملPopulation Dynamics of Species with Gynogenetic Sibling Species
Models are formulated for the population dynamics of a monoecious or dioecious species with an all-female parthenogenetic sibling species which is also gynogenetic. Continuous, deterministic reproduction and mortality, a stationary age distribution, random mating, and limited sexual competence for all individuals are posited. It is also supposed that in the dioecious case males do not distingui...
متن کاملStable inheritance of host species-derived microchromosomes in the gynogenetic fish Poecilia formosa.
B chromosomes are additional, usually unstable constituents of the genome of many organisms. Their origin, however, is often unclear and their evolutionary relevance is not well understood. They may range from being deleterious to neutral or even beneficial. We have followed the genetic fate of B chromosomes in the asexual, all-female fish Poecilia formosa over eight generations. In this specie...
متن کاملMating Preferences of the Gynogenetic Amazon Molly Differ Between Populations Sympatric with Different Host Species
Gynogenetic species rely on sperm from heterospecifics for reproduction but do not receive genetic benefits from mating because none of the paternal genome is incorporated into offspring. The gynogenetic Amazon molly (Poecilia formosa) is a species of hybrid origins that are sympatric with one of the two parent species that provide sperm for reproduction, P. latipinna or P. mexicana. Amazons sh...
متن کاملEvolving Perceptual Categories **Draft, do not cite**
Hume’s scepticism was based, in part, on what he believed to be an inability of human observers to ever go beyond their perceptual experiences. How can an observer determine the veridicality of perception when her only access to the external world is mediated by perception itself? A related question may be asked about not the qualities of perception, but about the perceptual categories of biolo...
