Haploid selection within a single ejaculate increases offspring fitness.
An inescapable consequence of sex in eukaryotes is the evolution of a biphasic life cycle with alternating diploid and haploid phases. The occurrence of selection during the haploid phase can have far-reaching consequences for fundamental evolutionary processes including the rate of adaptation, the extent of inbreeding depression, and the load of deleterious mutations, as well as for applied re...
متن کاملSperm variation within a single ejaculate affects offspring development in Atlantic salmon.
It is generally believed that variation in sperm phenotype within a single ejaculate has no consequences for offspring performance, because sperm phenotypes are thought not to reflect sperm genotypes. We show that variation in individual sperm function within an ejaculate affects the performance of the resulting offspring in the Atlantic salmon Salmo salar. We experimentally manipulated the tim...
متن کاملNatural selection for within-generation variance in offspring number II. Discrite haploid models.
In the classical model of genetic drift in population genetics theory, use is made of a hypothetical "infinite-gametic pool". If, instead, the gametic pool is determined by the random number of offspring per individual, a new form of natural selection acting on the variance in offspring number occurs. A diffusion model of this selection process is derived and some of its properties are explored...
متن کاملThe E ects of Recombination on a Haploid Quasispecies Evolving on a Single-peak Fitness Landscape
In this paper we investigate the eeects of (uniform) recombination on the evolution of a haploid quasispecies on a single-peak \spike" tness landscape. It is found that at low mutation rates the long-term behaviour of the quasispecies exhibits one stable and one unstable equilibrium. At a critical mutation rate which we identify as an error threshold, the stable and unstable equilibria coalesce...
متن کاملHarvest-induced disruptive selection increases variance in fitness-related traits.
The form of Darwinian selection has important ecological and management implications. Negative effects of harvesting are often ascribed to size truncation (i.e. strictly directional selection against large individuals) and resultant decrease in trait variability, which depresses capacity to buffer environmental change, hinders evolutionary rebound and ultimately impairs population recovery. How...
