In between breeding systems: neither dioecy nor androdioecy explains sexual polymorphism in functionally dioecious worms.
Related species share genetic and developmental backgrounds. Therefore, separate-sex species that share recent common ancestors with hermaphroditic species may have hidden genetic variation for sex determination that causes some level of lability of expression of gender. Worms of the polychaete species Ophryotrocha labronica have separate, dimorphic sexes and their ancestor was hermaphroditic. ...
متن کاملRepeated evolution of dioecy from androdioecy in Acer.
The evolution of breeding systems was studied in the genus Acer, with special attention to the origin of androdioecy and dioecy, using a phylogenetic approach. Parsimony and maximum-likelihood techniques were used to infer the ancestral character state and trends in the evolution of breeding systems. Information on breeding systems was obtained from the literature, and phylogenetic relationship...
متن کاملNeither fragments nor ellipsis *
Jason Merchant (2004, and Chap. 3, this volume) proposes to account for all speech acts performed with “fragments,” whether in discourse-initial position or otherwise, by appealing to syntactic ellipsis. Though his proposal is insightful, I offer empirical and methodological considerations against it. Empirical problems include: (a) His alleged “elliptical sentences” do not embed the way they s...
متن کاملNeither separate nor equivalent
Evidence suggests that binding, or encoding a feature with respect to other features in time and space, can convey cognitive advantages. However, evidence across many kinds of stimuli and paradigms presents a mixed picture, alternatively showing cognitive costs or cognitive advantages associated with maintaining bound representations. We examined memory for colored letters drawn from similar an...
متن کاملHow does breeding system variation modulate sexual antagonism?
The study of sexually antagonistic (SA) traits remains largely limited to dioecious (separate sex), mobile animals. However, the occurrence of sexual conflict is restricted neither by breeding system (the mode of sexual reproduction, e.g. dioecy or hermaphroditism) nor by sessility. Here, we synthesize how variation in breeding system can affect the evolution and expression of intra- and inter-...
