Deleterious mutation in related species of the plant genus Amsinckia with contrasting mating systems.
Theory for the evolution of modifiers of the rate of mutation suggests that a lower rate of mutation may evolve after the breakdown of mechanisms that enforce outcrossing. Mutation accumulation (MA) experiments were conducted to compare deleterious mutation parameters in two closely related species of the plant genus Amsinckia, a group that exhibits wide variation in the mating system. One of t...
متن کاملAsymmetrical Gene Flow in a Hybrid Zone of Hawaiian Schiedea (Caryophyllaceae) Species with Contrasting Mating Systems
Asymmetrical gene flow, which has frequently been documented in naturally occurring hybrid zones, can result from various genetic and demographic factors. Understanding these factors is important for determining the ecological conditions that permitted hybridization and the evolutionary potential inherent in hybrids. Here, we characterized morphological, nuclear, and chloroplast variation in a ...
متن کاملMicrosatellite variation and evolution in the Mimulus guttatus species complex with contrasting mating systems.
Mutational variability at microsatellite loci is shaped by both population history and the mating system. In turn, alternate mating systems in flowering plants can resolve aspects of microsatellite loci evolution. Five species of yellow monkeyflowers (Mimulus sect. Simiolis) differing for historical rates of inbreeding were surveyed for variation at six microsatellite loci. High levels of diver...
متن کاملSpecies-specific markers provide molecular genetic evidence for natural introgression of bullhead catfishes in Hungary
Since three bullhead catfish species were introduced to Europe in the late 19th century, they have spread to most European countries. In Hungary, the brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus) was more widespread in the 1970s-1980s, but the black bullhead (Ameiurus melas) has gradually supplanted since their second introduction in 1980. The introgressive hybridization of the two species has been presu...
متن کاملCorticosterone Concentrations Reflect Parental Expenditure in Contrasting Mating Systems of Two Coucal Species
The period of parental care can be a demanding life-history stage because parents need to find sufficient resources to feed themselves and their offspring. Often, this is reflected by elevated baseline levels of glucocorticoids—hormones that regulate metabolism and energy allocation. During 10 breeding seasons, we studied plasma corticosterone (the major avian glucocorticoid) concentrations as ...
