Males evolved from the dominant isogametic mating type
Cultures and induction of gamete formation Eight heterothallic strains of Pleodorina starrii [S1] were used in this study and were maintained at 20-22°C as described previously[S1]. Two heterothallic strains (2000-602-P14female and 2000-602-P15male) were used in the initial stage of the present study. Later, other isolates of P. starrii from a different collection (2001-608-P26female, 2001-608-...
متن کاملMales of social insects can prevent queens from multiple mating.
During copulation, males of Bombus terrestris fill the queen's sexual tract with a mating plug after transferring their sperm. The sticky secretion is produced by the male's accessory glands and disappears within a couple of days. Experiments now show that the primary function of the plug is to reduce the subsequent mating probability of the queen. The plug is not efficient in preventing sperm ...
متن کاملFemale túngara frogs elicit more complex mating signals from males
Sexual selection is responsible for the evolution of costly elaborate male traits. When male displays are dynamic, display strategy is sensitive to contextual cues that alter the relative costs and benefits of producing each signal in a male’s repertoire. Because females often prefer more elaborate signals, males often respond to female presence by elaborating their display. When added elaborat...
متن کاملMating and longevity in ant males
Across multicellular organisms, the costs of reproduction and self-maintenance result in a life history trade-off between fecundity and longevity. Queens of perennial social Hymenoptera are both highly fertile and long-lived, and thus, this fundamental trade-off is lacking. Whether social insect males similarly evade the fecundity/longevity trade-off remains largely unstudied. Wingless males of...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity of Fusarium oxysporum Isolates from Common Bean and Distribution of Mating Type Alleles
Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schltdl. f.sp. phaseoli (Fop), is one of the important diseases of the common bean in Iran and many of the bean growing countries. Incidence of the disease has been reported in tropical and semi-tropical regions of the world. This study was carried out to characterize genetic diversity of F. oxysporum isolates from the common bean by vegetative compati...
