Mate-choice copying in Drosophila melanogaster: Impact of demonstration conditions and male-male competition.
Individuals of many species, including invertebrates, have been shown to use social information in mate choice, notably by extracting information from the mating performance of opposite sex conspecifics, a process called "mate-choice copying" (MCC). Here, we performed four experiments with Drosophila melanogaster to investigate two aspects of MCC methodology: whether (i) providing positive and ...
متن کاملIncestuous Sisters: Mate Preference for Brothers over Unrelated Males in Drosophila melanogaster
The literature is full of examples of inbreeding avoidance, while recent mathematical models predict that inbreeding tolerance or even inbreeding preference should be expected under several realistic conditions like e.g. polygyny. We investigated male and female mate preferences with respect to relatedness in the fruit fly D. melanogaster. Experiments offered the choice between a first order re...
متن کاملSpontaneous recombination in Drosophila melanogaster males.
A second chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster (symbol T-007) isolated from a natural population in Harlingen, Texas, was found to undergo recombination in heterozygous males. Heterozygous males transmit this chromosome with a frequency, k, of about 0.4, considerably reduced from the expected value of 0.5. The frequency of male recombination and the k value are negatively correlated, indicating...
متن کاملMate Choice Copying in Humans.
There is substantial evidence that in human mate choice, females directly select males based on male display of both physical and behavioral traits. In non-humans, there is additionally a growing literature on indirect mate choice, such as choice through observing and subsequently copying the mating preferences of conspecifics (mate choice copying). Given that humans are a social species with a...
متن کاملVariation in Male Mate Choice in Drosophila melanogaster
Male mate choice has been reported in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, even though males of this species were previously thought to maximise their fitness by mating with all available females. To understand the evolution of male mate choice it is important to understand variation in male mating preferences. Two studies, using different stock populations and different methods, have report...
