متن کاملInbreeding and outbreeding depression in Caenorhabditis nematodes.
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans reproduces primarily by self-fertilization of hermaphrodites, yet males are present at low frequencies in natural populations (androdioecy). The ancestral state of C. elegans was probably gonochorism (separate males and females), as in its relative C. remanei. Males may be maintained in C. elegans because outcrossed individuals escape inbreeding depression. T...
متن کاملTransposable elements in inbreeding and outbreeding populations.
Y OUNG et al. (1994) recently found that a putative transposable element (Lytl) is present at high abundance in the genomes of individuals sampled from a group of red-fruited species of Lycopersicon, and at a much lower abundance in green-fruited species of this genus. Similar or somewhat lower abundances were found in Solanum species believed to be closely related to Lycopersicon, and even low...
متن کاملPolymorphic microsatellite loci isolated from Cervus unicolor (Cervidae) show inbreeding in a domesticated population of Taiwan Sambar deer.
Primers for eight microsatellites were developed; they successfully amplified DNA from 20 domesticated Formosan Sambar deer (Cervus unicolor swinhoei). All loci were polymorphic, with 10-19 alleles per locus. The average observed heterozygosity across loci and samples was 0.310, ranging from 0 to 0.750 at each locus. All loci but one, CU18, deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium due to excess...
متن کاملSex-specific, counteracting responses to inbreeding in a bird.
Inbreeding often depresses offspring fitness. Because females invest more than males in a reproductive event, inbreeding is expected to be more costly to mothers than fathers, creating a divergence between the reproductive interests of each sex and promoting sex-specific inbreeding strategies. Males and females may bias the probability of inbreeding by selecting copulation partners, and, in sex...
