متن کاملAlternative reproductive tactics in fish
Among vertebrates, fish show by far the greatest variability of alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs). Usually, males attempting to monopolize access to females or fertilizations are parasitized by conspecific male competitors (Taborsky 1997). This is so common in fish (Mank and Avise 2006) that it appears to be the rule rather than the exception: in fish with external fertilization, 170 spec...

متن کاملGenetic variation in threshold reaction norms for alternative reproductive tactics in male Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar.
Alternative reproductive tactics may be a product of adaptive phenotypic plasticity, such that discontinuous variation in life history depends on both the genotype and the environment. Phenotypes that fall below a genetically determined threshold adopt one tactic, while those exceeding the threshold adopt the alternative tactic. We report evidence of genetic variability in maturation thresholds...
متن کاملDifferences in prolactin levels between three alternative male reproductive tactics in striped mice (Rhabdomys pumilio).
In male fishes, birds and mammals, increased prolactin secretion is thought to play a role in species showing paternal behaviours. This hypothesis was investigated in the striped mouse (Rhabdomys pumilio). This paper compares serum prolactin levels in 71 free-living male striped mice following three different reproductive tactics: (i) paternal group-living breeders, (ii) alloparental philopatri...
