Evidence for age-dependent mating strategies in the simultaneous hermaphrodite snail, Lymnaea stagnalis (L.).
In many mating systems female reproductive capacity is a limiting resource over which males will compete. As a consequence, males and females have usually different fitness optimization strategies which may give rise to sexual conflict. Since simultaneous hermaphrodites have, in theory, the option to mate as male or as female at any time, conflict will occur if partners insist in taking the sam...
متن کاملFemale sperm limitation in natural populations of a sexual/asexual mating complex (Poecilia latipinna, Poecilia formosa).
In sperm-dependent sexual/asexual mating systems, male mate choice is critical for understanding the mechanisms behind apparent stability observed in natural populations. The gynogenetic Amazon molly (Poecilia formosa) requires sperm from sexual males (e.g. Poecilia latipinna) to trigger embryogenesis, but inheritance is strictly maternal. Consequently, males should try to avoid or reduce the c...

متن کاملSimultaneous modeling of multiple recurrences in breast cancer patients
Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common recurrence cancers among women. There are several factors that can affect multiple recurrence of this disease. On the other hand, simultaneous examination of the types of relapses will make the results more accurate. The purpose of this study was to use a joint frailty model to model multiple recurrences of breast cancer patients. Materials ...
متن کاملThe Natural Variation in Six Populations of Calendula officinalis L.: A Karyotype Study
In the current investigation, karyotype analysis and chromosome characteristics of six populations of Calendula officinalis L.(pot marigold) from Iran are studied. Results showed that all populations were diploid (2n= 2x= 32), and had symmetrical karyotypes composing mainly of metacentric and submetacentric chromosomes. The mean chromosome length ranged from 1.05 in Karaj to 1.50 μm in...
