Microsatellite evolution in sunfish (Centrarchidae)
We describe 10 microsatellite loci from bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) and discuss their evolution within the Centrarchidae. All of the loci exhibit Mendelian inheritance and are unlinked. While six loci are conserved within the Centrarchidae (found also in pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides)), four have origins outside the family and two predate it by 65–...
متن کاملTemporal variation in cuckoldry and paternity in two sunfish species (Lepomis spp.) with alternative reproductive tactics
Male alternative reproductive tactics have been described in many mating systems. In fishes, these tactics typically involve a territorial male that defends a spawning site or nest and a parasitic male that uses sneaking or female mimicry to steal fertilizations from the territorial male. In this paper, we use molecular genetic markers to examine the success of males that adopt alternative repr...
متن کاملThe genetic mating system of spotted sunfish (Lepomis punctatus): mate numbers and the influence of male reproductive parasites.
In nest-building fish species, mature males often exhibit one of two alternative reproductive behaviours. Bourgeois males build nests, court females, and guard their eggs. Parasitic cuckolders attempt to steal fertilizations from bourgeois males and do not invest in parental care. Previous evidence from the bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) suggests that adult males are morphologically spe...
متن کاملLinkage relationships of nine enzyme Loci in sunfishes (lepomis; centrarchidae).
Linkage relationships of nine enzyme loci; aconitase (Acon ), esterase (Est), glucosephosphate isomerase A and B ( Gpi), glycerate-2-dehydrogenase (G2dh), malic enzyme (Me ), phosphoglycerate kinase (Pgk), phosphoglucomutase (Pgm ) and superoxide dismutase (Sod), were investigated in sunfishes (Lepomis, Centrarchidae). Reciprocal F(1) hybrids produced from crosses between green sunfish (Lepomis...
متن کاملSperm investment and alternative mating tactics in bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus)
Although alternative mating tactics are found in males of many species, little is known about tactic-specific adaptations to sperm competition and the mechanism by which fertilization success is obtained. We now report on the sperm investment patterns of males that use alternative mating tactics in bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus). Bluegill males are characterized by three alternative mat...
