Microsatellite markers for the praying mantid Ciulfina rentzi (Liturgusidae).
Nine polymorphic microsatellite loci were characterized from an enrichment library of the Australian praying mantid Ciulfina rentzi, a group with a unique reproductive morphology and behaviour. The number of alleles per locus ranged from three to 16 and heterozygosity from 0.24 to 0.94. These markers are the first microsatellites developed for any praying mantid. They will be useful for paterni...
متن کاملTension-sensitive kinetochore phosphorylation and the chromosome distribution checkpoint in praying mantid spermatocytes.
Improper chromosome attachment to the spindle can lead to daughter cells with missing or extra chromosomes. Such mishaps are avoided in many cells by a checkpoint that detects even a single improperly attached chromosome. What is detected? A misattached chromosome is not under tension from opposed mitotic forces, and in praying mantid spermatocytes, direct experiments show that the absence of t...
متن کاملThe Effect of Female Quality on Male Ejaculatory Expenditure and Reproductive Success in a Praying Mantid
Strategic ejaculation is a behavioural strategy shown by many animals as a response to sperm competition and/or as a potential mechanism of cryptic male choice. Males invest more mating resources when the risk of sperm competition increases or they invest more in high quality females to maximize their reproductive output. We tested this hypothesis in the false garden mantid Pseudomantis albofim...
متن کاملYou Are What You Eat: Food Limitation Affects Reproductive Fitness in a Sexually Cannibalistic Praying Mantid
Resource limitation during the juvenile stages frequently results in developmental delays and reduced size at maturity, and dietary restriction during adulthood can affect longevity and reproductive output. Variation in food intake can also result in alteration to the normal pattern of resource allocation among body parts or life-history stages. My primary aim in this study was to determine how...
متن کاملProprioceptive contribution to distance estimation by motion parallax in a praying mantid
The behavioural experiments described here examined, in the praying mantis Tenodera sinensis, the manner in which the proprioceptive cervical hair plate sensilla are involved in the measurement of the distance to a jump target with the aid of motion parallax actively produced by translatory head motion. Various combinations of surgical deafferentation of the cervical hair plate sensilla had no ...
