Genetic Variation and Covariation in Male Attractiveness and Female Mating Preferences in Drosophila melanogaster
How mating preferences evolve remains one of the major unsolved mysteries in evolutionary biology. One major impediment to the study of ornament-preference coevolution is that many aspects of the theoretical literature remain loosely connected to empirical data. Theoretical models typically streamline mating preferences by describing preference functions with a single parameter, a modeling conv...
متن کاملDopamine receptor genetic variation, psychosis, and aggression in Alzheimer disease.
OBJECTIVE To examine if selected polymorphisms in the dopamine receptor genes DRD1, DRD2, DRD3, and DRD4 are associated with the presence of psychosis or aggressive behavior in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). DESIGN A cohort of patients with AD were longitudinally evaluated for behavioral symptoms and classified with regard to the presence of psychotic symptoms and physical aggression. ...
متن کاملGenetic variation and mating success in managed american plains bison.
The American plains bison (Bison bison) was pushed to the brink of extinction in the late 1800s but has since rebounded. Less than 5% of animals currently exist in conservation herds that are critical for maintaining genetic variability. Here, we use 25 microsatellite loci to assess genetic diversity and patterns of mating success over a 3-year period in a managed conservation herd at Konza Pra...
متن کاملMaterial and genetic benefits of female multiple mating and polyandry
The maintenance of female polyandry has traditionally been attributed to the material (direct) benefits derived from male mating resources (e.g. nuptial gifts) accrued by multiple mating. However, genetic (indirect) benefits offer a more robust explanation since only polyandrous, not monandrous, females may gain both material benefits from multiple mating and genetic benefits from multiple sire...
متن کاملFemale and male genetic contributions to post-mating immune defence in female Drosophila melanogaster.
Post-mating reduction in immune defence is common in female insects, and a trade-off between mating and immunity could affect the evolution of immunity. In this work, we tested the capacity of virgin and mated female Drosophila melanogaster to defend against infection by four bacterial pathogens. We found that female D. melanogaster suffer post-mating immunosuppression in a pathogen-dependent m...
