متن کاملMating Changes Sexually Dimorphic Gene Expression in the Seed Beetle Callosobruchus maculatus
Sexually dimorphic phenotypes arise largely from sex-specific gene expression, which has mainly been characterized in sexually naïve adults. However, we expect sexual dimorphism in transcription to be dynamic and dependent on factors such as reproductive status. Mating induces many behavioral and physiological changes distinct to each sex and is therefore expected to activate regulatory changes...
متن کاملA New Interpretation of the Social Organization and Mating System of the Ringtaled Lemur (lemur Caita)
Michelle L. Sauther and Robert W. Sussman Department of Anthropology Washington University St. Louis, MO 63130 U.S.A. Long-term and intensive studies of identified individuals have enabled us to reexamine the social structure and organization of Lemur catta. Ringtailed lemurs have highly overlapping home ranges which vary in size de~endin~ upon season and habitat, and should not be considered s...
متن کاملThe effect of male mating history on paternal investment, fecundity and female remating in the seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus
In insects and many other organisms, males can provide considerable nutrients to females via ejaculates, spermatophores or nuptial gifts (Thornhill 1976; Thornhill & Alcock 1983; Gwynne 1997). These nutritive contributions can impact an animal’s life-history and reproductive strategies (Trivers 1972; Dewsbury 1982) by influencing female fecundity, offspring size or quality, female mating behavi...
متن کاملSocial Structure and Mating System of the Buffy Flower Bat, Erophylla Sezekorni (chiroptera, Phyllostomidae)
Polygyny and promiscuity are the 2 most common mammalian mating systems, whereas monogamy and lek mating are rare. Mammalian mating systems are thought to be influenced by the amount of paternal investment required, defensibility of females, and the stability and size of female groups. With some notable exceptions, male bats typically make no paternal investment and, because of high mobility an...
