Increase in Male Reproductive Success and Female Reproductive Investment in Invasive Populations of the Harlequin Ladybird Harmonia axyridis
Reproductive strategy affects population dynamics and genetic parameters that can, in turn, affect evolutionary processes during the course of biological invasion. Life-history traits associated with reproductive strategy are therefore potentially good candidates for rapid evolutionary shifts during invasions. In a series of mating trials, we examined mixed groups of four males from invasive an...
متن کاملPhysical traits and reproductive success in male primary broiler breeders
Genetic selection for high yield in primary broiler breeder males may result in skeletal modifications that impede sperm transfer upon mating. In addition, fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in bilateral traits has been shown to reliably indicate male reproductive potential in some avian species. The goal of this study was to determine if physical variation due to genetic selection and FA could explain...

متن کاملReproductive success in wild and hatchery male coho salmon
Salmon produced by hatcheries have lower fitness in the wild than naturally produced salmon, but the factors underlying this difference remain an active area of research. We used genetic parentage analysis of alevins produced by experimentally mixed groups of wild and hatchery coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) to quantify male paternity in spawning hierarchies. We identify factors influencing ...
متن کاملTerritoriality and male reproductive success in arctic ground squirrels
Although territorial defense is a common form of reproductive competition among male vertebrates, the exact reproductive consequences of this behavior are often poorly understood. To explore relationships between territoriality and reproductive success in a nongroup-living mammal, we quantified patterns of space use, mating success, and fertilization success for males in a free-living populatio...
