Virginity and the clutch size behavior of a parasitoid wasp where mothers mate their sons.
Theoretical and empirical research on the evolution of clutch size has proved to be an extremely productive area of evolutionary biology. A general prediction is that individuals should produce a smaller number of offspring when resources are more limited, such as when multiple individuals compete for the same resources for their development. However, we expect that the opposite prediction aris...

متن کاملGeneralization in response to mate recognition signals.
Females usually exhibit strong and unequivocal recognition of conspecific mating signals and reject those of other sympatric heterospecifics. However, most species are allopatric with one another, and the degree to which females recognize mating signals of allopatric species is more varied. Such mating signals are often rejected but are sometimes falsely recognized as conspecific. We studied th...
متن کاملFemale genomic response to mate information.
Females should be choosier than males about prospective mates because of the high costs of inappropriate mating decisions. Both theoretical and empirical studies have identified factors likely to influence female mate choices. However, male-male social interactions also can affect mating decisions, because information about a potential mate can trigger changes in female reproductive physiology....
متن کاملHow to Choose the Right Mate
Genetically programmed recombination plays an important role in differentiation, antigenic variation, and evolution in many systems. Mating-type switching is an example of programmed recombination, and studies of both the budding yeast [1] and fission yeast [2] have provided a wealth of knowledge on how epigenetic and genetic machineries interact with each other to control this process. Fission...
