Mating experience in field crickets modifies pre- and postcopulatory female choice in parallel
Modifications in female mate choice resulting from social experience can affect male reproductive success, thereby influencing the evolution of male secondary sexual characters. However, there is little information about how social experience affects different stages of female choice, for example, preversus postcopulatory choice, and whether social experience exerts parallel or divergent effect...
متن کاملCompetitive PCR reveals the complexity of postcopulatory sexual selection in Teleogryllus commodus.
The outcome of mate choice depends on complex interactions between males and females both before and after copulation. Although the competition between males for access to mates and premating choice by females are relatively well understood, the nature of interactions between cryptic female choice and male sperm competition within the female reproductive tract is less clear. Understanding the c...
متن کاملSexual conflict and cryptic female choice in the black field cricket, Teleogryllus commodus.
The prevalence and evolutionary consequences of cryptic female choice (CFC) remain highly controversial, not least because the processes underlying its expression are often concealed within the female reproductive tract. However, even when female discrimination is relatively easy to observe, as in numerous insect species with externally attached spermatophores, it is often difficult to demonstr...
متن کاملMale Genital Morphology and Its Influence on Female Mating Preferences and Paternity Success in Guppies
In internally fertilizing species male genitalia often show a higher degree of elaboration than required for simply transferring sperm to females. Among the hypotheses proposed to explain such diversity, sexual selection has received the most empirical support, with studies revealing that genital morphology can be targeted by both pre-and postcopulatory sexual selection. Until now, most studies...
متن کاملFemale mate assessment and choice behavior affect the frequency of alternative male mating tactics
Explanations for the existence of alternative male mating tactics focus primarily on male–male competition. Mating systems, however, are composed of interactions both within and between the sexes, and the role of female behavior in shaping male mating tactics should not be overlooked. By using a dynamic state variable game model, I examine how female mate assessment and choice behavior affect t...
