Quantitative measures of sexual selection reveal no evidence for sex-role reversal in a sea spider with prolonged paternal care.
Taxa in which males alone invest in postzygotic care of offspring are often considered good models for investigating the proffered relationships between sexual selection and mating systems. In the pycnogonid sea spider Pycnogonum stearnsi, males carry large egg masses on their bodies for several weeks, so this species is a plausible candidate for sex-role reversal (greater intensity of sexual s...
متن کاملTerminal Investment Strategies and Male Mate choice: Extreme Tests of Bateman.
Bateman's principle predicts the intensity of sexual selection depends on rates of increase of fecundity with mating success for each sex (Bateman slopes). The sex with the steeper increase (usually males) is under more intense sexual selection and is expected to compete for access to the sex under less intense sexual selection (usually females). Under Bateman and modern refinements of his idea...
متن کاملUnderstanding reversals in the relative strength of sexual selection on males and females: a role for sperm competition?
Sperm competition affects sexual selection intensity on males, but models suggest it cannot affect the relative intensity of sexual selection on males compared to females. However, if sperm competition depresses the payoff for male multiple mating, it could affect the relative intensity of sexual selection and even cause sexual selection to be more intense on females than males (reversal of typ...
متن کاملI-43: Identification of SOX3 as an XX MaleSex Reversal Gene in Mice and Jumans
Background: Mammals utilise an XX/XY system of sex determination in which the Y-linked gene SRY (Sexdetermining region Y) exerts a dominant masculinising influence on sexual development. Sex chromosome homology and comparative sequence studies suggest that SRY evolved from the related SOX3 gene on the X chromosome, although there is no direct functional evidence to support this hypothesis. The ...
متن کاملAFLP reveals no sex-specific markers in Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) or beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) from the southern Caspian Sea, Iran
The late sexual maturity in sturgeon and the absence of morphological differences between males and females makes sex discrimination difficult. Identification of sex at an early life stage is of high interest in caviar production because it allows efficient selection of females. In this study, the genome of 10 mature male and 10 mature female specimens of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus...
