Abstract:
... Currently, Y-short tandem repeat loci (Y-STRs) have been increasingly used in the forensic field, particularly in investigations of sexual assault, determination of paternity and male lineage studies because of the characteristics of male-only and paternal inheritance. The Microreader™ 29Y Prime ID system is a 29-plex Y-STR genotyping system that amplifies 17 widely used commercial loci (DYS570, D ...

Abstract:
... Extra‐pair paternity (EPP) is a widespread phenomenon in birds. Researchers have long hypothesized that EPP must confer a fitness advantage to extra‐pair offspring (EPO), but empirical support for this hypothesis is definitively mixed. This could be because genetic benefits of EPP only exist in a subset of environmental contexts to which a population is exposed. From 2013 to 2015, we manipulated p ...

Abstract:
... Sperm competition commonly occurs whenever females mate multiply, leading to variation in male paternity success. This can be due to variation in the various traits that might affect sperm competitive ability, which itself depends on both genetic and environmental factors, as well as on genotype‐by‐environment interactions (GEI). Seminal fluid is a major component of the male ejaculate that is oft ...

Abstract:
... Mating systems are poorly understood for the majority of the world’s estimated 600 stingless bee species (Meliponini). It is assumed that in most species, a virgin queen takes a single nuptial flight, mates with a single drone and returns to the nest, using the stored sperm from this one event for the remainder of her life. Multiple genetic studies focused on stingless bee species from around the ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Previous studies investigating donkey parentage and genetic diversity used horse‐specific multiplex systems. However, several mis‐allele and null‐allele issues were found with some of the horse primers when used in donkeys. In 2017, the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) recommended 13 dinucleotide short tandem repeats (STRs) (AHT4, ASB23, HMS2, HMS3, HMS6, HMS7, HMS18, H ...

Abstract:
... Previous experimental studies demonstrated that small drones (SD) had lower paternity share since they were not successful in mating with queens as large drones (LD) in the mating arena. However, it remains unclear whether spermatozoa of SD can compete in vivo with those of LD if SD have mating opportunity. We, therefore, tested the spermatozoal competitiveness of SD against LD by instrumentally i ...

Abstract:
... Multiple mating is common in Sea Turtles, and previous studies have suggested that levels of multiple paternity are higher in larger rookeries compared with smaller rookeries. As a result, smaller rookeries may be more vulnerable to the loss of genetic variation than would larger rookeries. The critically endangered Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) has a single high-density rookery ( ...

Abstract:

Given that sperm production can be costly, theory predicts that males should optimally adjust the quantity and/or quality of their sperm in response to their social environment to maximize their paternity success. Although experiments demonstrate that males can alter their ejaculates in response to manipulations of the social environment and studies show that ejaculate traits covary with social en ...

Abstract:
... In many animals, investment in anti-predator traits can affect reproductive success. Conversely, males that invest more resources in mating success may have relatively fewer resources to devote to anti-predator traits, leading to increased predation risk. Although previous studies have reported a trade-off in investment between anti-predator traits and reproductive traits in male animals, few stud ...

Abstract:
... Cannibalism is a common occurrence in nature, and many cannibals prey on relatively small and defenseless life stages, such as eggs or young juveniles. Such behavior provides many benefits to the cannibal, but cannibalistic individuals also face risks, including the cost of decreasing their inclusive fitness by eating close relatives such as siblings or offspring. This risk can be mitigated if can ...

Abstract:
... In many insects, males transfer nuptial gifts to females prior to, during, or after copulation. Nuptial gifts comprise any form of non-gametic material transfer, such as glandular secretions, prey items, and spermatophores. These gifts can increase male fitness by facilitating copulation or sperm transfer or by promoting the female’s use of the focal male’s sperm. However, when a female mates with ...
