paternity,   etc   ; color; females; males; monogamy;     Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... In species with biparental care, diel patterns in male and female incubation arise due to the differential costs and benefits of incubation. This pattern should be less obvious or absent in species where both sexes stand to benefit significantly from investing in incubation (i.e. in monogamous species with high paternity certainty), in temperate climates and in sexually monomorphic species where s ...

Abstract:
... A major challenge in improving genetic merits of smallholder farmers’ flocks in developing livestock systems is the absence of pedigree and performance recording for reliable selection decisions. In this study, we evaluated the reliability of pedigree recording in a community-based Menz sheep village breeding program in Ethiopia, with the purpose of introducing genetic evaluation in the selection ...

Abstract:
... In socially monogamous species, extrapair paternity typically results from extrapair copulations, but it can also be due to rapid mate switching. Oring, Fleischer, Reed, and Marsden (1992, Nature, 359 (6396), 631–633) proposed a mechanism to explain the occurrence of extrapair paternity in sequentially polyandrous species: sperm stored by females from within-pair copulations with a previous mate c ...

Abstract:
... Deletion/insertion polymorphism (DIP) is a promising genetic marker of DNA length polymorphism. However, there are relatively few studies on the exploration of DIP genetic polymorphisms and investigation of population genetic data at present, which limits its application in forensic identification. In this study, the genetic polymorphisms of 57 autosomal DIPs and forensic application evaluations o ...

Female reproductive morphology and male mating order may also influence fertilization, however the outcome for sperm precedence under intense sperm competition remains poorly understood. In the polyandrous spider Pisaura mirabilis, males offer ...

There is growing evidence that engaging in extra‐pair copulations may be a strategy by which females can modify their initial mate choice if they are constrained by primary choice of the social mate. Several factors such as genetic similarity and adult phenotypic traits can affect extra‐pair paternity (EPP) patterns, but the relative importance of these factors may vary among species. Moreover, in ...
