Plant Mating Systems Often Vary Widely Among Populations
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Most flowering plants are hermaphroditic, yet the proportion of seeds fertilized by self and outcross pollen varies widely among species, ranging from predominant self-fertilization to exclusive outcrossing.

Mating Frequency of European Corn Borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in Minnesota, Kansas, and Texas [PDF]
, 2018 The frequency of mating and polyandry in natural populations are important parameters for understanding evolutionary dynamics. Mating frequency among natural populations of Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) [Lepidoptera: Crambidae] are quite variable.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 The sugarcane smut fungus Sporisorium scitamineum is bipolar and produces sporidia of two different mating types. During infection, haploid cells of opposite mating types can fuse to form dikaryotic hyphae that can colonize plant tissue.

Genetic regulation of the development of mating projections in Candida albicans. [PDF]
, 2020 Candida albicans is a major human fungal pathogen, capable of switching among a range of morphological types, such as the yeast form, including white and opaque cell types and the GUT (gastrointestinally induced transition) cell type, the filamentous ...

Correlates of genetic monogamy in socially monogamous mammals: insights from Azara's owl monkeys [PDF]
, 2014 Understanding the evolution of mating systems, a central topic in evolutionary biology for more than 50 years, requires examining the genetic consequences of mating and the relationships between social systems and mating systems.

Imprint of assortative mating on the human genome
Nature Human Behaviour, 2018 Preference for mates with similar phenotypes; that is, assortative mating, is widely observed in humans1–5 and has evolutionary consequences6–8. Under Fisher's classical theory6, assortative mating is predicted to induce a signature in the genome at ...

Behavioral traits and sexual recognition: multiple signaling in the reproductive behavior of Cyclocephala distincta (Melolonthidae, Cyclocephalini) [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 Night-foraging cyclocephaline scarab beetles rely on floral structures of specific plant hosts for food and shelter, as well as mating sites. Although the role of floral fragrances as long-range attractants in these interactions has been elucidated, the ...

The repeatability of mating failure in a polyandrous bug [PDF]
, 2015 Funding: NERC DTG ABE1-NERC13Mating failure, characterised by the lack of production of offspring following copulation, is relatively common across taxa yet is little understood.
