Morning glory species co‐occurrence is associated with asymmetrically decreased and cascading reproductive isolation

open access: yesEvolution Letters, 2021
Hybridization between species can affect the strength of the reproductive barriers that separate those species. Two extensions of this effect are (1) the expectation that asymmetric hybridization or gene flow will have asymmetric effects on reproductive ...

Mating system variation and assortative mating of sympatric bromeliads (Pitcairnia spp.) endemic to neotropical inselbergs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Premise of the study: The mating system is an important component of the complex set of reproductive isolation barriers causing plant speciation.

Experimental evidence of polyandry and prolonged copulations in Photinus palaciosi, a synchronous firefly with brachypterous females (Coleoptera: Lampyridae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2023
Males of some species of the firefly Photinus produce nutritious spermatophores (nuptial gifts) the production of which is associated with a specific reproductive morphology.

Genetic regulation of the development of mating projections in Candida albicans. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Unraveling How Candida albicans Forms Sexual Biofilms. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Biofilms, structured and densely packed communities of microbial cells attached to surfaces, are considered to be the natural growth state for a vast majority of microorganisms.

Local Coastal Configuration Rather Than Latitudinal Gradient Shape Clonal Diversity and Genetic Structure of Phymatolithon calcareum Maerl Beds in North European Atlantic

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Maerl beds are one of the world’s key coastal ecosystems and are threatened by human activities and global change. In this study, the genetic diversity and structure of one of the major European maerl-forming species, Phymatolithon calcareum, was studied

Mating system of a population of Myracrodruon urundeuva F.F. & M.F. Allemão using the fAFLP molecular marker

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2004
The mating system and genetic diversity were studied in a natural population of Myracrodruon urundeuva originating from 30 open-pollinated trees at the Paulo de Faria Ecological Station, SP, Brazil. The progenies were planted on the Teaching and Research

Could the reproductive system explain the stability and long-term persistence in a natural hybrid zone of Petunia (Solanaceae)?

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2022
The long-term success of populations is dependent on individual reproductive success, and in general, increased population size and genetic diversity contribute to population maintenance, reducing the risk of local extinction. Interspecific hybridization

Sexual size dimorphism in anurans: roles of mating system and habitat types [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BACKGROUND: Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is widespread and variable among animals. Sexual selection, fecundity selection and ecological divergence between males and females are the major evolutionary forces of SSD.

Reproductive strategies and population genetic structure of Fucus spp. across a northeast Atlantic biogeographic transition☆

open access: yesAquatic Living Resources, 2017
Geographical discontinuities in the composition of species assemblages are often mirrored by genetic clines and local adaptation in species that extend across such biogeographic disjunction.
