A Comment on "Mate Recognition Systems" [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1980
In a recent response to a note by Ringo (1977) on "Why 300 species of Hawaiian Drosophila?," Templeton (1979) introduced a new aspect to the discussion. This was the idea of the Mate Recognition System, or, as I now prefer to call it, the Specific-Mate Recognition System (SMRS), which I introduced in 1976.

A life history perspective on strategic mating effort in male scorpionflies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Engqvist L, Sauer KP. A life history perspective on strategic mating effort in male scorpionflies. Behavioral Ecology. 2002;13(5):632-636.In species with high male mating effort, there is a trade-off between mating effort spent in a current mating and ...

Animal‐borne video systems provide insight into the reproductive behavior of the Asian black bear

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Previous studies on the mating system of the Asian black bear (Ursus thibetanus) have been limited to observations of captive populations and estimations of multiple paternities. Hence, the mating system of wild bears remains poorly understood.

The repeatability of mating failure in a polyandrous bug [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

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 ...

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.

Male mating tactics in the rose bitterling (Rhodeus ocellatus) and European bitterling (Rhodeus amarus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The aim of this study was to investigate the basis to male mating decisions in two related species of bitterling: Rhodeus ocellatus and R. amarus. Bitterling have a resource-based mating system; females lay eggs in the gills of live freshwater mussels ...

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
