In addition to the mating analysis to determine the mating type of each isolate, PCR and sequence analysis were used to detect either of the two mating type-specific idiomorphs of the SXI genes.
Gibbon group size was linked to climatic as well as social drivers, with larger group sizes associated with low mean annual rainfall in addition to polygynous mating system.
To bridge this gap, I report the frequency of multiple paternity, extra group paternity and alpha paternity for mammals and examine their relationship with relative testes size, in addition to length of mating season, litter size and ovulation mode, variables previously shown to be important predictors of relative testes size.
All males in the experiment had the opportunity to mate twice during the course of the experiment in addition to their 1 mating prior, those that were in treatments 5 8 had the opportunity to mate with 2 different females while those in treatments 1 4 had the opportunity to mate with the same female twice.
Furthermore, because the mating process can also be quite prolonged, it is possible to analyze intermediate states – in addition to virgin and mated, laying queens, we can monitor behavior, physiology, and gene-expression patterns in mated queens that have not yet initiated egg-laying.
In addition to a simple mating system, random mating, our model and simulations assumed non-overlapping generations.
In addition to canonical bipolar mating (Kwon-Chung et al. 1992), C. neoformans can form high-DNA content titan cells (Okagaki et al. 2010) and can produce aneuploid progeny through unisexual mating (Ni et al. 2013).
In addition to reducing life span, mating stimulates progeny production by female Drosophila [ 9].
In addition to the competition for mating opportunities, it has been realised that sexual selection can continue after copulation.
