A similar phenomenon has been observed for pheromones in multiple other species where higher doses induce a less robust behavioral response, or even begin to elicit alarm or escape behaviors, compared with lower doses (Leal et al., 1989; Shimizu et al., 2003).
Alternatively, association mapping is a method for high-resolution mapping of QTL based on linkage disequilibrium (LD), and is useful for dissecting complex traits controlled by multiple QTL in species where LD decays rapidly [29], [30].
Unusual mass strandings, where multiple species of whale and dolphin beach at several locations at once, have soared since the introduction of military sonar in the 1950s and can be fatal.
It's particularly relevant in processes involving mixed cultures, where multiple species contribute to the total growth.
Males that have not successfully copulated might masturbate to ejaculation as a sexual outlet, particularly in species where multiple mating has selected for high sexual arousal [19].
This is relevant in field conditions where multiple species of mosquitoes will be present.
Where multiple species were held on one farm, we assumed that catching teams catch, on average, one species per visit with probability defined in Table 1.
Many species take part in Müllerian mimicry 'rings', where multiple species converge in wing pattern and thereby benefit through protection from predators [ 1].
Dahlica triquetrella is one of those species where multiple transitions to parthenogenesis are postulated based on intensive cytological and behavioural studies.
However, there are a few cases (total of 35; ranging from 2 to 13 in the five species) where multiple domains evolve asymmetrically.
Interestingly, as in cod, all stickleback alpha 1 domains form one tight cluster as opposed to several other species where multiple alpha 1 domain lineages are found in common in even distantly related species.
