Male competition and the evolution of mating and ire-history traits in experimental populations of Aedes aegypti

Brian Dennis Hollis

Aedes aegypti is an important disease vector and a major target of reproductive control efforts. We manipulated the opportunity for sexual selection in populations of Ae. aegypti by controlling the number of males competing for a single female. Populations ...

No Scope for Social Modulation of Steroid Levels in a Year-Round Territorial Damselfish

Both latitude and mating system have been proposed to shape relationships between steroid hormone levels and social behavior. Recently it has been postulated that species with long lasting non-seasonal territorial behavior have low androgen responsiveness. ...

Task-dependent influence of genetic architecture and mating frequency on division of labour in social insect societies

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller

Division of labour is one of the most prominent features of social insects. The efficient allocation of individuals to different tasks requires dynamic adjustment in response to environmental perturbations. Theoretical models suggest that the colony-level ...

Influence of the level of polyandry and genetic architecture on division of labour

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller

Genetic diversity is thought to be a main factor in determin ing task performance and behavioral plasticity of social insect colonies. This diversity has two main causes. a) Multiple matings by the colony queen (polyandry) and b) the number of regions on t ...
