Alternative mating tactics in dimorphic males of the harvestman Longiperna concolor (Arachnida: Opiliones)
(SPRINGER, 2011)
Intense male-male competition for females may drive the evolution of male morphological dimorphism, which is frequently associated with alternative mating tactics. Using modern techniques for the detection of discontinuous ...
Anastrepha striata (Diptera: Tephritidae) females that mate with virgin males live longer
(Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2004)
ALLOMETRIC GROWTH, SEXUAL MATURITY, AND ADULT MALE CHELAE DIMORPHISM IN AEGLA FRANCA (DECAPODA: ANOMURA: AEGLIDAE)
(CRUSTACEAN SOC, 2009)
Allometric growth analysis on chelac dimensions vs. carapace length (CL) was employed to estimate average size at the onset of morphometric maturity (= puberty molt) and sexual dimorphism regarding the pair of chelae in ...
The effects of male age on sperm DNA damage in an infertile population
(2007-11-01)
The objective was to investigate the influence of age on sperm DNA damage. Semen samples were collected from 508 men in an unselected group of couples attending infertility investigation and treatment. DNA fragmentation ...
Transcript levels of ten caste-related genes in adult diploid males of Melipona quadrifasciata (Hymenoptera, Apidae): a comparison with haploid males, queens and workers
(2011)
In Hymenoptera, homozygosity at the sex locus results in the production of diploid males. In social species, these pose a double burden by having low fitness and drawing resources normally spent for increasing the work ...
Neonatal inhalatory anesthetic exposure: Reproductive changes in male rats
(2002-12-01)
We investigated the effects of an inhalatory anesthetic (ethyl ether) during the neonatal period of brain sexual differentiation on the later fertility and sexual behavior of male rats. Animals were exposed to ethyl ether ...
