Density affects mating mode and large male mating advantage in a fiddler crab
(Springer, 2010-12)
Fiddler crabs show two different mating modes: either females search and crabs mate underground in male burrows, or males search and crabs mate on the surface near female burrows. We explored the relationship between crab ...
Mate selection provides similar genetic progress and average inbreeding than optimum contribution selection in the long-term
(2020-09-15)
Optimum contribution selection (OCS) and mate selection (MS) are alternative strategies to maximize genetic gain under controlled rates of inbreeding. There is evidence in the literature that MS outperforms OCS in controlling ...
Mate selection provides similar genetic progress and average inbreeding than optimum contribution selection in the long-term
(Elsevier, 2020)
Optimum contribution selection (OCS) and mate selection (MS) are alternative strategies to maximize genetic gain under controlled rates of inbreeding. There is evidence in the literature that MS outperforms OCS in controlling ...
Harmonic convergence coordinates swarm mating by enhancing mate detection in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae
(Springer Nature, 2021)
The mosquito Anopheles gambiae is a major African malaria vector, transmitting parasites responsible for significant mortality and disease burden. Although flight acoustics are essential to mosquito mating and present ...
Male reproductive strategies in two species of spider crabs, Leurocyclus tuberculosus and Libinia spinosa
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2020-09)
Reproductive strategies vary according to season length, individual reproductive traits, and factors associated with the social context such as density and sex ratio of the individuals. The social context predicts the ...
Female asynchrony may drive disruptive sexual selection on male mating phenotypes in a Heliconius butterfly

Bio-inoculation of yerba mate seedlings (Ilex paraguariensis St. Hill.) with native plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria: a sustainable alternative to improve crop yield
(2015-08)
In this study, the role of native plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as bio-inoculants was assessed as an alternative to ameliorate Ilex paraguariensis St. Hill. growth in nursery comparing poorer (soil) versus ...
Male size-dependent dominance for burrow holding in the semiterrestrial crab Neohelice granulata: multiple tactics used by intermediate-sized males
(Springer, 2016-09-08)
Dominance and the establishment of social hierarchies are frequently related to size: the larger individuals gain greater reproductive success, while the smaller ones display alternative mating strategies. We studied the ...
A hypothesis about the origin of sperm storage in the Eubrachyura, the effects of seminal receptacle structure on mating strategies and the evolution of crab diversity: How did a race to be first become a race to be last?
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2011-10)
The origins and evolution of sperm storage in Brachyura are enigmatic: sperm is either stored in seminal receptacles, accessible via the vulvae on the sixth thoracic sternite, or in spermathecae at the border between the ...
