- 在Lepidoptera中,雄性提供精子;处女雄性提供更大,更有营养的礼物.
- 通过化学线索检测雄性交配状态可以提高雌性生殖健康.
研究的目的:
- 为了调查Lobesia botrana雌性是否可以歧视雄性交配经验.
- 为了确定暴露于雌性激素或皮质化合物是否会影响雄性交配的成功.
主要方法:
- 处女雄性Lobesia botrana被暴露在女性性激素或皮质化合物中.
- 然后,暴露的雄性被呈现给接受性的雌性,可以选择与未暴露的处女雄性.
- 男性的交配成功和交配持续时间在暴露后12小时和48小时记录下来.
主要成果:
- 暴露于雌性线索的雄性在暴露后12小时内不太可能交配.
- 在48小时后,只有暴露于性费洛蒙的雄性才显示出减少交配成功.
- 交配的持续时间有所不同,暴露于费罗蒙的雄性在12h时长时间交配,暴露于皮质的雄性在48h时长时间交配.
结论:
- 雌性Lobesia botrana可能会使用化学线索来评估雄性交配经验.
- 性费洛蒙似乎是男性交配历史的更持久的信号.
- 需要进一步的研究来阐明这种歧视背后的生理机制.

Mate Choice
8.0K
Mate choice—the decision about whom to mate with—is a type of natural selection, since animals must reproduce to pass down their genes. Mate choice is also called intersexual selection because the behavior occurs between the sexes.

Pollination and Flower Structure
64.0K
Flowers are the reproductive, seed-producing structures of angiosperms. Typically, flowers consist of sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. Sepals and petals are the vegetative flower organs. Stamens and carpels are the reproductive organs.

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
6.5K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Natural Selection and Mating Preferences
101
The principle of natural selection posits that organisms better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This principle is closely intertwined with mating preferences, a key aspect of sexual selection, which evolutionary psychologists believe is driven by instincts to propagate one's genes. Such instincts significantly influence mating behaviors and preferences between genders.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
3.3K
A complete procedure for testing a claim about a population proportion is provided here.
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
