Mating behaviors and multiple mating in the firebrat, Thermobia domestica (Zygentoma: Lepismatidae)
While most terrestrial animals undergo internal fertilization, some insects use external transfer of sperm during mating. Among these are insects...

Does female control and male mating system predict courtship investment and mating outcomes? A comparative study in five widow spider species (genus Latrodectus) tested under similar laboratory conditions
BackgroundMale courtship investment may evolve in response to the male’s expectation of future mating opportunities or the degree of female control...

Mating system and inbreeding depression in Hymenaea stigonocarpa
In tree species, inbreeding due to selfing or biparental mating may decrease offspring adaptation and growth due to inbreeding depression (ID)....

Mating types of Fusarium fujikuroi from bakanae disease of rice in Bangladesh
Sixteen isolates of Fusarium fujikuroi from bakanae disease of rice in Bangladesh were examined for the presence of both mating types. Seven isolates...

Mating alters the food choices of adult ladybird beetle (Propylea dissecta mulsant)
Mating alters nutritional and energetic needs which result in behavioural and physiological changes related to reproduction. But little is known as...

Characteristics of breeding habitat, genetic mating system, and determinants of male mating success in the sponge-dwelling goby Elacatinus lori
AbstractDetermining the patterns and causes of variation in reproductive success is key to understanding mating systems and sexual selection, but...

Glucose depletion enables Candida albicans mating independently of the epigenetic white-opaque switch
The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans can switch stochastically and heritably between a “white” phase and an “opaque” phase. Opaque cells are...

Fight outcome influences male mating success in Drosophila prolongata
The outcomes of preceding fights can influence the probability of winning a subsequent fight, known as the winner/loser effect. However, we know...

Characterization of mating type, spore killing, and pathogenicity of Fusarium verticillioides populations from maize in China
Sexual reproduction in fungi promotes genetic diversity and helps the fungus to adapt to environmental stresses. Fusarium verticillioides is a...

Relationships of wingtip shape, song-flight and mating success in male black-headed buntings Emberiza melanocephala
Wing design in birds is the result of different and potentially opposing natural selection pressures, such as those related to migration, predator...

Gamete dimorphism of the isogamous green alga (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii), is regulated by the mating type-determining gene, MID
The gametes of chlorophytes differ morphologically even in isogamy and are divided into two types (α and β) based on the mating type- or sex-specific...
