In many animal species, some males exhibit an Alternative Reproductive Tactic (ART) that differs from conventional tactics. For example, if most males defend reproductive territories, males that exhibit ARTs can act as satellites or even mimic females to invade such territories. When more than one reproductive tactic is successfully employed by males in a population, disruptive selection …
Male mate choice occurs when sexual investment by males in either mating of parental effort is very high. Among gift giving species, it is expected that males would be choosy during mate selection because the gift is costly to produce. In this research, we tested whether males of the gift giving spider Paratrechalea ornata adjust their reproductive investment (i.e., gift size, courtship i…
This research aims to unravel the genetic underpinnings of phenotypic plasticity in the mite Rhizoglyphus echinopus, which exhibits two male morphs: fighters and scramblers. While fighter males possess modified legs for fighting, scramblers lack these traits. Using artificial selection techniques, the research explores the unobservable aspects of plastic traits, such as genetic thresholds…
