Journal ArticleDOI
Vitellogenin, juvenile hormone, insulin signaling, and queen honey bee longevity.
Miguel Corona,Rodrigo A. Velarde,Silvia C. Remolina,Adrienne Moran-Lauter,Ying Wang,Kimberly A. Hughes,Gene E. Robinson +6 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that caste-specific differences in Vg expression are involved in queen longevity is supported and conserved and species-specific mechanisms interact to regulate queen bee longevity without sacrificing fecundity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-adaptive plasticity potentiates rapid adaptive evolution of gene expression in nature
Cameron K. Ghalambor,Kim L. Hoke,Emily W. Ruell,Eva K. Fischer,David N. Reznick,Kimberly A. Hughes +5 more
TL;DR: The results support models predicting that adaptive plasticity constrains evolution, whereas non-adaptive plasticity potentiates evolution by increasing the strength of directional selection, and suggest that it may be an important mechanism that predicts evolutionary responses to new environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Experimental Study of Inbreeding Depression in a Natural Habitat
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that inbreeding had a significant detrimental effect on the survivorship of mice reintroduced into a natural habitat, and was more severe than the effect observed in laboratory studies of the population.
Journal ArticleDOI
A possible non-sexual origin of mate preference: are male guppies mimicking fruit?
TL;DR: Results support the ‘sensory–bias’ hypothesis for the evolution of mating preferences by showing both an association between a potential trigger of a mate–choice preference and a sexually selected trait, and also that an innate attraction to a coloured inanimate object explains almost all of the observed variation in female mate choice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary and mechanistic theories of aging
TL;DR: A concise review of both evolutionary and mechanistic theories of aging is presented, describing the development of the general evolutionary theory, along with the mutation accumulation, antagonistic pleiotropy, and disposable soma versions of the evolutionary model.
