Testosterone, testes size, and mating success in birds: a comparative study
László Zsolt Garamszegi,Marcel Eens,S. Hurtrez-Bousses,S. Hurtrez-Bousses,Anders Pape Møller +4 more
TL;DR: Interspecific patterns of circulating testosterone in male birds are investigated to test the hypothesis that testosterone plays a crucial role in sexual selection as determined by degree of polygyny and extra-pair paternity and a positive association is found between peak and residual peak testosterone and testes size relative to body size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Significance levels in complex inheritance.
TL;DR: The method sketched here combines multipoint linkage and allelic association to test efficiently for a regional candidate locus and remains the only practical method to locate polygenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localization of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for agronomic important characters by the use of a RFLP map in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.).
TL;DR: Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were determined and localized for resistance against Rhynchosporium secalis and Erysiphe graminis, for lodging, stalk breaking and ear breaking tendency, for the physical state before harvest, plant height, heading date, several kernel parameters and kernel yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple genetic mechanisms for the evolution of senescence in Drosophila melanogaster
E. W. Hutchinson,Michael R. Rose +1 more
TL;DR: No significant response in early‐age fecundity or starvation resistance was observed in the controlled‐density reverse‐selection lines, supporting previous observations that selection on Drosophila life‐history characters is critically sensitive to larval rearing density.
Journal ArticleDOI
The phylogenetic component of cooperative breeding in perching birds
Scott V. Edwards,Shahid Naeem +1 more
TL;DR: The taxonomic distribution of CB among passerine genera has been investigated in the context of phylogenetic trees as mentioned in this paper, and it has been shown that many lineages experience evolutionary forces promoting long-term stasis in life histories conducive to CB in addition to better-characterized environmental responses modifying its short-term expression.
