In sexually reproducing organisms, conflicts of interest among family members are
inevitable. The intensity of these conflicts depends upon the opportunities for parents and …

Proposed benefits of multiple paternity include increased reproductive output, elevated
fitness of progeny, and maintenance of population genetic diversity. However, another …

We studied the frequency of multiple paternity for American lobster (Homarus americanus) at
three Canadian sites differing in exploitation rate and mean adult size. The probability of …

With the availability of highly variable microsatellite loci, many previously elusive aspects of
the lives of animals have been revealed. One important finding is that multiple paternity (MP) …

We tested for presence or absence of multiple paternity in single litters from each of three
congeneric shark species in Hawaii: the sandbar shark, Carcharhinus plumbeus, bignose …

Reproductive strategy is a central feature of the ecology of invasive species as it determines
the potential for population increase and range expansion. The red swamp crayfish …

Hypotheses to explain chaotic genetic structure (ie, a surprising degree of nongeographic
temporal or spatial population differentiation) include 1) variation in source of larval recruits …

Les systèmes de reproduction des élasmobranches suscitent de plus en plus d'intérêt
depuis quelques années à cause de la surexploitation des populations de requins à …

Background Molecular genetic analyses of parentage provide insights into mating systems.
Although there are 22,000 members in Malacostraca, not much has been known about …

Microsatellites were used to determine paternity of Metacarcinus magister (Dana 1852), the
Dungeness crab, embryos produced through controlled laboratory matings. Additionally …
