  • Sexual Selection Can Reduce Mutational Load in Drosophila Subobscura
    UDC 575 DOI: 10.2298/GENSR1302537V Original scientific paper SEXUAL SELECTION CAN REDUCE MUTATIONAL LOAD IN DROSOPHILA SUBOBSCURA Marija SAVI Ć VESELINOVI Ć1, Sofija PAVKOVI Ć-LU ČIĆ1, Zorana KURBALIJA NOVI ČIĆ2, Mihailo JELI Ć1, Marko AN ĐELKOVI Ć1,2,3 1 Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia 2 Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković”, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia 3 Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Belgrade, Serbia Veselinovi ć Savi ć M., S. Pavkovi ć Lu čić, Z. Kurbalija Novi čić, M. Jeli ć and M. An đelkovi ć (2013): Sexual selection can reduce mutational load in Drosophila subobscura. Genetika, Vol 45, No. 2, 537-552. According to theoretical predictions sexual selection can reduce mutational load through male mating success. Males of good genetic quality should be more successful in matings, compared to the males of low genetic quality, thus in this way females can prevent deleterious alleles to be transmitted to the next generation. We tested this hypothesis through set up of two experimental groups from same genetic pool, where in one group genetic quality was manipulated by ionizing radiation. Within each group opportunity for choosing mates was imposed: males and females had no choice or had multiple choice. Mutational load was measured through the variability of different fitness components: fecundity and egg-to-adult viability. Our results indicate that sexual selection can reduce mutational load, only for fecundity. Group with the presence of female choice exhibited higher fecundity than group in which sexual selection was experimentally eliminated, but only in “irradiated” group. There was no overall difference in egg-to-adult viability between different sexual selection regimes in any of the group.

  • Serbia in 2001 Under the Spotlight
    1 Human Rights in Transition – Serbia 2001 Introduction The situation of human rights in Serbia was largely influenced by the foregoing circumstances. Although the severe repression characteristic especially of the last two years of Milosevic’s rule was gone, there were no conditions in place for dealing with the problems accumulated during the previous decade. All the mechanisms necessary to ensure the exercise of human rights - from the judiciary to the police, remained unchanged. However, the major concern of citizens is the mere existential survival and personal security. Furthermore, the general atmosphere in the society was just as xenophobic and intolerant as before. The identity crisis of the Serb people and of all minorities living in Serbia continued. If anything, it deepened and the relationship between the state and its citizens became seriously jeopardized by the problem of Serbia’s undefined borders. The crisis was manifest with regard to certain minorities such as Vlachs who were believed to have been successfully assimilated. This false belief was partly due to the fact that neighbouring Romania had been in a far worse situation than Yugoslavia during the past fifty years. In considerably changed situation in Romania and Serbia Vlachs are now undergoing the process of self identification though still unclear whether they would choose to call themselves Vlachs or Romanians-Vlachs. Considering that the international factor has become the main generator of change in Serbia, the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia believes that an accurate picture of the situation in Serbia is absolutely necessary. It is essential to establish the differences between Belgrade and the rest of Serbia, taking into account its internal diversities.
