Such early learning of a Animal behaviour sexual preference is known as sexual imprinting. It is prevalent in birds (ten Cate & Vos 1999) and is also documented in mammals (Kendrick et al.1998). Early learning influences Females of haplochromine cichlid species show mouth brooding and continued protection of the species assortative mating brood after hatching. This might provide the offspring the opportunity to learn specific characters of their preferences in Lake mother. A few studies have addressed imprinting in cichlids (Siepen & Crapon de Caprona 1986; Barlow Victoria cichlid fish et al. 1990) but so far no clear examples of parental Machteld N.

Simultaneous disruptive selection by female mate choice and male-male competition can, in theory, lead to speciation without geographical isolation if both act on the same male trait. Female mate choice can generate discontinuities in gene flow, while male-male competition can generate negative frequency-dependent selection stabilizing the male trait polymor- phism. Speciation may be facilitated when mating preference and/or aggression bias are physically linked to the trait they operate on. We tested for genetic associations among female mating preference, male aggression bias and male coloration in the Lake Victoria cichlid Pundamilia. -

Exten- sive intra- and interspecific variation in male nuptial coloration and female mating preferences, in the absence of postzygotic isolation between species, has inspired the hypothesis that sexual selection has been a driving force in the origin of this species flock. This hypothesis rests on the premise that the phenotypic traits that underlie behavioural reproductive isolation between sister species diverged under sexual selection within a species. We test this premise in a Lake Victoria cichlid, by using laboratory experiments and field observations. -

Mitochondrial genomes of 26 cichlid species were amplified by long-range PCR followed by the 454 pyrosequencing on a GS Roche Junior platform. The primers for long-range PCR were designed specifically in the mitogenomic regions with low interspecific variability. The whole mitogenome of most species was amplified as three fragments using the following primer sets: for the region between position 2 500 bp and 7 300 bp (of mitogenome starting with tRNA-Phe), we used forward primers ZM2500F (5'-ACG ACC TCG ATG TTG GAT CAG GAC ATC C-3'), L2508KAW (Kawaguchi et al. 2001) or S-LA-16SF (Miya & Nishida 2000) and reverse primer ZM7350R (5'-TTA AGG CGT GGT CGT GGA AGT GAA GAA G-3'). The region between 7 300 bp and 12 300 bp was amplified using primers ZM7300F (5'-GCA CAT CCC TCC CAA CTA GGW TTT CAA GAT GC-3') and ZM12300R (5'-TTG CAC CAA GAG TTT TTG GTT CCT AAG ACC-3'). -
Evolution by Natural Selection Occurs Whenever
Selection in the lab Drs. Denis Bourguet and Michael Whitlock are currently performing an evolution experiment in the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster, at UBC. A large population of D. melanogaster has been maintained in the lab since 1970, after having been collected in Benin (Western Africa). This lab population has experienced very similar lab conditions for nearly thirty years. As part of a larger experiment, Bourguet and Whitlock started ten lines of flies from this population in February 1997: • Five control lines • Five selected lines Every generation, 500 male flies of a line were placed in the starting vial (lacking food) of a maze. Vial 1 Vial 2 Vial 3 Vial 4 Vial 5 Vial 0 Vial 6 Vial 7 Vial 8 Vial 9 Vial 10 After 24 hours, flies were collected from the ten vials (with food) at the other end of the maze. Control lines: Flies from the ten output vials were mixed and 50 males were randomly chosen to reproduce. Selected lines: The fifty males in the highest vials were selected to reproduce (selection for "positive geotaxis"). In each case, the fifty chosen males were allowed to mate with 50 unselected females from the same line, and the process was repeated with their offspring. What do you expect to have happened?
