  • 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.

  • Eu Economic and Social Policies Reconsidered
    University American College Skopje Eight Annual Conference on European Integration University American College Skopje Eight Annual Conference on European Integration Will the deepening of European integration within Europe lead to a European super-state, a federation or something else? If the EU were to close its doors on external immigration in the future would it put future economic development at risk? How can economic diplomacy serve as a strategy for sustainable economic growth? Has the EU transformed the crisis into an opportunity for investment in promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency as a means of achieving sustainable growth? How have the interconnectedness and the ever-growing interdependency of the European countries set in motion the vast number of processes that ultimately led to the current financial crisis?
