    Notes: [Auszug] THE introduction of the concept of inclusive fitness by Hamilton1 in 1964 led to a revolution in thinking about the evolution of social behaviour, by making clear how selection can act on a gene through its effects on its bearer's relatives. This led to a better understanding of the evolution of ...

    Notes: [Auszug] IN whose interest does an animal or plant behave? Evolutionary theorists believe that the workings of natural selection ensure that organisms act as if they were maximizing their reproduction (or more precisely, a weighted sum of their own and their relatives' reproduction). So although some kinds ...

    Notes: [Auszug] The Gradgrindian view of science — facts come first, ideas later — is rarely true, and there are few more direct demonstrations of that than the discovery of a phenomenon that previously existed only in theory. Genetics is rich in such phenomena, and an example is provided on page ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THE darwinian principal of natural selection was extended by Hamilton in 1964 to the evolution of social behaviour1. This extension is central to much of today's evolutionary biology, but it is something of a sport among mathematical biologists to cast doubt on its validity. Now David Queller, ...

    Notes: [Auszug] SIR—Loci at which directed mutation takes place (see Cairns et al.') are likely to be 'heritable soma'. That is, although the contents are inherited, the information they contain is not potentially immortal, and so the loci are not germ plasm. Mutations at those loci will ...

    Notes: [Auszug] IN a recent paper, Harvey and Zammuto1 pointed out that variation in age at first reproduction among female mammals is strongly correlated with expectation of life at birth, even after the effects of body size have been removed. We wish to make three points about the interpretation of that ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Do mice recognize their kin? They are known to discriminate between conspeci-fics through the products encoded by the highly polymorphic loci of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)1; the MHC is not only involved in immune recognition, but also affects an indi-vidual's odour profile. There ...

    Sex ratios and life-history patterns of a solitary wasp, Trypoxylon (Trypargilum) politum (Hymenoptera : Sphecidae) (1992)

    Notes: Summary Werren and Charnov (1978) and Seger (1983) proposed a model to explain a fairly common pattern of alternating sex ratio biases between generations in partially bivoltine insects. When first-generation males overlap and mate with females of the second generation, then females should bias sex ratios in favor of sons for the first generation and daughters for the second generation. In an intensive, 7-year study at four sites in northern Florida, pipe-organ mud-daubing wasps (Trypoxylon (Trypargilum) politum; Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) were found to have strongly male-biased sex ratios in the first or overwintering generation and 1:1 or female-biased sex ratios in the second or summer generation. These differences were not due to differences in mortality of the two sexes but rather resulted from changing female sex-allocation decisions. In some respects the mud dauber results fit Seger's model well: alternating sex ratios in partially bivoltine populations, first-generation males overlapping second-generation females and perhaps most convincingly, northern, univoltine populations do not have a male bias. Despite this qualitative fit, however, our data do not meet the quantitative predictions of the model. This could result from the fact that some assumptions of the model are not met by the life history of T. politum. Alternative explanations for alternating sex ratios include split sex ratios, seasonal differences in cost ratios, facultative maternal investment rules and facultative overwintering decisions by offspring. Despite the position that sex ratios have achieved in the modern study of evolution, it is clear that accurate, quantitative predictions on sex-allocation patterns demand the same detailed understanding of the biology of the organism that is required for the study of other adaptations.
