Summary We examined associations among parasite infections, secondary sexual traits and testosterone in male red-winged blackbirds sampled at the start of the breeding season. Parasites quantified included ectoparasitic lice and mites and endoparasitic blood protozoans, nematodes, trematodes and cestodes. Secondary sexual traits that we quantified included body size, epaulet size and color, song repertoire size and song switching rate, and behavioral responses to male and female models. Overall we found few significant associations between parasites and secondary sexual traits, between secondary sexual traits and testosterone, or between parasites and testosterone. In addition, most parasite taxa appeared to infect birds independently, although the low prevalence (<50%) of many of the parasites meant that our sample sizes were too small to detect weak associations. Our most promising results were obtained for ectoparasitic mites, which tended to occur on birds uninfected with other parasites, on birds with longer epaulets, and on birds with higher levels of testosterone. Epaulet length and testosterone are both probable correlates of dominance in this species. Further research will be required to determine whether there is a causal link between the immunosuppressive effects of testosterone and the mite infections, and between testosterone, epaulet length and male mating success.

The operational sex ratio (OSR) may influence the intensity of competition for mates and mate choice and is therefore thought
to be a major factor predicting the intensity and direction of sexual selection. We studied the opportunity for sexual selection,
i.e., the variance in male reproductive success and the direction and intensity of sexual selection on male body mass in bank
vole (Clethrionomys glareolus) enclosure populations with experimentally manipulated sex ratios. The opportunity for sexual selection was high among male-biased
OSRs and decreased towards female-biased OSRs. Paradoxically, selection for large male body mass was strongest in female-biased
OSRs and also considerable at intermediate OSRs, whereas at male-biased OSRs, only a weak relationship between male size and
reproductive success was found. Litters in male-biased OSRs were more likely to be sired by multiple males than litters in
female-biased OSRs. Our results suggest that the intensity and direction of sexual selection in males differs among different
OSRs. Although the direction of sexual selection on male body mass was opposite than predicted, large body mass can be favored
by sexual selection. Naturally varying OSRs may therefore contribute to maintain variation in male sexually selected traits. 相似文献

In males, the acquisition and development of behavioral and morphological secondary sexual traits typically depends on testosterone and correlates with mating success. Testosterone level could affect competition for mates and thus be a target of sexual selection. We sought to relate testosterone levels to male mating competitiveness, by teasing apart the relationships between testosterone, behavior, and growth before the mating period. We monitored 24 adult bighorn rams (Ovis canadensis) at Ram Mountain, Alberta, from 2008 to 2011. Using linear mixed models, we tested the relationships between testosterone metabolites in feces, social rank, and both growth and size of two sexually selected traits: horns and body mass. The correlation between testosterone and social rank varied with age. Testosterone and rank were weakly and negatively correlated for young rams, positively correlated for prime-aged rams, and negatively correlated for older rams. Although testosterone had an increasingly positive effect on total horn length until 8 years of age, we could not detect any effects on annual growth rate of horns or body mass. Testosterone may be related to male’s ability to compete for mates through its relationship with behaviors determining social rank, rather than by influencing the development of morphological traits. Differences in testosterone levels among competitors may be a proximate cause of variance in fitness. 相似文献

Seasonal variation in the relationship between cellular immune response and badge size in male house sparrows (Passer domesticus) 总被引:7,自引:2,他引:5

The immunocompetence handicap hypothesis postulates that secondary sexual traits are honest signals of male quality because
steroid hormones (such as corticosteroids and sex steroids), which are supposed to favor the development of secondary sexual
traits, may also have immunosuppressive effects. Certain secondary sexual traits are not only used as mate choice signals
but also play a role as badges of status. In the house sparrow (Passer domesticus), males have a bib of black feathers which is used both as a signal of social status in male-male interactions and by females
when choosing a mate. We investigated the relationships between bib size and cellular immune response in male house sparrows
during and outside the reproductive season. Males with large badges were found to have lower levels of immunocompetence, as
assessed using a T-cell-mediated immunity assay, during the reproductive season, as predicted by the immunocompetence handicap
hypothesis. Conversely, in November, the correlation between badge size and cellular immune response was positive, possibly
reflecting the better access to trophic resources of large-badged dominant males in winter flocks.

Female preference for mates with elaborated ornaments has often been explained on the basis that exaggerated secondary sexual traits might reflect individual quality and females might gather direct and indirect benefits in mating with such males. Sexual signals must however also entail costs to be reliable indicators of male quality. Androgens have been suggested as a physiological link between sexual signals and individual quality for several reasons, including their immunosuppressive effect. In this study, we tested two hypotheses linked to the hormonal basis of sexual signal expression. First, we investigated whether testosterone is correlated with the size of the black feather bib on the throat of male house sparrows (Passer domesticus) - a trait involved in intra- and inter-sexual selection. Second, we tested whether testosterone affects the seasonal exposure of the trait. Observational work conducted in 1998 showed that the testosterone level was positively correlated with badge size both in spring and in the subsequent fall, after molt. In 1999, we experimentally reduced spring testosterone levels using silastic implants filled with cyproterone acetate, an antiandrogen. Male house sparrows implanted with cyproterone acetate showed reduced exposure of the badge, because the white tips of the black feathers of the badge wore off later than in control males implanted with empty silastic tubes. This result suggests that testosterone can be causally involved in the expression of a secondary sexual trait in house sparrows, at least in terms of its seasonal exposure. 相似文献

The reproductive cycles of the serpulid polychaetes Pomatoceros lamarckii (Quatrefages, 1865, as Vermilia) and P. triqueter (Linnaeus, 1767, as Serpula triquetra) were studied by histological examination during 1999 and 2000 at Bantry Bay, south-west Ireland. Gametogenesis, sex ratios and hermaphroditism were also investigated. The male/female ratio in P. lamarckii was approximately equal, but in P. triqueter it deviated significantly in favour of females. There was no significant variation in the sex ratios throughout the year in either species. Results confirm that the species are protandric hermaphrodites. In P. lamarckii, but not in P. triqueter, sexual dimorphism was exhibited in body size, the females being larger than the males of the same species. In both species, the proportion of females increased with increasing body size. Simultaneous hermaphroditism was recorded in P. lamarckii, but not in P. triqueter. There was no clearly defined annual gametogenic cycle in either species. Both species appear to have an extended reproductive season, with numerous small-scale peaks in reproductive maturity that can vary annually. Spawning was broadly synchronous between sexes. Visual observation alone (i.e. without histology) was insufficient to accurately assess reproductive condition in individuals not in, or close to, a ripe state. 相似文献

In a variety of taxa, male reproductive success is positively related to the expression of costly traits such as large body
size, ornaments, armaments, and aggression. These traits are thought to improve male competitive ability and, thus, access
to limited reproductive resources. Females of many species also express competitive traits. However, we know very little about
the consequences of individual variation in competitive traits and the mechanisms that regulate their expression in females.
Consequently, it is currently unclear whether females express competitive traits owing to direct selection or as an indirect
result of selection on males. Here, we examine females of a mildly dimorphic songbird (Junco hyemalis) to determine whether females show positive covariance in traits (morphology and behavior) that may be important in a competition.
We also examine whether trait expression relates either to testosterone (T) in terms of mechanism or to reproductive success
in terms of function. We found that larger females were more aggressive and that greater ability to produce T in response
to a physiological challenge consisting of a standardized injection of gonadotropin-releasing hormone predicted some measures
of female body size and aggression. Finally, we found that aggressive females had greater reproductive success. We conclude
that T may influence female phenotype and that females may benefit from expressing a competitive phenotype. We also suggest
that the mild dimorphism observed in many species may be due in part to direct selection on females rather than simply a correlated
response to selection in males. 相似文献

Hormone-mediated maternal effects play an important role in the formation of a differentiated phenotype. They have been shown
to influence a wide array of offspring traits, both early in life and in adulthood. One important offspring trait that is
under the influence of maternal androgens is the immune system. In birds, a growing number of studies show that yolk androgens
modulate immune function during the chick stage. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding long-term effects of prenatal
androgens on offspring immunity. In this study, we therefore investigated the influence of prenatal testosterone (T) on several
measures of immunity in fledgling and adult zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata). Cell-mediated immune response (towards phytohaemagglutinin, PHA) of fledglings hatching from control eggs was negatively
related to brood size, whereas there was no such association for fledglings hatching from eggs with experimentally elevated
T levels (T fledglings). Male control fledglings showed reduced mass gain compared to female control fledglings within 24 h
after the PHA injection. This pattern was reversed in T fledglings. Total antibody levels in fledglings were not affected
by egg treatment. Neither cell-mediated immunity nor total antibody levels in sexually mature zebra finches were influenced
by egg treatment. However, there was an immuno-enhancing effect of elevated egg T on both primary and secondary humoral immune
responses toward diphtheria and tetanus antigens in ca 5 and 7 month old zebra finches. In addition, the covariation between
different immune components differed between T and control offspring, suggesting that egg treatment may have altered the potential
trade-offs between different parts of the immune system. Our results suggest that prenatal androgens could be an important
factor contributing to individual variation in immune function even in adulthood. 相似文献

Sexual selection via female choice can afford preferred males comparably higher mating success than those males that lack preferred traits. In addition, many models of sexual selection assume that both male traits and female preferences are heritable. In this study we test whether females of the poeciliid fish, Heterandria formosa, have repeatable pre-copulatory preferences for larger males. We also test whether female pre-copulatory preferences are always reliable indicators of male mating success. When given a choice between a large and a small male, females prefer larger males, and the repeatability of this preference is high. Although there are no overall differences in male mating success between large and small males, large males have a higher mating success when they are the first to mate than when they are the second to mate. Likewise, preferred males also have higher mating success when they are the first to mate than when they mate second. Therefore, the repeatable female preferences observed in this study only predict male mating success when the preferred male mates first. These results illustrate that even significantly repeatable female preferences do not translate into male mating success, which is an assumption of many examinations of the importance of female choice in sexual selection. 相似文献

Sexual size dimorphism may evolve as a result of both natural and sexual selection. In polygynous mammals, the main factor resulting in the evolution of large body size in males is the advantage conferred during competition for mates. In this study, we examined whether sexual selection acts on body size in mature fallow bucks (Dama dama) by examining how the following traits are inter-related: age, body (skeletal) size, body mass, prerut dominance rank, rut dominance rank and mating success. This is the first study to examine how all these factors are together related to the mating success of a large sexually dimorphic and polygynous mammal. We found that male mating success was directly related to body size, but not to body mass. However body mass was related to prerut dominance rank which was in turn strongly related to rut dominance rank, and thus there was an indirect relationship between mating success and body mass. Rut dominance rank was the variable most strongly related to mating success. Mating success among mature males was unrelated to age. We conclude that larger mature fallow bucks have advantages over other males when competing for matings, and sexual selection therefore continues to act on sexual size dimorphism in this species. Heavier fallow bucks also have advantages, but these are mediated through the dominance ranks attained by males before the rut. 相似文献

Mothers may profoundly affect offspring phenotype and performance by adjusting egg components, including steroid hormones.
We studied the effects of elevated prenatal testosterone (T) exposure in the ring-necked pheasant on the expression of a suite
of male and female traits, including perinatal response to stress, immune response, growth, and secondary sexual traits. Prenatal
T levels were increased by injecting the yolk of unincubated eggs with physiological doses of the hormone. Yolk T injection
resulted in a reduced length of male tarsal spurs, a trait which positively predicts male success in intra- and intersexual
selection and viability, whereas no direct effect on male wattle characteristics or plumage traits of either sex was observed.
Female spur length was also negatively affected by T, but to a lesser extent than in males. In addition, the covariation between
male secondary sexual traits, which are reliable quality indicators, differed between T and control males, suggesting that
the manipulation may have altered the assessment of overall male quality by other males and females. In conclusion, the negative
effects of elevated yolk T on spur length, a trait which positively predicts male fitness, coupled with the lack of effects
on growth or other traits in both sexes, provided limited evidence for mothers being subjected to a trade-off between positive
and negative consequences of yolk T deposition on offspring traits and suggest that directional selection for reduced yolk
T levels may occur in the ring-necked pheasant. 相似文献

Bird song is considered to have evolved via sexual selection and should as such honestly signal aspects of the quality of its bearer. To ensure honesty, the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis proposed a dual role of testosterone, having positive effects on sexual signalling but suppressive effects on immune function. However, recent studies showed that it is rather an immune activation that suppresses the androgen production. This reversed chain of causation may significantly alter the pathways, which translate the effects of parasites and pathogens into changes in the expression of male sexual traits. We infested male canaries with Ixodes ricinus tick nymphs to investigate the causal relationships between (ecto-)parasites, testosterone and sexual signalling, here singing behaviour. We focused on flexible song traits, which may quickly reflect changes in the infestation status, and tested whether these effects relate to changes in the plasma testosterone levels or health state. The experimental tick infestation altered the males’ song performance by reducing song consistency, a trait that had previously been identified to reflect male quality. The tick infestation lowered the plasma testosterone levels and had a negative effect on the health status in terms of a reduced hematocrit. Our pathway analysis then revealed that it is the parasite-induced reduction of the plasma testosterone levels but not of the health state that caused the changes in song consistency. Thus, our study supports the view that it is the effect of parasites and immune activation on plasma testosterone levels that generates the trade-off between immunocompetence and sexual signalling. 相似文献

Transfer of maternal hormones to the eggs is a major source of offspring phenotypic variation. The developmental and organizational
effects of egg hormones can extend into adulthood and affect behavioral and morphological traits involved in sexual and reproductive
behavior, with important consequences for offspring fitness. In this study, we injected testosterone (T) in egg albumen of
captive ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) eggs. We then assessed the consequences for chick growth, cell-mediated immunity, and multiple male secondary sexual traits
at maturity by comparison with a control group. We also compared the covariation between traits in the two experimental groups.
We found that control males had redder wattles than males from T-injected eggs, suggesting that attractiveness and reproductive
success of the offspring might vary depending on maternal transfer of T to the eggs. T treatment also modified the covariation
between cell-mediated immunity and wattle coloration and between the area of the wattle and the expression of another secondary
sexual trait, the ear tufts. These effects are likely to translate into fitness differences among the offspring if mate acquisition
depends on the simultaneous expression of several traits that are differentially affected by the same maternal contribution.
Maternal effects mediated by egg hormones might affect the fitness of the offspring not only by directional modification of
phenotypic traits, but also by facilitating or inhibiting their covariation. This suggests the possibility that female choice
based on the relative expression of multiple secondary sexual traits exerts a pressure on how maternal transfer of androgens
contributes to developmental programs. 相似文献

Life-history theory predicts that individuals should increase their reproductive effort when the fitness return from reproduction is high. Females mated with high-quality males are therefore expected to have higher investment than females mated with low-quality males, which could bias estimates of paternal effects. Investigating the traits females use in their allocation decisions and the aspects of reproduction that are altered is essential for understanding how sexual selection is affected. We studied the potential for differential female allocation in a captive population of a precocial bird, the Chinese quail, Coturnix chinensis. Females paired with males with large sexual ornaments laid larger, but not more, eggs than females paired with males with small sexual ornaments. Furthermore, female egg mass was also significantly positively affected by male testis size, probably via some unknown effect of testis size on male phenotype. Testis size and ornament size were not correlated. Thus, both primary and secondary male sexual traits could be important components of female allocation decisions. Experimental manipulation of hormone levels during embryonic development showed that both male and female traits influencing female egg size were sensitive to early hormone exposure. Differences in prenatal hormone exposure as a result of maternal steroid allocation to eggs may explain some of the variation in reproductive success among individuals, with important implications for non-genetic transgenerational effects in sexual selection.Communicated by C.

When males become more ornamented and reproduce more successfully as they grow older, phenotypic correlations between ornament
exaggeration and reproductive success can be confounded with age effects in cross-sectional studies, and thus say relatively
little about sexual selection on these traits. This is exemplified here in a correlative study of male fertilization success
in a large colony of American barn swallows (Hirundo rustica erythrogaster). Previous studies of this species have indicated that two sexually dimorphic traits, tail length and ventral plumage coloration,
are positively correlated with male fertilization success, and a mechanism of sexual selection by female choice has been invoked.
However, these studies did not control for potential age-related variation in trait expression. Here, we show that male fertilization
success was positively correlated with male tail length but not with plumage coloration. We also show that 1-year-old males
had shorter tails and lower fertilization success than older males. This age effect accounted for much of the covariance between
tail length and fertilization success. Still, there was a positive relationship between tail length and fertilization success
among older males. But as this group consisted of males from different age classes, an age effect may be hidden in this relationship
as well. Our data also revealed a longitudinal increase in both tail length and fertilization success for individual males.
We argue that age-dependent ornament expression and reproductive performance in males complicate inferences about female preferences
and sexual selection. 相似文献

Sexual selection and species recognition play important roles in mate choice; however, sexual selection preferences may overlap with traits found in heterospecifics, producing a conflict between sexual selection and species recognition. We examined female preferences in Xiphophorus pygmaeus for male traits that could provide both types of information to determine how females use multiple cues when preferences for these cues would conflict. We also examined X. pygmaeus behavior in the field to determine if females have the opportunity to choose mates. As no male-male competition was observed in the field, and females occasionally chased males from feeding areas, females apparently have the opportunity to exercise mate choice in their natural habitat. In the laboratory, female X. pygmaeus used body size as a sexual selection cue, preferring large heterospecifics (X. cortezi) to small conspecifics. Females also preferred barless X. cortezi over barred X. cortezi when males were size matched. Because X. pygmaeus males do not have bars, this preference suggests that X. pygmaeus females use vertical bars in species recognition, and that large body size and vertical bars are conflicting cues. However, X. pygmaeus females did not have a preference for males of either species when sexual selection and species recognition cues were presented concurrently. This result was surprising, because preferences for species recognition cues are often assumed to be stronger than sexual selection cues. We suggest that females may be using additional species-specific cues in mate choice to prevent hybridization. 相似文献

Homeobox genes regulate development of digits, and it has been suggested that the ratio of length of second to length of fourth
digit reflects such genetic effects in a sex-specific manner. We show that digit ratios in the sexually dichromatic house
sparrow Passer domesticus differ between sexes, with males having higher ratios than females, and that individuals produce consistent ratios on the
two feet. If Homeobox or other genes had pleiotropic effects on development of digits, behavior, and physiology of males and
females, we would expect secondary sexual characters and immunity to be related to digit ratio in a sex-specific manner. The
size of the visible part of the black badge in February (a secondary sexual character), but not total badge size, was positively
correlated with digit ratios, suggesting that males with more male-like digit ratios had larger visible badges. Because of
sex-specific effects of development on secondary sexual characters and immunity, we predicted sex-specific differences in
immune response to be related to digit ratio. House sparrows with large digit ratios had weaker T cell-mediated immune response
than individuals with small digit ratios, particularly in females, implying that females with more male-like digit ratios
had weak immune responses. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that early development, as reflected by digit
ratios, and genetics affect the expression of adult characters that are supposedly strongly contributing to fitness. 相似文献

A comprehensive understanding of sexual selection requires knowledge of the traits and mechanisms responsible for increasing a male’s paternity share (proportion of progeny sired) relative to that of other males mating with the same female. In this study we manipulated by starvation the expression of traits that might influence male paternity share in Tribolium castaneum. We then conducted experiments to examine how male starvation affects male performance during sequential episodes of sexual selection from mating to progeny production, and investigated female control over specific stages by using live vs dead females. Comparison of starved vs fed males revealed that T. castaneum females have control over spermatophore transfer during mating, as live females rejected inseminations by starved (“low quality”) males. None of the measured male copulatory behaviors (leg-rubbing frequency, asymmetry, and percent of time spent rubbing) affected the probability of successful insemination, but the last two were positively associated with male paternity share. Spermatophore positioning within the female reproductive tract was not affected by male treatment (starved/fed), by female treatment (live/dead), or by male copulatory behaviors. Starvation, however, had a dramatic effect on male reproductive physiology, decreasing both accessory gland size and total number of sperms transferred (but not sperm viability in seminal vesicles). In addition, females who mated to starved males stored fewer sperms in their spermathecae, which, together with decreased ejaculate size, may explain the reduced paternity share of starved males compared to fed males. This study elucidates some cryptic mechanisms influencing male reproductive success and aids our understanding of trait evolution through sexual selection. 相似文献

The theory of life history evolution assumes trade-offs between competing fitness traits such as reproduction, somatic growth,
and maintenance. One prediction of this theory is that if large individuals have a higher reproductive success, small/young
individuals should invest less in reproduction and allocate more resources in growth than large/old individuals. We tested
this prediction using the common toad (Bufo bufo), a species where mating success of males is positively related to their body size. We measured testes mass, soma mass, and
sperm stock size in males of varying sizes that were either (1) re-hibernated at the start of the breeding season, (2) kept
without females throughout the breeding season, or (3) repeatedly provided with gravid females. In the latter group, we also
estimated fertilization success and readiness to re-mate. Contrary to our predictions, the relationship between testes mass
and soma mass was isometric, sperm stock size relative to testes mass was unrelated to male size, fertilization success was
not higher in matings with larger males, and smaller males were not less likely to engage in repeated matings than larger
males. These results consistently suggest that smaller males did not invest less in reproduction to be able to allocate more
in growth than larger males. Causes for this unexpected result may include relatively low year-to-year survival, unpredictable
between-year variation in the strength of sexual selection and low return rates of lowered reproductive investment. 相似文献

A tradeoff between immune response and life history traits, in particular growth rate, has been documented in various bird
species. Ostriches are fast-growing birds and a typical feature of cohorts is that offspring often differ greatly in size.
We investigated the relationship between hatching date and growth rate of chicks and both cell-mediated (measured using a
phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) injection) and humoral immune responses in ostrich chicks maintained on a research farm. Chicks
with higher growth rates had intermediate responses to both diphtheria and tetanus toxoids. By contrast, no relation between
growth rates and responses to PHA injection were found. We conclude that chick growth rate variation may be explained beyond
a certain threshold by a tradeoff between the humoral response and growth. Both responses to PHA injection and humoral responses
in chicks were found to decrease with chick hatching date. Within the context of ostrich farming, these results could partially
explain size variations observed in cohorts of chicks, as well as high mortality rates during their first 3 months of age. 相似文献
