Comparison of Selection and Mating Systems for Maintenance of Closed Poultry Lines Using Several Breeding Cages by Tetsuro Nomura

“…To reduce the inbreeding rate or increase the effective population size in this plan, following four selection and mating systems were considered. In the first system (RS-RM), parents of the next generation are randomly selected from the progeny pooled over cages, and breeding groups are re-established by randomly dividing the selected progeny. …”

Patterns of Genetic Diversity and Mating Systems in a Mass-Reared Black Soldier Fly Colony by Lelanie Hoffmann, Kelvin L. Hull, Anandi Bierman, Rozane Badenhorst, Aletta E. Bester-van der Merwe, Clint Rhode

“…However, the high ge-netic diversity in the wild and a polyandrous mating system might suggest the possible restoration of diversity in mass-reared colonies through augmentation with the wild population.…”

Population history, mating system, and fitness variation in a perennial herb with a fragmented distribution by Leimu, R, Mutikainen, P

“…The observed patterns of genetic variation suggest that this species has a mixed mating system. Taken together, these results indicate that the studied populations are of recent common ancestry but may also have relatively high levels of current gene flow. …”

The evolution of social behaviour: the effect of mating system and social structure in the European badger Meles meles by Dugdale, H

“…Studies of mating systems and social organisation have been central to understanding of the evolution of social behaviour. …”

Using molecular markers to investigate genetic diversity, mating system and gene flow of Neotropical trees by Vinson, C, Mangaravite, E, Sebbenn, A, Lander, T

“…This review aims to (1) describe the most informative and widely used molecular markers for genotype analysis, and describe the methods for using that genotype data to understand (2) genetic diversity and structure; and (3) mating system, pollen and seed dispersal. For each area of investigation, we discuss the types of analyses that can be performed, the software available for the analyses, what the analyses indicate, and provide examples from the literature of studies using these approaches. …”

The reproductive microbiome: an emerging driver of sexual selection, sexual conflict, mating systems, and reproductive isolation by Rowe, M, Veerus, L, Trosvik, P, Buckling, A, Pizzari, T

“…We then discuss the likely repercussions of these effects for evolutionary processes related to sexual selection and sexual conflict, as well as mating systems and reproductive isolation. We argue that knowledge of the reproductive microbiome is fundamental to our understanding of the evolutionary ecology of reproductive strategies and sexual dynamics of host organisms. …”

Additive and non-additive epigenetic signatures of natural hybridization between fish species with different mating systems by Waldir M. Berbel-Filho, George Pacheco, Mateus G. Lira, Carlos Garcia de Leaniz, Sergio M. Q. Lima, Carlos M. Rodríguez-López, Jia Zhou, Sofia Consuegra

“…We analysed the relationship between genetic background and methylation patterns in natural hybrids of two genetically divergent fish species with different mating systems, Kryptolebias hermaphroditus (self-fertilizing) and K. ocellatus (outcrossing). …”

Genetic and Molecular Evidence of a Tetrapolar Mating System in the Edible Mushroom <i>Grifola frondosa</i> by Shuang-Shuang Zhang, Xiao Li, Guo-Jie Li, Qi Huang, Jing-Hua Tian, Jun-Ling Wang, Ming Li, Shou-Mian Li

“…<i>Grifola frondosa</i> has been considered as a sexual species with a tetrapolar mating system based on little experimental data. In the present study, one group of test crosses and six groups of three-round mating experiments from two parental strains were conducted to determine the mating system in <i>G. frondosa</i>. …”

Within-population variation in social strategies characterize the social and mating system of an Australian lizard, Egernia whitii by While, G, Uller, T, Wapstra, E

“…In addition, while the mating system is characterized by considerable genetic monogamy, extra-pair fertilizations are relatively common, with 34% of litters containing offspring sired by males from outside the social group. …”
