Population bottleneck has only marginal effect on fitness evolution and its repeatability in dioecious C. elegans

K. Bisschop, T. Blankers, J. Mariën, M. T. Wortel, M. Egas, A. T. Groot, M. Visser, J. Ellers

This study tests if population bottlenecks reduce fitness evolution repeatability in C. elegans, finding no significant effect despite reduced genetic diversity.

Experimental evolution of a pheromone signal

T. Blankers, E. Fruitet, E. Burdfield-Steel, A. T. Groot

This study shows that artificial selection on a multicomponent pheromone signal in moths leads to a genetic covariance shift, enabling a response to selection without constraints from other linked components.

Toward an understanding of the chemical ecology of alternative reproductive tactics in the bulb mite (Rhizoglyphus robini)

A. N. Zeeman, I. M. Smallegange, E. Burdfield-Steel, A. T. Groot, K. A. Stewart

The paper investigates pheromone production differences between alternative reproductive tactics in bulb mites, finding that scramblers produce more pheromones and reach larger sizes than fighters.

Sex pheromone signal and stability covary with fitness

T. Blankers, R. Lievers, C. Plata, M. van Wijk, D. van Veldhuizen, A. T. Groot

The paper investigates the relationship between sex pheromone traits and fitness in moths, finding that pheromone amount, composition, and stability correlate with reproductive success and longevity.
