EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTAL RELATEDNESS AND MALE REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS IN THE ANTARCTIC FUR SEAL ARCTOCEPHALUS GAZELLA

Abstract

Recent genetic studies of natural populations have shown that heterozygosity and other genetic estimates of parental relatedness correlate with a wide variety of fitness traits, from juvenile survival and parasite resistance to male reproductive success. Many of these traits involve health and survival, where the underlying mechanism may involve changes in the effectiveness of the immune system. However, for traits such as reproductive success, the likely mechanisms remain less obvious. In this paper, we examine the relationship between heterozygosity and a range of traits that contribute to male reproductive success, including time spent on territories and competitiveness. Our analysis is based on observational and genetic data from eight consecutive breeding seasons at a colony of the Antarctic fur seal, Arctocephalus gazella. Overall, male reproductive success was found to correlate strongly with internal relatedness (IR, a form of heterozygosity). When different components of success were analyzed, we found that IR correlates independently with reproductive longevity, time spent ashore, and competitive ability per unit mating opportunity on the study beach, with more heterozygous males being more successful. Behavioral observations were sufficiently detailed to allow examination of how daily mean IR values for males present on the beach varied within seasons and from year to year. Again, significant variation was found both among and within seasons, with more homozygous m…

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Females probably gain direct benefits by choosing an outbred male over an inbred male.

    “females probably gain direct benefits by choosing an outbred (i.e. more heterozygous) male over an inbred (i.e. less heterozygous) male (e.g. because the former has smaller territory sizes [14–16] or contributes less to parental care [17] than the latter).”

  • Choosing based on heterozygosity can provide direct benefits, for example through larger territory sizes or increased parental care.

    “Additionally, choosing based on heterozygosity can provide direct benefits, for example through larger territory sizes [14–16] or increased parental care [17].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
