- Abstract:
- A major concern in environmental research (with both basic and applied significance) is understanding the evolution and maintenance of genetic diversity. Central to these efforts is to understand the factors that influence mating biases and their selective costs in potentially changing environments. The 'post-genomics' era opens opportunities to apply state-of-the-art genetic tools to such ecological and evolutionary questions. This research proposes to take a multidisciplinary approach to the consequences of mate choice by comparing how levels of inbreeding, rates of sexual reproduction, and reproductive strategies between genders influence the ability of both plants and animals to respond to pathogens.
