- Abstract:
- Daphnia will be used as a model system to measure the fitness consequences of alternative mate choice. Specifically, we will: (1) apply a series of microsatellite loci to distinguish between clones and enable the identification of offspring from interclonal matings; (2) determine the mating preference of males and females for mates of the same or different clones and the fitness consequences of this; (3) determine whether mating behaviour and mating success with other clones is related to the genetic similarity between the clones.
