    Sammanfattning : The striking diversity of reproductive strategies that flowering plants exhibit remains one of the most intriguing conundrums in evolutionary biology. Pollination-related traits and mating system strategies have a major impact on the processes shaping plant evolution through their effects on genetic diversity and selection. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Female reproductive strategies and sexual conflicts in a polygynous mating system

    Författare :Maria Sandell; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; female aggression; nestling feeding; intraspecific brood parasitism; mating system; parental investment; sexual conflict; intrasexual competition; Animal ecology; Djurekologi;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I have investigated conflicts of interest in the facultatively polygynous European starling (Sturnus vulgaris) with a focus on female reproductive strategies. The extent to which males provided parental care was a key issue in understanding the mating system of the starling. LÄS MER
