- Inbreeding depression and mating systems in two species of Linanthus (Polemoniaceae). Goodwillie, Carol // Heredity;Mar2000, Vol. 84 Issue 3, p283
Theory predicts that, at equilibrium, the magnitude of inbreeding depression caused by recessive alleles should decrease as the level of self-fertilization increases, facilitating the evolution of even higher selfing rates. Data are presented on mating systems and inbreeding depression in...

- ELUSIVE AND PASSIONATE. // Wellness Options;2005, Issue 20, p16
Reveals that some odorless molecules, referred as pheromones, are sensed by the vomeronasal organ (VNO) and are released and perceived as chemical communications between members of a species. Information on the discovery of the first pheromone; Controversies in regards to the chemical identity...

Males of many animal species are reproductively limited by the difficulty and time costs of finding mates. Males of such species should be selected to take advantage of any cues that might reveal the location of prospective mates. Cues to female location are not restricted to those produced by...
