All males are not created equal: fertility differences depend on gamete recognition polymorphisms in sea urchins.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 26 Oct 1999

Palumbi S R

Abstract excerpt

Behaviors, morphologies, and genetic loci directly involved in reproduction have been increasingly shown to be polymorphic within populations. Explaining how such variants are maintained by selection is crucial to understanding the genetic basis of fertility differences, but direct tests of how alleles at reproductive loci affect fertility are rare. In the sea urchin genus Echinometra, the protein bindin mediates...
