Fig. 5. Prey consumption in the choice test involving progeny of irradiated females. Number of T. absoluta eggs consumed per T. cucurbitaceus (mean ± SE) individual in 24 h from the following T. absoluta eggs crosses, ♀U × ƋU and ♀I × ƋU. The different letters above the 2 error bars indicates that there was a significant difference in the numbers of eggs consumed based on the crosses from which they had originated, even though the female parent had been irradiated in 1 of the crosses (paired t tests, P <0.05). U = untreated, I = irradiated.

Fig. 2. Chromatograph comparing original and redesigned primers for Ccmic3 in Inheritance of fifeen microsatellite loci in Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Fig. 2. Chromatograph comparing original and redesigned primers for Ccmic3 on sample A1-F1-07, Family A1. Both reactions were run simultaneously on the same fragment analysis plate using the same PCR conditions, DNA concentrations, and dilution factor. a) Chromatograph of progeny exhibiting an allele call of 74/74. Parents are 74/76 and 76/76. The observed 76 bp peak was considered to be weak. Cloning and sequencing confirmed the existence of this 76 bp fragment. b) Chromatograph of the same progeny as in Fig. 2a now exhibiting an allele call of 72/74 afer primer modification. Parents are now 72/74 and 74/74. The observed 74 bp peak is more pronounced compared to the previous 76 bp call. The intensity of the 74 bp peak also increased while the other 3 visible peaks decreased. This suggests an increase in adenylation has occurred.

Fig. 1 in Inheritance of fifeen microsatellite loci in Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Fig. 1. Sequence alignment of Ccmic3 with original primer design. Top two sequences are genotypes of 74 bp allele and bottom two sequences are genotypes of the 76 bp allele. One extra thymine residue on the 5' end appeared in 8 of the 8 clones for this allele leading to difficulties in scoring this locus. Redesign of the forward primer by adding the extra guanines provided better resolution in scoring. Lower case sequence represents the Topo 2.1 vector just past the EcoRI in the multiple cloning site.

Fig. 3 in Inheritance of fifeen microsatellite loci in Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Fig. 3. Comparing artifactual bands to actual bands to determine allele as observed at the Ccmic25 locus. a) Chromatograph of sample exhibiting an artifactual band can be observed at the 136 bp peak. The geometric shape and configuration is not consistent with those of microsatellites. b) This chromatograph shows the characteristic high peak followed by a low peak expected when making a call around the 137 bp peak. To the lef of both peaks are very low broad bands, commonly observed during analysis. In homozygote individuals, these peaks may extend higher and resemble an artifactual band similar to what was observed in Fig. 3a.

Social network inheritance and differentiation in wild baboons

Immatures' social development may be fundamental to understanding important biological processes, such as social information transmission through groups, that can vary with age and sex. Our aim was to determine how social networks change with age and differ between sexes in wild immature baboons, group-living primates that readily learn socially. Our results show that immature baboons inherited their mothers' networks and differentiated from them as they aged, increasing their association with partners of similar age and the same sex. Males were less bonded to their matriline and became more peripheral with age compared to females. Our results may pave the way to further studies testing a new hypothetical framework: in female-philopatric societies, social information transmission may be constrained at the matrilineal level by age- and sex-driven social clustering.

Supplementary material for: PhyloCoalSimulations: A simulator for network multispecies coalescent models, including a new extension for the inheritance of gene flow

We consider the evolution of phylogenetic gene trees along phylogenetic species networks, according to the network multispecies coalescent process, and introduce a new network coalescent model with correlated inheritance of gene flow. This model generalizes two traditional versions of the network coalescent: with independent or common inheritance. At each reticulation, multiple lineages of a given locus are inherited from parental populations chosen at random, either independently across lineages, or with positive correlation according to a Dirichlet process. This process may account for locus-specific probabilities of inheritance, for example. We implemented the simulation of gene trees under these network coalescent models in the Julia package PhyloCoalSimulations, which depends on PhyloNetworks and its powerful network manipulation tools. Input species phylogenies can be read in extended Newick format, either in numbers of generations or in coalescent units. Simulated gene trees can be written in Newick format, and in a way that preserves information about their embedding within the species network. This embedding can be used for downstream purposes, such as to simulate species-specific processes like rate variation across species, or for other scenarios as illustrated in this note. This package should be useful for simulation studies and simulation-based inference methods. The software is available open source with documentation and a tutorial at <a href="https://github.com/cecileane/PhyloCoalSimulations.jl">https://github.com/cecileane/PhyloCoalSimulations.jl</a>.

Data from: Distinct patterns of inheritance shape life-history traits in steelhead trout

Life-history variation is the raw material of adaptation, and understanding its genetic and environmental underpinning is key to designing effective conservation strategies. We used large-scale genetic pedigree reconstruction of anadromous steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) from the Russian River, California, USA to elucidate sex-specific patterns of life-history traits and their heritability. SNP data from adults returning from sea over a 14-year period were used to identify 13,474 parent-offspring trios. These pedigrees were used to determine age structure, size distributions, and family sizes for these fish, as well as to estimate the heritability of two key life-history traits, spawn date and age at maturity (first reproduction). Spawn date was highly heritable (h2 = 0.73) and had a cross-sex genetic correlation near unity. We provide the first estimate of heritability for age at maturity in ocean-going fish from this species and found it to be high heritable (h2 from 0.29–0.62, depending upon sex and calculation), with a much lower genetic correlation across sexes. We also evaluated genotypes at a migration-associated inversion polymorphism and found sex-specific correlations with age at maturity. The significant heritability of these two key reproductive traits in these imperiled fish, and their patterns of inheritance in the two sexes, is consistent with predictions of both natural and sexually antagonistic selection (sexes experience opposing selection pressures). This emphasizes the importance of anthropogenic factors, including hatchery practices and ecosystem modifications, in shaping the fitness of this species, thus providing important guidance for management and conservation efforts.
