Abstract

It is often argued that anisogamy causes alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) to be more common in males than females. We challenge this view by pointing out logical flaws in the argument. We then review recent work on the diversity of female ARTs, listing several understudied types such as solitary versus communal breeding and facultative parthenogenesis. We highlight an important difference between male and female ARTs that caused female ARTs to be overlooked: male ARTs tend to focus on successful fertilization, whereas female ARTs occur at many stages of reproduction and often form complex networks of decision points. We propose to study correlated female ARTs as a whole to better understand their drivers and eco-evolutionary dynamics.

雌性替代生殖策略:多样性和驱动因素。
通常有一种观点认为,一夫一妻制会导致另类生殖策略(ARTs)在雄性中比在雌性中更常见。我们指出了这一论点的逻辑缺陷,从而对这一观点提出质疑。然后,我们回顾了近期有关雌性替代生殖策略多样性的研究,列举了几种未被充分研究的类型,如单独繁殖与群居繁殖以及兼性孤雌生殖。我们强调了导致雌性ART被忽视的雄性和雌性ART之间的一个重要区别:雄性ART往往集中于成功受精,而雌性ART则发生在繁殖的许多阶段,而且往往形成复杂的决策点网络。我们建议将相关的雌性ART作为一个整体进行研究,以更好地了解其驱动因素和生态进化动态。

期刊介绍: Trends in Ecology & Evolution (TREE) is a comprehensive journal featuring polished, concise, and readable reviews, opinions, and letters in all areas of ecology and evolutionary science. Catering to researchers, lecturers, teachers, field workers, and students, it serves as a valuable source of information. The journal keeps scientists informed about new developments and ideas across the spectrum of ecology and evolutionary biology, spanning from pure to applied and molecular to global perspectives. In the face of global environmental change, Trends in Ecology & Evolution plays a crucial role in covering all significant issues concerning organisms and their environments, making it a major forum for life scientists.
