Mating system and genetic variance in a polygynous mustelid, the European polecatT Lodé
Laboratoire d Ecologie Animale, Faculte des Sciences, Université d Angers Belle Beille, France
Genes Genet Syst 76:221-7. 2001..383. Thus the mating system of such solitary mustelids may be poorly efficient to prevent inbreeding within populations...
Can low densities of carnivores result in genetic depletion? An investigation within French polecat populationsT Lodé
Laboratoire d Ecologie Animale, UMR105 Paysages and Biodiversité, UFR Sciences, Campus Belle Beille, Universite d Angers, Angers Cedex, France
J Anim Breed Genet 123:152-8. 2006..Both the loss of polymorphic loci and the reduction in heterozygosity rates suggest a density-dependent effect and population density can be arguably regarded as a factor affecting genetic diversity in top carnivores...
Sex-biased predation by polecats influences the mating system of frogsThierry Lodé
Laboratoire d Ecologie Animale, Universite d Angers, F 49045 Angers, France
Proc Biol Sci 271:S399-401. 2004..Thus, predation by polecats is found to influence sex ratio, male abundance and sexual conflict in a frog mating system, restricting the opportunity for multiple mating...
European mink-polecat hybridization events: hazards from natural process?T Lodé
The Laboratoire d écologie animale, UMR Paysages and Biodiversité, Universite d Angers, Faculte des Sciences, Belle Beille, 49045 Angers Cedex, France
J Hered 96:89-96. 2005..Rather than revealing the poor efficiency of the specific recognition system, our results suggest that hybridization is associated with the scarcity of mating partners...
Multiple paternity in Rana dalmatina, a monogamous territorial breeding anuranThierry Lodé
Laboratoire d Ecologie Animale, Universite d Angers, 2 Bd Lavoisier, 49045 Angers Cedex, France
Naturwissenschaften 91:44-7. 2004..Such a polyandry may result from synchronous multiple amplexus and should reduce the heterozygote deficit related to the breeding-pond fidelity usually exhibited by most anurans...
Implications of an individualistic lifestyle for species conservation: lessons from jealous beastsThierry Lodé
Laboratoire d Ecologie Animale, Universite d Angers, 2, bd Lavoisier, 49045 Angers, France
C R Biol 326:S30-6. 2003..We suggest that the solitary habits of individualistic species may result in or worsen a high inbreeding and exacerbate their conservation issue, a crucial perspective for critically endangered species such as the European mink...
Frog alien species: a way for genetic invasion?Alain Pagano
Laboratoire d Ecologie Animale, Universite d Angers, Campus Belle Beille, 49045 Angers, France
C R Biol 326:S85-92. 2003....
Inbreeding and road effect zone in a Ranidae: the case of Agile frog, Rana dalmatina Bonaparte, 1840David Lesbarreres
Laboratoire d Ecologie Animale, Faculte des Sciences, Université d Angers Belle Beille, F 49045 Angers, France
C R Biol 326:S68-72. 2003..Discussing about road distance and conservation policies, we propose that roads are directly involved in inbreeding and in local extinction. Thus, road construction ought to consider conservation management...
Molecular survey of genetic diversity in the endangered European mink Mustela lutreolaDidier Peltier
Laboratoire de Genetique, Universite d Angers, U F R Sciences, 49045 Angers, France
C R Biol 326:S49-53. 2003..Finally we present the first data allowing an estimation of heterozygosity of French population of European mink...
A case of reproductive character displacement in female palmate newts (Lissotriton helveticus)Aurélie Johanet
UFR Sciences, Universite d Angers, France
C R Biol 332:548-57. 2009..It suggests that male newts incur large mating costs when selecting heterospecific partners. Our study also emphasizes that the evolution of mate recognition systems could occur at a microgeographical scale within a sympatric area...
Kin recognition versus familiarity in a solitary mustelid, the European polecat Mustela putoriusThierry Lodé
UMR CNRS 6552 Ethologie Evolution Ecologie, université Rennes 1 and Université d Angers, Faculte des Sciences, Belle Beille, F 49045 Angers Cedex, France
C R Biol 331:248-54. 2008..Anyway, familiarisation in polecat may be regarded as a cognitive form of recognition...
