Publications
Genetic perspectives on the natural history of fish mating systemsJ A DeWoody
Department of Genetics, University of Georgia, Athens, USA
J Hered 92:167-72. 2001..Overall, genetic markers have both confirmed and quantified the incidence of several reproductive and other social behaviors of fishes, and have thereby enhanced our knowledge of piscine natural history...
Genetic documentation of filial cannibalism in natureJ A DeWoody
Department of Genetics, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 98:5090-2. 2001..Furthermore, they suggest that the phenomenon may result, at least in part, from an inability of guardians to differentiate between kin and nonkin within their own nests...
The genetic mating system of spotted sunfish (Lepomis punctatus): mate numbers and the influence of male reproductive parasitesJ A DeWoody
Department of Genetics, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA
Mol Ecol 9:2119-28. 2000..3%, indicating that the great majority of paternity is by bourgeois nesting males. With regard to maternity, 87% of the nests had at least three dams, and computer simulations estimate that about 7.2 dams spawned per nest...
On the number of reproductives contributing to a half-sib progeny arrayJ A DeWoody
Department of Genetics, University of Georgia, Athens 30602, USA
Genet Res 75:95-105. 2000..The utility of this approach is illustrated using two empirical data sets...
Accuracy and precision of methods to estimate the number of parents contributing to a half-sib progeny arrayA C Fiumera
Department of Genetics, University of Georgia, Athens 30602, USA
J Hered 92:120-6. 2001..Generally, HAPLOTYPES-based estimates of parental numbers in large half-sib cohorts should improve the characterization of organismal reproductive strategies and mating systems from genetic data...
Genetic monogamy and biparental care in an externally fertilizing fish, the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides)J A DeWoody
Department of Genetics, University of Georgia, Athens 30602, USA
Proc Biol Sci 267:2431-7. 2000..Overall, however, the data provide what may be the first genetic documentation of near-monogamy and biparental care in a vertebrate with external fertilization...
Genetic parentage in large half-sib clutches: theoretical estimates and empirical appraisalsJ A DeWoody
Department of Genetics, University of Georgia, Athens 30602, USA
Genetics 154:1907-12. 2000....
On the estimation of genome-wide heterozygosity using molecular markersY D Dewoody
The Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907 1159, USA
J Hered 96:85-8. 2005..Thus, associations between fitness (or other phenotypes) and heterozygosity should be established firmly on causative factors and not on simple correlations...
A genetic assessment of parentage in a natural population of dollar sunfish (Lepomis marginatus) based on microsatellite markersM MacKiewicz
Department of Genetics, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA
Mol Ecol 11:1877-83. 2002..Clustered de novo mutations also were identified. About 2.5 females (range 1-7) contributed to the offspring pool within a typical nest. Results are compared to those for other Lepomis species...
The use of nuclear and mitochondrial single nucleotide polymorphisms to identify cryptic speciesN M Belfiore
Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Purdue University, 195 Marstellar St, West Lafayette, IN 47907 2033, USA
Mol Ecol 12:2011-7. 2003..Correct identification rates were much lower at the highly variable mitochondrial locus...
Zygosity at the major histocompatibility class IIB locus predicts susceptibility to Renibacterium salmoninarum in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)S M Turner
Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA
Anim Genet 38:517-9. 2007..salmoninarum antigen levels, we found that MH class IIB homozygotes were significantly more susceptible to R. salmoninarum than heterozygotes. These findings are discussed in the context of current evolutionary theory...
