Abstract:
:We investigated intraspecific and interspecific patterns of paternity in Tribolium castaneum, the flour beetle, by mating females either to pairs of conspecific males or to one conspecific and one heterospecific male of the closely related species, T. freemani. Females of both species store sperm in the spermatheca after copulation and postcopulatory, prezygotic reproductive isolation has been reported between this pair of species. When conspecific males of contrasting genotype are mated simultaneously to T. castaneum females, we observed extremely high levels of variation among females in the pattern of sperm precedence as shown by the offspring genotypes. In contrast, T. castaneum females mated simultaneously to a conspecific and a heterospecific male produced over 99 per cent conspecific progeny. When conspecific males were mated sequentially to T. castaneum females, within 3-7 days, all offspring were sired by the second male. In contrast, when a conspecific male was replaced with a T. freemani male, most females continued to produce only first-male, conspecific offspring for the next 10 days. When a heterospecific male was replaced with a conspecific male, T. castaneum females changed from producing hybrid to conspecific offspring within 3 days. We discuss the evolutionary implications of these findings.
