One measure of quality is health, which can be affected by parasite infection. Cnemaspis mysoriensis is a diurnal gecko that is often infested with ectoparasites in the wild, and males of this species express visual (coloured gular patches) and chemical (femoral gland secretions) traits that receivers could assess during social interactions. In this paper, we tested whether ectoparasites affect individual health, and whether signal quality is an indicator of ectoparasite levels. In wild lizards, we found that ectoparasite level was negatively correlated with body condition in both sexes. Moreover, some characteristics of both visual and chemical traits in males were strongly associated with ectoparasite levels. Specifically, males with higher ectoparasite levels had yellow gular patches with lower brightness and chroma, and chemical secretions with a lower proportion of aromatic compounds. We then determined whether ectoparasite levels in males influence female behaviour. Using sequential choice trials, wherein females were provided with either the visual or the chemical signals of wild-caught males that varied in ectoparasite level, we found that only chemical secretions evoked an elevated female response towards less parasitised males. Simultaneous choice trials in which females were exposed to the chemical secretions from males that varied in parasite level further confirmed a preference for males with lower parasites loads. Overall, we find that although health (body condition) or ectoparasite load can be honestly advertised through multiple modalities, the parasite-mediated female response is exclusively driven by chemical signals.</jats:p>","lang":"eng"}],"issue":"1","date_updated":"2024-01-23T12:13:08Z","year":"2024","keyword":["Insect Science","Molecular Biology","Animal Science and Zoology","Aquatic Science","Physiology","Ecology","Evolution","Behavior and Systematics"],"quality_controlled":"1","volume":227,"external_id":{"pmid":["38054353"]},"related_material":{"link":[{"relation":"software","url":"https://github.com/arka-pal/Cnemaspis-SexualSignaling"}]},"article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","article_type":"original","type":"journal_article","department":[{"_id":"NiBa"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","publication":"Journal of Experimental Biology","date_created":"2024-01-22T08:14:49Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","publisher":"The Company of Biologists","title":"Too much information?

We argue that the term should be defined based on the structure of the Ancestral Recombination Graph (ARG), which contains complete information on the ancestry of a sample. We use simulated examples to demonstrate key features of the relationship between haplotype blocks and ancestral structure, emphasizing the stochasticity of the processes that generate them. Even the simplest cases of neutrality or of a “hard” selective sweep produce a rich structure, often missed by commonly used statistics. We highlight a number of novel methods for inferring haplotype structure, based on the full ARG, or on a sequence of trees, and illustrate how they can be used to define haplotype blocks using an empirical data set. While the advent of new, computationally efficient methods makes it possible to apply these concepts broadly, they (and additional new methods) could benefit from adding features to explore haplotype blocks, as we define them. Understanding and applying the concept of the haplotype block will be essential to fully exploit long and linked-read sequencing technologies."}],"issue":"6","date_updated":"2023-08-16T08:18:47Z","_id":"12159","ddc":["570"],"file_date_updated":"2023-08-16T08:15:41Z","scopus_import":"1","intvolume":"        32","citation":{"ista":"Shipilina D, Pal A, Stankowski S, Chan YF, Barton NH. 2023.

Genetic sex determination, the prevalent mode, is generally controlled by a pair of XY sex chromosomes or by an XX/X0 system, but different configurations that include additional sex chromosomes are also present. Although this diversity of sex determining systems has been extensively studied at the cytogenetic level, only the X chromosome of the model pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum has been analyzed at the genomic level, and little is known about X chromosome biology in the rest of the order.\r\n\r\nIn this study, we take advantage of published DNA- and RNA-seq data from three additional Hemiptera species to perform a comparative analysis of the gene content and expression of the X chromosome throughout this clade. We find that, despite showing evidence of dosage compensation, the X chromosomes of these species show female-biased expression, and a deficit of male-biased genes, in direct contrast to the pea aphid X. We further detect an excess of shared gene content between these very distant species, suggesting that despite the diversity of sex determining systems, the same chromosomal element is used as the X throughout a large portion of the order.
