Sex Between Different Animal Species Is Fairly Common
2017年12月18日 · Scientists have observed a variety of species mating in a misdirected way repeatedly. In Antarctic fur seals, one dominant male often mates with a harem of females, leaving the other males...
Monkey Tries to Mate With Deer in First Ever Video - National …
2017年1月11日 · Scientists have some theories. A male monkey in Japan has been filmed trying to mate with a female deer—likely the first observation of two distantly related species having a nonviolent sexual...
The Surprising Frequency of Interspecies Mating - JSTOR Daily
2018年1月5日 · When two different species successfully mate, the resulting offspring is called a hybrid. Hybrids are often, but not always, sterile (think of mules). Hybrids aren’t necessarily good news for a rare or threatened species. When a more common species produces hybrids with a rare species, the result can be problematic for the rare species. Every ...
Why Some Animals Try Mating with the Wrong Species - VICE
2014年11月20日 · Sex between different species—also called “misdirected mating” or “reproductive interference”—is rare but not unheard of in the animal realm. Besides seals, types of dolphin, bird and ...
Mating with the wrong species can be right - PubMed
Some view mating between different species as a maladaptive process; others stress the adaptive value of choosing heterospecific mates under ecological conditions that favour hybrids. A recent paper by Pfennig is the first study to make a priori predictions of how adaptive choice between con- and heterospecific partners should vary with ...

Mating with the wrong species can be right - Cell Press
In a recent paper, Karin Pfennig suggests that, under certain environmental conditions, mating with heterospecifics might represent an adaptive choice, rather than an accident. Her suggestion arises from a mate choice experiment with two American spadefoot toad species, Spea bombifrons (BB) and Spea multiplicata (MM).

The resilience of reproductive interference - Evolutionary Ecology
2021年5月26日 · Our study reveals the complex dynamics of reproductive interference and highlights scenarios where mating with the wrong species can have either minimal or long-lasting effects on fitness. We emphasize the benefit of assessing reproductive interference using experiments that not only vary heterospecific encounter rates, but that also quantify ...
