Types Reproduction • Asexual • Sexual • Sexual vs. asexual – costs associated with sexual but benefits (“lottery” model) Asexual fission • • • • Fission budding, parthenogenesis Fragmentation- the body of the parent breaks into distinct pieces, each of which can produce an offspring. Planarians exhibit this type of reproduction. • Regeneration- a piece of a parent is detached, it can grow and develop into a completely new individual. Echinoderms exhibit this type of reproduction. budding Parthenogenesis • in females, where growth and development of embryos occurs without fertilization by a male (rotifers, crustaceans, some sharks, nematodes) 1 Sexual reproduction • • • • Broadcast spawning Live birth Mating systems Hermaphrodites – Sequential – Simultaneous fertilization Broadcast spawning • One of the most common forms of reproduction in the oceans • Eggs and sperm are released into the water column and are fertilized by neighbors • Often it is synchronous Live birth in fishes Anadromous fishes 2 smoltification Mating systems in sexual reproduction • Transition to ocean form • Silvering of skin – deposition of purines such as guanine • Parr territorial, smoltification results in schooling behavior • Hormonal changes, increased NaKATPase in gills preparing for salt tolerance • Body shape changes becoming more streamlined • Monogamy • Polygamy • Polygyny (the most common polygamous mating system in vertebrates so far studied): One male has an exclusive relationship with two or more females • Polyandry: One female has an exclusive relationship with two or more males • Promiscuity: A member of one sex within the social group mates with any member of the opposite sex. • • • • • • • • • • • • • Hermaphrodites Coral spawning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrMAOBT_Vco&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVqf2geKju4 Barnacle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1SW-pl2gYs&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TnB4dm3KyM&feature=related Sea urchin fertilization http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6BtSMerBmw&feature=related Sea hare hermaphrodite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lp87hrb-5I Cuttlefish mating http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR7Dqf0vzzQ&feature=related Simultaneous hermaphrodite • Hamlet fish • Sea hares • Barnacles – Sequential – Simultaneous • Protandry: Where an organism is born as a male, and then changes sex to a female clownfishes 3 • Protogyny: Where the organism starts as a female, and then changes sex to a male wrasses 4
