FIGURE 6.2

Differences in the patterns of responses of vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs) to urine from different individuals and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) peptides. Responses recorded by Ca²⁺ imaging from slices of vomeronasal epithelium in response to urine from individual urine donors. Pie charts show percentage of VSNs that responded to different numbers of individuals. Differences in the patterns of response to individual males of the same strain suggest that the vomeronasal system is potentially sensitive to individual differences unrelated to genotype. (A) Responses to non-littermate males of the C57/BL6 inbred strain. (B) Responses to littermate males of the C57/BL6 inbred strain. (C) Images of VSNs that responded to urine from C57/BL6 males (B6 M.U.), C57/BL6 females (B6 F.U.), and the C57/BL6 MHC peptide AAPDNRETF. (D) The populations of VSNs responding to urine from C57/BL6 males and females showed little overlap with the population of VSNs responding to the C57/BL6 MHC peptide AAPDNRETF. This suggests that this peptide is unlikely to be an endogenous individuality signal of mouse urine. (From He, J. et al. Science, 320, 535–38, 2008. Reprinted with permission of AAAS.)

FIGURE 7.4Two cells jointly specializing in reproduction and viability

Cell i specializes in reproductive effort, b_i, with less effort put into vegetative functions, v_i. Cell j does the reverse. Alone they would each have low fitness, but together in a group they may have high fitness if the tradeoff between reproduction and viability is convex.

FIGURE 7.1Examples of volvocine species varying in cell number, colony volume, degree of specialization, and proportion of somatic cells

(A) Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a unicell. (B) Gonium pectorale, a flat or curved sheet of 8–32 undifferentiated cells. (C) Eudorina elegans, a spherical colony of 16–64 undifferentiated cells. (D) Pleodorina californica, a spherical colony with 30–50% somatic cells. (E) Volvox carteri. (F) Volvox aureus. Where two cell types are present (D–F), the smaller cells are somatic cells and the larger cells are reproductive cells. Photos were taken by C. Solari (University of Arizona).

FIGURE 7.2Change in expression of a life-history gene in space and in time

Expression of genes is indicated by the thick arrows. The effect on fitness is also specified when the gene is off and on. (A) In a unicellular individual, the gene is expressed in response to an environmental cue in a temporal context and has the effect of increasing survival while decreasing effort at reproduction. (B) This same gene is expressed in a spatial context within a multicellular individual in response to a developmental cue. The cells in which the gene is expressed increase their effort at survival and decrease their effort at reproduction. This figure was modified from Nedelcu and Michod (2006).
