Research

The paradox of sex remains the queen of problems in evolutionary biology.

Titelblatt: "Der Spiegel" Why SexWaageSexual reproduction is widespread throughout the animal and plant kingdoms, but undercertain conditions remain costly compared to asexual reproduction. Sex creates a wide variety of genotypes on which natural selection can act, but it also breaks up favourable gene combinations. Asexuals have the ability to preserve their genome and to propagate genotypes that have a previous history of success.

In addition, asexuals can reproduce twice as fast as sexuals, because all, rather than half, of their offspring are themselves capable of reproduction. Although asexual reproduction offers several clear short-term advantages, ruling evolutionary theory dictates that the absence of a mechanism for rapid genetic change will direct clones persisting over long time frames into evolutionary dead ends. Several animal and plant groups nevertheless show a large incidence of asexual reproduction and some lineages might have been fully asexual for many millions of years.

Gynogenesis as a dispersal strategy
(Funds of the EAWAG, PI with Dr. Jukka Jokela, EAWAG Zürich, Switzerland, Dr. Jouni Taskinen & Manuel Deinhard, University of Jyväskylä, Finland)

The Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio, was introduced to Europe from East Asia, probably as a triploid all-female gynogenetic lineage whose clonal reproduction relies on sperm from related species inducing the asexual egg development. Since its introduction, the Prussian carp invaded most of European fresh water systems and started developing diploid and tetraploid forms, males and sexual modes of reproduction. The mechanism of the observed changes is not well understood. Distribution patterns suggest that the Prussian carp is invasive and displaces its sexual sperm-donor, the European crucian carp (C. carassius).

We investigate the parasite community, ploidy and genetic structure of several European populations of successfully spreading gynogenetic Prussian carp, as well as of their sperm donor, the indigenous Crucian carp. Crossing experiments will give insights into the mechanism of gynogenesis.

"Sex determination and sex chromosome evolution in (invasive) Mosquito fishes"


Mosquito fish, Gambusia affinis

                             Mosquito fish, Gambusia affinis

With an alarming decline in biodiversity, conservation biologists have been facing two pressing tasks: 1) protecting and recovering the populations of endangered species, and 2) controlling invasive pest species which threaten native biota. These two tasks usually require different theoretical and/or methodological frameworks.

Recently, the introduction of individuals, carrying ‘Trojan’ sex chromosomes (i.e. hormone-treated individuals whose sex has been reversed from their genotype), into wild populations has been proposed as a potential way of not only exterminating invasive pest species but also of saving endangered species. However, the ecology of individuals carrying Trojan sex chromosomes (i.e. sex-reversed individuals) and their offspring is virtually unknown. Thus, empirical work on the use of Trojan sex chromosomes is urgently required.

We will conduct the first comprehensive investigation quantifying the fitness of sex-reversed individuals and their offspring, using an invasive fish species. We will use three different approaches: morphological, endocrinological and behavioural measurements. This work will extend our knowledge of the intricate relationships among genes, hormones and phenotypic characters.  Importantly, it will explore the feasibility of introducing Trojan individuals into wild populations for conservation proposes. Therefore, our project will ensure that New Zealand remains a front runner in the field of conservation biology.
