| Abstract | The fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) is a nest-building North American cyprinid that spawns multiply and exhibits exclusive male parental care. Here, we examined the effects of nest substrate availability on the genetic mating system in 2 natural populations from the glacial pothole region of eastern South Dakota. The sites differed dramatically with respect to the type and density of available nest substrate. Substrate effects were examined by comparing the percentage and distribution of illegitimate offspring between the 2 sites. A total of 1338 embryos from 42 nests (21 from each site) were genotyped at 4 or 5 microsatellite loci. Bimodally distributed frequencies of illegitimate offspring occurred in the nests of guardian males from both sites and indicate the presence of nest takeovers as well as previously undocumented alternative reproductive tactics. As predicted, the rate of usurped nests, a previously documented behavior, was higher in the nest substrate-limited population; furthermore, males were significantly larger here and acquired more mates, suggesting a difference in sexual selection regime. Although these results are based on a single comparison between 2 sites, the results are intriguing and provide a foundation for future studies. |
