This project investigates the evolution of viviparity, focusing on male pregnancy in seahorses and pipefishes. By analyzing genetic and immune system adaptations, it aims to uncover the factors driving this reproductive strategy across vertebrates, moving beyond the mammalian model.
The question of how sex roles and parental investment have evolved belongs to the most controversial unresolved issues in evolutionary biology.
The costliest form of reproduction regarding parental investment is viviparity.
Its independent evolution in most vertebrate groups has required drastic morphological and genomic reorganisations in the sex bearing the young.
Yet our knowledge is heavily biased towards mammals, where changes in the immune system and microbial composition are associated wi…
