Here is a situation in which the polar body genes (in the membranes surrounding the proliferating embryos) might have very different selective optima for levels of between-sibling aggressiveness—and even for rates of development—than the genes in the embryos they surround, and (because they apparently mediate the nutrition of the embryos) they might be able to influence how the embryos develop.
The growth and sporulation of many pathogens is favored by high humidity, and temperature requirements are similar to other mesophiles, with ranges between 5 and 50°C and optima between 20 and 30°C [ 1 12 13 ] . Thus, characterizing the weather conditions favorable for fungi in general may be useful in predicting the extent of selection imposed by pathogenic fungi on plants in different habitats.
Furthermore, the fungal measures likely represent the abundance and richness of mesophiles, because the temperature (22°C) used to incubate inoculi falls within the temperature optima of mesophilic fungi.
Thus, it is conceivable that females may compete against brothers and sisters for resources, that they may make decisions that affect the intensity of that competition, and that such decisions may have different optima from the perspectives of maternal versus paternal genes.
