Neotropical frogs of the genus Oreobates (Anura: Craugastoridae) are adapted to highland and lowland habitats along the Andes, but many aspects of their evolution remain unknown. We studied their evolutionary history using 18,000 exons enriched by targeted sequence-capture. Since capture success was...
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The complex evolutionary history of the tympanic middle ear in frogs and toads (Anura) received: 13 May 2016 accepted: 30 August 2016 Published: 28 September 2016 Martín O. Pereyra1,*, Molly C. Womack2,*, J. Sebastián Barrionuevo1, ...
evolutionary history of the TME is exceptionally complex in true toads (Bufonidae), where it was lost in the most recent common ancestor, preceding a radiation of >150 earless species. Following that initial loss, independent regains of some or all TME structures were inferred within two minor...
Mammals b. Frogs c. Fish d. Reptiles. What are the significant morphological innovations of the integument associated with the amniote tetrapod condition? How do amniotes deal with an increasingly terrestrial life history? Compare teleost fish skin...
The field of meta-heuristic search algorithms has a long history of finding inspiration in natural systems. Starting from classics such as Genetic Algorithms and Ant Colony Optimization, the last two decades have witnessed a fireworks-style explosion (pun intended) of natural (and sometimes supernatur...
J Louys,E Meijaard - 《Journal of Biogeography》 被引量: 112发表: 2010年 Phylogenetic relationships of megophryid frogs of the genus Leptobrachium (Amphibia, Anura) as revealed by mtDNA gene sequences By investigating genealogical relationships, we estimated the phylogenetic history and biogeography...

of pharyngeal teeth and morphological characteristics between 2nNCRC and its parents, imply that homoploid hybrid speciation (HHS) forC. auratuscould likely have occurred in nature. The diversification pattern indicated an independent evolutionary history of theC. auratuscomplex, which was not separated...
conditions. Neotropical frogs of the genus Oreobates (Anura: Craugastoridae) are adapted to highland and lowland habitats along the Andes, but many aspects of their evolution remain unknown. We studied their evolutionary history using ~18,000 exons enriched by targeted sequence-capture. Since ...
The initiation of growth cessation and dormancy represent critical life-history trade-offs between survival and growth and have important fitness effects in perennial plants. Such adaptive life-history traits ... Jing Wang, Jihua Ding, Biyue Tan, Kathryn M. Robinson, Ingrid H. Michelson, Anna Jo...
