Resumo:

Most theoretical models predict an optimal offspring size that maximises parental fitness. Variation in the quality of the offspring environment can result in multiple offspring size optima and therefore variation of offspring provisioning can evolve. Variation in offspring provisioning is common and found across a variety of taxa. It can be defined as between populations, explained by optimality models, or between and within individuals, neither so easily explained by optimality models. My research focused on the evolution of variable offspring provisioning by testing theoretical models relat

Afin de répondre à ces questions, j'ai exploré sa biorégionalisation sur la base de la distribution des amphibiens anoures.

The upland (Pseudacris feriarum) and midland (P. triseriata) chorus frogs are closely related cryptic species that are best distinguished genetically. The distribution of these species within the Commonwealth of Kentucky has previously been defined by only a handful of genetic samples, making delineation of range limits for each species difficult. Accurate understanding of species distributions, and the genetic structure within them, are vitally important for conservation management of amphibian species. In this study, I have collected genetic samples from across the putative ranges of P. tris

The primitive New Zealand frog Leiopelma hochstetteri shows exceptional karyotypic variation. On the North Island, females carry univalent W chromosome and both sexes have 0 to 15 supernumerary chromosomes. Frogs from Great Barrier Island have a conventional 2n = 22 karyotype, with no sex chromosome differentiation in C-banded mitotic chromosomes. However, the lampbrush chromosomes of a Great Barrier Island female show evidence of heterogamety. This suggests that presumed ancestral female heterogamety has persisted on Great Barrier Island and given rise to a WZZ-female/ZZ-male sex chromosome s

The Amazon rainforest along the Andean foothills contains exceptionally high diversity, much of it recent. The complex geology of the Andes and paleoclimate fluctuations preclude complex dispersal scenarios. This, in turn, has contributed to idiosyncratic speciation modes among shallowly-diverged Amazonian taxa. The poison frog genus Ameerega recently radiated throughout the Andes and Amazon (MRCA ~8.7 mya), with some taxa diverging as recently as the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene. Some species-level relationships remain poorly resolved, especially among recently diverged taxa. Here, I d

The endemic New Zealand frog, Leiopelma hochstetteri, is characterized by variable numbers of mitotically-stable B chromosomes. In order to assess whether the B chromosomes had been derived from the autosome complement, B DNA was isolated and amplified by micromanipulation in conjunction with degenerate oligonucleotide-primed PCR. Southern hybridization patterns of B DNA probes to genomic DNA from males and females characterized by differing numbers of B's demonstrated that the B chromosomes were derived from the univalent W chromosome which is specific to females.

A major goal of ecology and evolutionary biology is to explain patterns of species richness among clades. Differences in rates of net diversification (speciation minus extinction over time) may often explain these patterns, but the factors that drive variation in diversification rates remain uncertain. Three important candidates are climatic niche position (e.g., whether clades are primarily temperate or tropical), rates of climatic niche change among species within clades, and microhabitat (e.g., aquatic, terrestrial, arboreal). The first two factors have been tested separately in several stu

Evolutionary transitions between the two major predator avoidance strategies aposematism and crypsis are expected to be associated with changes in many important traits of animals. However, empirical studies on populations experiencing ongoing or recent transitions between these strategies are rare.

Understanding how migration, genetic drift, and natural selection interact to maintain the genetic and phenotypic variation we observe in natural populations is a central goal of population genetics. Amphibians provide excellent model organisms for investigating the interplay between these evolutionary forces because amphibians are generally characterized by limited dispersal abilities, high philopatry, and are obligately associated with the areas around suitable habitats (e.g. breeding ponds). Thus, on relatively small geographic scales, the relative effects of all of these evolutionary force

Vertebrate genomes exhibit global methylation of cytosine residues where they occur in a cytosine-guanine dinucleotide (CpG) context and this epigenetic mark is generally thought to be repressive to transcription. Punctuating this pervasive DNA methylation landscape are short, contiguous regions of non-methylated DNA which are found at two thirds of mammalian gene promoters. These non-methylated regions exhibit CpG content close to expected levels as they escape the depletion of CpGs observed across the methylated fraction of the genome.

Vietnam has the greatest biodiversity of any country in Indochina. This diversity may be due to its topographically complex nature, with hills and mountains, drained by several independent river systems, covering three quarters of its area. Topographic complexity has undoubtedly had profound effects on the flora and fauna of the region. Recent surveys have uncovered several cryptic species in what were previously considered single widespread species. These discoveries have led some researchers to propose that widespread forest species do not, in fact, exist in Southeast Asia. To test these hyp

With 205 species, the caecilians are highly specialized worm-like forms that live a fossorial lifestyle, with a relatively narrow distribution in the tropic rainforests of South America, Africa and Asia (Duellman and Trueb, 1994; Amphibiaweb, 2015).

Living organisms are under selection not only for one, but also for several inheritable characters at the same time. Well-sampled and well-supported phylogenies are necessary for the studies of character evolution and their history. The poison frogs (Dendrobatidae) are a well-known example of aposematism in anurans. They include ~270 species of Neotropical frogs with aposematic (toxic and conspicuous) and non-defended (palatable and cryptic) species. The origin of aposematism in poison frogs is puzzling, because of its predicted low probability of establishment due to the prey's increased cons

Sexually selected traits are among the most costly, complex, and conspicuous elements of the phenotype. In polygynous reproductive systems, they evolve under strong selection by females. Why females favor those traits, however, is an on-going debate. Here, I use túngara frogs as a model system to study the evolution of communication under sexual selection. The wealth of available information on the behavior, neurophysiology, and reproductive biology of túngara frogs make them an ideal system to understand the patterns of signal evolution and explore the processes that have shaped them.

Sexual selection is responsible for a great diversity of elaborate male traits. A general female preference for males that have exaggerated traits drives this process, but the reasons females exhibit this preference are often unclear. Recent advances in understanding signal evolution have emerged from studies of receiver psychology that focus on how receivers perceive and process communication signals. I apply the perspective of receiver psychology to understand female preference for elaborate signals in túngara frogs (Physalaemus pustulosus). Male túngara frogs produce advertisement calls

Flamboyant colors are widespread throughout the animal kingdom. While many of these traits arise through sexual selection, bright coloration can also evolve through natural selection. Many aposematic species, for example, use conspicuous warning coloration to communicate their noxiousness to predators. Recent research suggests these signals can also function in the context of mate choice. Studies of warning color evolution can therefore provide new insights into how the interplay of natural and sexual selection impact the trajectory of conspicuous signal evolution.
