Microsatellite discovery in an insular amphibian (Grandisonia alternans) with comments on cross-species utility and the accuracy of locus identification from unassembled Illumina data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Seychelles archipelago is unique among isolated oceanic islands because it features an endemic radiation of caecilian amphibians (Gymnophiona). In order to develop population genetics resources for this system, we identified microsatellite loci using

Anatomy of the female reproductive system and sperm storage of the viviparous caecilian Typhlonectes natans (Gymnophiona: Typhlonectidae)

open access: yesActa Biologica, 2018
Here, we describe the anatomy of the female reproductive system of the aquatic, viviparous caecilian Typhlonectes natans. We conducted our research on two adult females using light microscopy and reflected our results with the available literature data ...

A new lungless caecilian (Amphibia: Gymnophiona) from Guyana [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009
We report the discovery of a single specimen of a small, terrestrial, lungless caecilian, the second known taxon of lungless caecilians. It differs from all other caecilians in lacking open external nares, and from the large aquatic lungless species described by Nussbaum & Wilkinson (Nussbaum, R. A. & Wilkinson, M. 1995

Multi-tissue transcriptomes of caecilian amphibians highlight incomplete knowledge of vertebrate gene families [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become one of the most powerful tools to unravel the genomic basis of biological adaptation & diversity. Although challenging, RNA-seq is particularly promising for research on non-model, secretive species that cannot be ...

Insights into the skin of caecilian amphibians from gene expression profiles

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2020
Background Gene expression profiles can provide insights into the molecular machinery behind tissue functions and, in turn, can further our understanding of environmental responses, and developmental and evolutionary processes.

Do cladistic and morphometric data capture common patterns of morphological disparity? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The distinctly non-random diversity of organismal form manifests itself in discrete clusters of taxa that share a common body plan. As a result, analyses of disparity require a scalable comparative framework.
