A new reproductive mode in anurans: Natural history of Bokermannohyla astartea (Anura: Hylidae) with the description of its tadpole and vocal repertoire. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Anurans have the greatest diversity of reproductive modes among tetrapod vertebrates, with at least 41 being currently recognized. We describe a new reproductive mode for anurans, as exhibited by the Paranapiacaba Treefrog, Bokermannohyla astartea, an ...

Difference in reproductive mode rather than ploidy explains niche differentiation in sympatric sexual and apomictic populations of Potentilla puberula [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Apomicts tend to have larger geographical distributional ranges and to occur in ecologically more extreme environments than their sexual progenitors. However, the expression of apomixis is typically linked to polyploidy.

Does the Degree of Mutualism between Epichloë Fungi and Botanophila Flies Depend upon the Reproductive Mode of the Fungi? [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Epichloë (Ascomycota: Clavicipitaceae) fungi can form an intriguing interaction with Botanophila flies. The fungi live within above-ground shoots of grasses.

Variation in body size and sexual size dimorphism in the most widely ranging lizard: testing the effects of reproductive mode and climate. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 Reproductive mode, ancestry, and climate are hypothesized to determine body size variation in reptiles but their effects have rarely been estimated simultaneously, especially at the intraspecific level.

Diversity, 2022 Currently, the reproductive mode of the Indonesian endemic species Corbicula tobae from Lake Toba is yet to be investigated. In this study, we describe, for the first time, the reproductive mode of this endemic species based on a series of topotype ...

Reconstructing geographical parthenogenesis: effects of niche differentiation and reproductive mode on Holocene range expansion of an alpine plant. [PDF]
Ecol Lett, 2018 Asexual taxa often have larger ranges than their sexual progenitors, particularly in areas affected by Pleistocene glaciations. The reasons given for this ‘geographical parthenogenesis’ are contentious, with expansion of the ecological niche or ...

Evolutionary transitions in body plan and reproductive mode alter maintenance metabolism in squamates. [PDF]
BMC Evol Biol, 2018 BackgroundEnergy (resources) acquired by animals should be allocated towards competing demands, maintenance, growth, reproduction and fat storage. Reproduction has the second lowest priority in energy allocation and only is allowed after meeting the ...

Driving factors and temporal fluctuation of Collembola communities and reproductive mode across forest types and regions. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2017 Despite the major role of Collembola in forest soil animal food webs, ecological and evolutionary determinants of their community composition are not well understood.

Effects of polyploidy and reproductive mode on life history trait expression. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2016 Ploidy elevation is increasingly recognized as a common and important source of genomic variation. Even so, the consequences and biological significance of polyploidy remain unclear, especially in animals.
