Morphometry of two cryptic tree frog species at their hybrid zone reveals neither intermediate nor transgressive morphotypes

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Under incomplete reproductive isolation, secondary contact of diverged allopatric lineages may lead to the formation of hybrid zones that allow to study recombinants over several generations as excellent systems of genomic interactions resulting from the

Life History, Growth, and Reproductive Biology of Four Mobulid Species in the Bohol Sea, Philippines

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
In light of the global decline of mobulid populations and the necessity for sustainable fisheries management, baseline data for population dynamics were collected from a targeted fishery in the Bohol Sea, Philippines.

Vertebrate pseudogenes [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2000
Pseudogenes are commonly encountered during investigation of the genomes of a wide range of life forms. This review concentrates on vertebrate, and in particular mammalian, pseudogenes and describes their origin and subsequent evolution. Consideration is also given to pseudogenes that are transcribed and to the unusual group of genes that exist at the ...

Female Sex Development and Reproductive Duct Formation Depend on Wnt4a in Zebrafish. [PDF]

, 2019
In laboratory strains of zebrafish, sex determination occurs in the absence of a typical sex chromosome and it is not known what regulates the proportion of animals that develop as males or females.

Hybridisation generates a hopeful monster: a hermaphroditic selfing cichlid [PDF]

, 2016
Compared to other phylogenetic groups, self-fertilization (selfing) is exceedingly rare in vertebrates and is known to occur only in one small clade of fishes.

Genome elimination from the germline cells in diploid and triploid male water frogs Pelophylax esculentus

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Hybridogenesis is a hemiclonal reproductive strategy in diploid and triploid hybrids. Our study model is a frog P. esculentus (diploid RL and triploids RLL and RRL), a natural hybrid between P. lessonae (LL) and P. ridibundus (RR).

How can the home range of the Lesser Kestrel be affected by a large civil infrastructure?

Avian Research, 2019
Background The loss of traditional agropastoral systems, with the consequent reduction of foraging habitats and prey availability, is one of the main causes for the fast decline of Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni).

Disentangling the Diversity of the Labeobarbus Taxa (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) from the Epulu Basin (DR Congo, Africa)

Diversity, 2022
In an attempt to disentangle the complex taxonomy of the Labeobarbus species of the Epulu River, a right bank headwater affluent of the Aruwimi, Central Congo basin, a morphological study was undertaken on 221 specimens from the Epulu and 32 type ...
