Fetal adaptations for viviparity in amphibians [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, 2014
ABSTRACTLive‐bearing has evolved in all three orders of amphibians—frogs, salamanders, and caecilians. Developing young may be either yolk dependent, or maternal nutrients may be supplied after yolk is resorbed, depending on the species. Among frogs, embryos in two distantly related lineages develop in the skin of the maternal parents' backs; they are ...

Next-generation sequencing yields a nearly complete mitochondrial genome of the Multiocellated Racerunner (Eremias multiocellata) in Northwest China

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The viviparous Multiocellated Racerunner, Eremias multiocellata, is widespread in North China, Mongolia, and the Tuva Republic of Russia. A nearly complete mitochondrial genome of one individual from the suburb of Jingyuan County in Northwest China was ...

Reproducción asincrónica de Sceloporus palaciosi (Sauria: Phrynosomatidae) en México, con comentarios sobre sus ventajas y regulación

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 1998
Fall reproduction is a common pattern in viviparous lizards from Mexican mountains. The reproductive pattern of Sceloporus palaciosi is seasonal but asynchronous between sexes.

Pathological Parthenogenesis in Viviparous Toothcarps [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1958
IN viviparous toothcarps parthenogenesis has been described in Lebistes reticulatus 1,2 and Xiphophorus helleri 2, while in this species also some cases of development of ovarial teratomas, caused by pathological parthenogenesis, are known3. In addition to these cases we observed a new one, namely in Heterandria formosa.

Egg retention and intrauterine embryonic development in Sceloporus aeneus (Reptilia: Phrynosomatidae): implications for the evolution of viviparity

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2012
Egg retention (ER) and intrauterine embryonic development (IED) have been considered intermediate steps in the evolution from oviparity to viviparity. Sceloporus aeneus is an oviparous lizard that is closely related to the viviparous species (Sceloporus ...

Living Environment and Basic Features of the Nematodes Associated with Dung Beetle Onthophagus atripennis

open access: yesJournal of Nematology
Viviparity is a very rare reproductive mode in nematodes, having been documented in only six species. Five of these species have been isolated among the dung beetles Onthophagus, suggesting that studying the environments associated with dung beetles may ...

Natural variation in the Caenorhabditis elegans egg-laying circuit modulates an intergenerational fitness trade-off

open access: yeseLife
Evolutionary transitions from egg laying (oviparity) to live birth (viviparity) are common across various taxa. Many species also exhibit genetic variation in egg-laying mode or display an intermediate mode with laid eggs containing embryos at various ...

How conflict shapes evolution in poeciliid fishes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The viviparity driven conflict hypothesis predicts the evolution of the placenta will suppress the evolution of traits associated with pre-copulatory mate choice and accelerate speciation rate. Furness et al.
