Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overarching goal of this dissertation to show some patterns and processes involved in the diversification of the New World direct-developing frogs. Extant biodiversity is the result of the interplay between the historical processes of diversification, dispersal (or range shifts), and extinction, understanding mechanisms that drive these processes is essential in evolutionary biology. The lineage-specific phylogenetic baggage of species impinges particularities or trends that may ultimately affect their survival, extinction, and diversification. Moreover, the most important mechanisms generating and maintaining species diversity vary depending on the taxonomic, spatial and temporal scale over which they are quantified. The spatial mechanism could be understood at regional scales, the variation in the timing and rate of lineage diversification, and ecological factors, including the current and past expanse of suitable habitat. Whereas at local scales, biotic interactions and trait evolution in community assembly appear to be the most influential. Another way to assess the mechanism underlying the diversification process is by recognizing their characteristics, both intrinsic, e.g., body size, morphological adaptations, or genomic features, and extrinsic, e.g., microhabitat, environmental variation, or range size, both factors play a role in the survival or extinction of the lineage members and are required to understand extant diversity, the diversification process and its current distribution. Our aim is to explore the systematics, biogeography, and phlylogeography at different taxonomic levels of one of the most diverse groups of tetrapods: New World direct-developing frogs.
Download or read book The Hemiphractid Frogs written by Michael Schmid and published by S. Karger AG (Switzerland). This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a wealth of current and archival information This monograph is an exhaustive analysis of the biology of hemiphractid frogs, presenting results obtained over a 43-year period on 16 expeditions to Central and South America, Trinidad and Tobago and from several laboratories (Canada, Ecuador, Germany, and USA). The focus of this study is on chromosomes, but it also includes very detailed chapters on phylogeny, classification, biogeography, and especially on reproduction, oogenesis, spermatogenesis, and embryogenesis. Further notable sections are devoted to developmental biology, life history and population declines in hemiphractids. The major proportion of this book describes the karyotypes of 397 individuals representing 23 hemiphractid species. All karyotypes are illustrated by superb photographs selected from many hundreds taken. Modern techniques of preparation including special staining, molecular probes, in situ hybridization, and genome size measurements were used to generate these data which are also interpreted in context with the cytogenetic data published for other amphibian taxa or vertebrates. Providing a wealth of current and archival information on hemiphractid biology and cytogenetics, this monograph is recommended for specialists in the fields of zoology, herpetology, embryology and cytogenetics, as well as for students with an interest in vertebrate cytogenetics.
Download or read book The Arboranan Frogs written by Claus Steinlein and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is a comprehensive study of arboranan frogs (families Hylidae, Phyllomedusidae, and Pelodryadidae). It presents results achieved over a 38-year period. As arboranan frogs are practically cosmopolitan, absent only from sub-Saharan Africa and southeastern Asia, this publication is an international venture with collaborators from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ecuador, Germany, Thailand, and the USA. Introductory chapters cover phylogeny, classification, biogeography, life history, and population declines of Arboranae, but the focus of the book is on oogenesis, spermatogenesis, early embryogenesis, and, especially, the structure and evolution of chromosomes. Like its predecessors on terraranan and hemiphractid frogs (2010 and 2012, respectively), this volume represents an immense initiative to assemble all available information on the cytogenetics of a very large monophyletic group of frogs. It also shows the substantial effort being made to provide new data with everything properly placed in a phylogenetic, evolutionary, and biogeographic framework.
