Decoupled evolution of display morphology and display behaviour in phrynosomatid lizards
A widespread trend in animals is the evolution of morphological ornaments and behaviours that are involved in aggressive and courtship displays. These display traits are important from the standpoint of communication, sexual selection, and speciation. Previous authors have suggested that the evolution of display morphology and display behaviour should be closely linked. In this study, I tested ...
متن کاملThe effect of parity on morphological evolution among phrynosomatid lizards.
The shift from egg laying to live-bearing is one of the most well-studied transitions in evolutionary biology. Few studies, however, have assessed the effect of this transition on morphological evolution. Here, we evaluated the effect of reproductive mode on the morphological evolution of 10 traits, among 108 species of phrynosomatid lizards. We assess whether the requirement for passing shelle...
متن کاملIn-vitro protein evolution by ribosome display and mRNA display.
In-vitro display technologies combine two important advantages for identifying and optimizing ligands by evolutionary strategies. First, by obviating the need to transform cells in order to generate and select libraries, they allow a much higher library diversity. Second, by including PCR as an integral step in the procedure, they make PCR-based mutagenesis strategies convenient. The resulting ...
متن کاملEnvironmental monitoring of display cases in museums to consider the impact of display cases characteristics on their inner air quality
While technical characteristics, such as material used in the construction of display cases and their dimensions are important factors in terms of presentation quality as well as attracting the attention of the visitors, they can influence the inner air quality of the display case and preservation conditions of the exhibits too. This study intends to examine the effect of the technical characte...
متن کاملEvolution of colorful display.
How the displays of bowerbirds have evolved has attracted widespread interest. Endler et al. (2005) analyzed color use in display in a subset of bowerbird species and generalized their results to all bowerbirds. Here we discuss problems with their analysis that calls into question their conclusions. For example, they state that bowerbirds do not use decorations that match their background, but ...
