Developmental time and size-related traits in Drosophila buzzatii along an altitudinal gradient from Argentina.
Clinal analysis for fitness-related traits provides a well-known approach to investigate adaptive evolution. Several fitness-related traits (developmental time, thorax length, wing length and wing loading) were measured at two laboratory generations (G7 and G33) of D. buzzatii from an altitudinal gradient from northwestern Argentina, where significant thermal differences persist. Developmental ...
متن کاملHow does climate influence xylem morphogenesis over the growing season? Insights from long-term intra-ring anatomy in Picea abies.
Background and Aims During the growing season, the cambium of conifer trees produces successive rows of xylem cells, the tracheids, that sequentially pass through the phases of enlargement and secondary wall thickening before dying and becoming functional. Climate variability can strongly influence the kinetics of morphogenetic processes, eventually affecting tracheid shape and size. This study...
متن کاملXylem hydraulic conductivity related to conduit dimensions along chrysanthemum stems.
The stem xylem conduit dimensions and hydraulic conductivity of chrysanthemum plants (Dendranthema x grandiflorum Tzvelev cv. Cassa) were analysed and quantified. Simple exponential relations describe conduit length distribution, height dependency of conduit length distribution, and height dependency of stem hydraulic conductivity. These mathematical descriptions can be used to model the xylem ...
متن کاملContrasting Hydraulic Architectures of Scots Pine and Sessile Oak at Their Southernmost Distribution Limits
Many temperate European tree species have their southernmost distribution limits in the Mediterranean Basin. The projected climatic conditions, particularly an increase in dryness, might induce an altitudinal and latitudinal retreat at their southernmost distribution limit. Therefore, characterizing the morphological and physiological variability of temperate tree species under dry conditions i...
متن کاملClimate change and frog calls: long-term correlations along a tropical altitudinal gradient.
Temperature affects nearly all biological processes, including acoustic signal production and reception. Here, we report on advertisement calls of the Puerto Rican coqui frog (Eleutherodactylus coqui) that were recorded along an altitudinal gradient and compared these with similar recordings along the same altitudinal gradient obtained 23 years earlier. We found that over this period, at any gi...
