Physiological variation and phenotypic plasticity: a response to 'Plasticity in arthropod cryotypes' by Hawes and Bale.
In a recent publication, Hawes and Bale provide an extended discussion of phenotypic plasticity in the context of low temperature responses of animals. They argue that phenotypic plasticity may be partitioned phylogenetically at several levels and go on to explore these levels, and cold hardiness strategies that they term cryotypes, which in their view constitute cryotypic plasticity. Here we a...
متن کاملA postscript on cryotypes.
Phylogenetic analysis is a theoretical construct that employs a nested hierarchy of 'subroutines' to relate discrete elements ('phyle' from the Greek for 'tribes') to their wider origins ('genesis' from the Greek for 'birth' or 'origins'). Its modern usage ranges from molecular biology to ecology, where it may be used to relate elements not connected by DNA (Wanntorp et al., 1990). Cryotypes ma...
متن کاملBehaviorally Related Neural Plasticity in the Arthropod Optic Lobes
BACKGROUND Due to the complexity and variability of natural environments, the ability to adaptively modify behavior is of fundamental biological importance. Motion vision provides essential cues for guiding critical behaviors such as prey, predator, or mate detection. However, when confronted with the repeated sight of a moving object that turns out to be irrelevant, most animals will learn to ...
متن کاملWhat arthropod brains say about arthropod phylogeny.
W hat can we learn from the brain of a single member of a species? If the brain is that of a remipede, the focus of a report by Fanenbruck et al. (1) in this issue of PNAS, the answer is something new about arthropod phylogeny. The Remipedia, discovered in 1979, are crustaceans found deep in the waters of coastal caves (2, 3). To date, twelve species of remipedes are known: one from a single ca...
متن کاملFungal metabolic plasticity and sexual development mediate induced resistance to arthropod fungivory.
Prey organisms do not tolerate predator attack passively but react with a multitude of inducible defensive strategies. Although inducible defence strategies are well known in plants attacked by herbivorous insects, induced resistance of fungi against fungivorous animals is largely unknown. Resistance to fungivory is thought to be mediated by chemical properties of fungal tissue, i.e. by product...
