The evolution of coloration and toxicity in the poison frog family (Dendrobatidae)
(East Carolina University, 2001-05-22)The poison frogs (family Dendrobatidae) are terrestrial anuran amphibians displaying a wide range of coloration and toxicity. These frogs generally have been considered to be aposematic, but relatively little ... -
The evolution of land plants: A perspective from horizontal gene transfer
(2014-12-04)Recent studies suggest that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) played a significant role in the evolution of eukaryotic lineages. We here review the mechanisms of HGT in plants and the importance of HGT in land plant evolution. ... -
Evolution of olfactory receptors in birds
(East Carolina University, 2022-12-05)Olfaction is an evolutionary ancient sensation, and is the perception and interpretation of chemical stimuli from surrounding air or water. Olfaction is an essential sensory modality for nearly all animals, and is used to ... -
The Evolution of Organ Shape : Distal Tip Cell Migration and Gonadogenesis in Nematodes
(East Carolina University, 2013)Animals display a variety of shapes in nature. The different shape of homologous organs allows them to adopt different functions and therefore, allows animals to live in different ecological niches. However, little is ... -
The evolution of parental care and egg size: a comparative analysis in frogs
(East Carolina University, 2006-03-22)The evolution of parental care and egg size has attracted considerable attention and theoretical debate. Several different hypotheses have been proposed concerning the trajectories of parental care and egg size evolution ... -
