Phenotypic and Genetic Divergence among Poison Frog Populations in a Mimetic Radiation
(2013)
The evolution of Müllerian mimicry is, paradoxically, associated with high levels of diversity in color and pattern. In a mimetic radiation, different populations of a species evolve to resemble different models, which can ...
Evidence for acquisition of virulence effectors in pathogenic chytrids
(2011)
Background
The decline in amphibian populations across the world is frequently linked to the infection of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). This is particularly perplexing because Bd was only recently ...
Variation in pigmentation gene expression is associated with distinct aposematic color morphs in the poison frog Dendrobates auratus
(2019-04-18)
Abstract
Background
Color and pattern phenotypes have clear implications for survival and reproduction in many species. However, the mechanisms that produce this coloration ...
