Ecological correlates of secondary sexual dimorphism in Salix glauca (Salicaceae).
The ecological causation hypothesis for secondary sexual dimorphism was tested in Salix glauca, a dioecious willow shrub. Plants growing in a Colorado Rocky Mountain (USA) krummholz mosaic of mesic and xeric patches were monitored for four consecutive years. Ecological causation is predicated on unique resource demands associated with sexual function. In S. glauca, seeds have twofold higher N a...
متن کاملDominance and Sexual Dimorphism Pervade the Salix purpurea L. Transcriptome
The heritability of gene expression is critical in understanding heterosis and is dependent on allele-specific regulation by local and remote factors in the genome. We used RNA-Seq to test whether variation in gene expression among F1 and F2 intraspecific Salix purpurea progeny is attributable to cis- and trans-regulatory divergence. We assessed the mode of inheritance based on gene expression ...

متن کاملPhylogenetic Relationships of American Willows (Salix L., Salicaceae)
Salix L. is the largest genus in the family Salicaceae (450 species). Several classifications have been published, but taxonomic subdivision has been under continuous revision. Our goal is to establish the phylogenetic structure of the genus using molecular data on all American willows, using three DNA markers. This complete phylogeny of American willows allows us to propose a biogeographic fra...
متن کاملSexual Dimorphism in the Three-toed Amphiuma, Amphiuma tridactylum: Sexual Selection or Ecological Causes
Sexual dimorphism is widespread among vertebrates, and may be attributable to sexual selection, differences in ecology between the sexes, or both. The large aquatic salamander, Amphiuma tridactylum, has been suggested to have male biased sexual dimorphism that is attributable to male–male combat, although detailed evidence is lacking. To test this, data were collected on A. tridactylum head and...
