Geographic variation in calcium and clutch size
For over a half century numerous hypotheses have surfaced aimed at explaining a key life history trait, the evolution of clutch size in birds. A principal goal has been to explain why clutch size generally increases with latitude both within species and among closely related species. Most hypotheses have stressed food limitation, predation, or seasonality. I present a novel hypothesis to explai...
متن کاملGeographic Variation in Cranial Features of the Polynesian Rat Rattus Exulans (peale, 1848) (mammalia: Rodentia: Muridae)
– Geographic variation in skulls of the Polynesian rat, Rattus exulans (Peale, 1848) (Mammalia: Rodentia: Muridae) was examined based on 18 morphometric characters of 374 specimens collected from the Southeast and East Asia including the continent north of the Isthmus of Kra, the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatera, Jawa, Philippines, Sulawesi, Flores, Maluku, Taiwan, Ryukyus, New Guinea, and the...
متن کاملGenome size variation in lepidopteran insects
Little information is available on genome size diversity among insects, even in otherwise well-studied groups such as the Lepidoptera. In fact, only six lepidopteran species have been studied to date. The present study therefore represents the first attempt to survey genome size variation in this group, giving estimates for more than 50 species and increasing the coverage of the order to 15 fam...
متن کاملGenome size variation in deep-sea amphipods
Genome size varies considerably across taxa, and extensive research effort has gone into understanding whether variation can be explained by differences in key ecological and life-history traits among species. The extreme environmental conditions that characterize the deep sea have been hypothesized to promote large genome sizes in eukaryotes. Here we test this supposition by examining genome s...
متن کاملGeographic Size Variation in Birds and Its Relationship to Climate
There is a high degree of concordance among the patterns of geographic size variation in birds in the eastern and central United States. This is demonstrated for 12 species by assuming that wing length measurements are an indicator of body size on the intraspecific level, and by arranging the data in the form of a grid of means of wing lengths for sample areas. Maps giving isophenetic lines for...
