Individualistic Population Responses of Five Frog Species in Two Changing Tropical Environments over Time
Roughly 40% of amphibian species are in decline with habitat loss, disease, and climate change being the most cited threats. Heterogeneity of extrinsic (e.g. climate) and intrinsic (e.g. local adaptations) factors across a species' range should influence population response to climate change and other threats. Here we examine relative detectability changes for five direct-developing leaf litter...
متن کاملRefugia revisited: individualistic responses of species in space and time.
Climate change in the past has led to significant changes in species' distributions. However, how individual species respond to climate change depends largely on their adaptations and environmental tolerances. In the Quaternary, temperate-adapted taxa are in general confined to refugia during glacials while cold-adapted taxa are in refugia during interglacials. In the Northern Hemisphere, evide...
متن کاملModeling Population Dynamics in Changing Environments
Discrete replicator dynamics view evolution as a coordination game played among genes. While previous models of discrete replicator dynamics do not consider environments that respond to the mixed strategy that a population plays, our model incorporates a feedbackbased payoff matrix, which depends on the frequency distribution of alleles. In this model, we construct an environment that is compos...
متن کاملPneumococcal adaptive responses to changing host environments.
Despite being an exclusive human pathogen, Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is highly adaptable to the various host niches it encounters. It is foremost an exceptional colonizer of the human nasopharynx, where it has developed an array of strategies to adjust to both host factors and other microbial flora that reside there. Upon changes in this environment, often associated with viru...
متن کاملDivergent Receiver Responses to Components of Multimodal Signals in Two Foot-Flagging Frog Species
Multimodal communication of acoustic and visual signals serves a vital role in the mating system of anuran amphibians. To understand signal evolution and function in multimodal signal design it is critical to test receiver responses to unimodal signal components versus multimodal composite signals. We investigated two anuran species displaying a conspicuous foot-flagging behavior in addition to...
