Neoteny with Goitre in Triturus helveticus
A population of newts from a pond near Crail, Fife, was found to contain neotenic and goitrous specimens of Triturus helveticus in 1951 and 1952 but not in 1953 and 1954. This is a unique record of goitre among amphibians. The thyroid glands of normal adult and neotenic non-goitrous T. helveticus are paired spheroidal or ellipsoidal bodies whose longest dimension varies between 300 and 700 fi. ...
متن کاملNeoteny and progenesis as two heterochronic processes involved in paedomorphosis in Triturus alpestris (Amphibia: Caudata).
Current theories on the evolution of paedomorphosis suppose that several ontogenetic pathways have appeared according to different selective pressures. The aim of this study was to find out whether two distinct processes can lead to paedomorphosis in the Alpine newt, Triturus alpestris. In this respect, we compared age structures of paedomorphic and metamorphic individuals in two newt populatio...
متن کاملArtificial Neoteny in Evolutionary Image Segmentation
Neoteny, also spelled Paedomorphosis, can be defined in biological terms as the retention by an organism of juvenile or even larval traits into later life. In some species, all morphological development is retarded; the organism is juvenilized but sexually mature. Such shifts of reproductive capability would appear to have adaptive significance to organisms that exhibit it. In terms of evolutio...
متن کاملTranscriptional neoteny in the human brain.
In development, timing is of the utmost importance, and the timing of developmental processes often changes as organisms evolve. In human evolution, developmental retardation, or neoteny, has been proposed as a possible mechanism that contributed to the rise of many human-specific features, including an increase in brain size and the emergence of human-specific cognitive traits. We analyzed mRN...
متن کاملAging and neoteny in the B lineage.
Aging and the physiologic decline of tissues and cells were once thought to be irreversible. However, recent studies suggest that various tissues, especially parts of the hematopoietic system, can be rejuvenated. Here we review potential mechanisms for this process and how they may be used to reverse age-related disorders and aging in general. We propose the novel hypothesis that altering the h...
