Stem anatomy in the spiny american palm Bactris (Arecaceae-Bactridinae)
(Stem anatomy in the spiny american palm Bactris (Arecaceae-Bactridinae)). Bactris trunks are made entirely by long sustained primary growth so that mechanical properties develop progressively as the trunk matures. Anatomical features vary throughout the stem so that one small sample is a limited representation. This limits the use for stem histology with systematic purposes. We examined stem a...
متن کاملClock gene evolution: seasonal timing, phylogenetic signal, or functional constraint?
Genetic determinants of seasonal reproduction are not fully understood but may be important predictors of organism responses to climate change. We used a comparative approach to study the evolution of seasonal timing within a fish community in a natural common garden setting. We tested the hypothesis that allelic length variation in the PolyQ domain of a circadian rhythm gene, Clock1a, correspo...
متن کاملEvolution of climatic niche specialization: a phylogenetic analysis in amphibians.
The evolution of climatic niche specialization has important implications for many topics in ecology, evolution and conservation. The climatic niche reflects the set of temperature and precipitation conditions where a species can occur. Thus, specialization to a limited set of climatic conditions can be important for understanding patterns of biogeography, species richness, community structure,...
متن کاملThe climatic niche diversity of Malagasy primates: A phylogenetic approach
Background: Numerous researchers have posited that there should be a strong negative relationship between the evolutionary distance among species and their ecological similarity. Alternative evidence suggests that members of adaptive radiations should display no relationship between divergence time and ecological similarity because rapid evolution results in near-simultaneous speciation early i...
متن کاملStem Vascular Architecture in the Rattan Palm
Climbing stems in the rattan genus Calamus can reach lengths of well over 100 m, are long-lived, and yet their vascular tissue is entirely primary. Such a combination suggests that stem vasculature is efficient and resistant to hydraulic disruption. By means of an optical shuttle and video recording of sequential images we analyzed the stem of a cultivated species. The stem has vascular feature...
