Life-history Variation in the Sagebrush Lizard: Phenotypic Plasticity or Local Adaptation?
We performed a laboratory common-environment study to determine the genetic and environmental sources of variation in growth rates of the sagebrush lizard (Sceloporus graciosus). Hatchling lizards were reared from gravid females collected from three study populations along an elevational gradient in southern Utah, USA. Hatchlings were fed ad libidum and were maintained on a 14:10 light:dark cyc...
متن کاملDeprenyl Can Mediate Neuronal Protection Rather than Neuronal Rescue
Background and Objective: Deprenyl is a drug for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, where the dopaminergic neurons are the target of this drug. Several reports also documented that deprenyl has an effect on the sensory and motor neurons. There are some reports about the mode of action of deprenyl on m...
متن کاملCan Risk Aversion Explain Schooling Attainments?: evidence from Italy
Can Risk Aversion Explain Schooling Attainments? Evidence from Italy Using unique Italian panel data, in which individual differences in behavior toward risk are measured from answers to a lottery question, we investigate if (and to what extent) risk aversion can explain differences in schooling attainments. We formulate the schooling decision process as a reduced-form dynamic discrete choice. ...
متن کاملPredation, food limitation, phenotypic plasticity and life-history variation in Gambusia hubbsi.
Langerhans et al. (2007) present molecular data, morphological variation of both males and females, and female mate preferences as evidence that ecological speciation, mediated by differences in exposure to predation by piscivores (Gobiomorus dormitor as well other piscivorous fish), occurred among populations of Gambusia hubbsi occupying blue holes on Andros, Commonwealth of the Bahamas. Their...
متن کاملPhenotypic plasticity in two marine snails: constraints superseding life history.
In organisms encountering predictable environments, fixed development is expected, whereas in organisms that cannot predict their future environment, phenotypic plasticity would be optimal to increase local adaptation. To test this prediction we experimentally compared phenotypic plasticity in two rocky-shore snail species; Littorina saxatilis releasing miniature snails on the shore, and Littor...
