Pan-African phylogeography of a model organism, the African clawed frog 'Xenopus laevis'.
The African clawed frog Xenopus laevis has a large native distribution over much of sub-Saharan Africa and is a model organism for research, a proposed disease vector, and an invasive species. Despite its prominent role in research and abundance in nature, surprisingly little is known about the phylogeography and evolutionary history of this group. Here, we report an analysis of molecular varia...
متن کاملModulation of in vivo muscle power output during swimming in the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis).
The goal of this study is to explore how swimming animals produce the wide range of performance that is seen across their natural behaviors. In vivo recordings of plantaris longus muscle length change were obtained by sonomicrometry. Simultaneous with muscle length data, force measurements were obtained using a novel tendon buckle force transducer placed on the Achilles tendon of Xenopus laevis...
متن کاملDevelopmental changes in oxygen consumption regulation in larvae of the South African clawed frog Xenopus laevis
Well-developed larval Xenopus laevis (NF stages 58­66) are oxygen regulators, at least during mild hypoxia. When and how they change from oxygen conformers (the presumed condition of the fertilized egg) to oxygen regulators is unknown. Also unknown is how anaerobic metabolic capabilities change during development, especially in response to acute hypoxia, and to what extent, if any, anaerobi...
متن کاملImpacts of Climate Change on the Global Invasion Potential of the African Clawed Frog Xenopus laevis
By altering or eliminating delicate ecological relationships, non-indigenous species are considered a major threat to biodiversity, as well as a driver of environmental change. Global climate change affects ecosystems and ecological communities, leading to changes in the phenology, geographic ranges, or population abundance of several species. Thus, predicting the impacts of global climate chan...
متن کاملMetabolic cost of osmoregulation in a hypertonic environment in the invasive African clawed frog Xenopus laevis
Studies of aquatic invertebrates reveal that salinity affects feeding and growth rates, reproduction, survival, and diversity. Little is known, however, about how salinity impacts the energy budget of vertebrates and amphibians in particular. The few studies focused on this topic in vertebrates suggest that the ingestion of salts and the resulting osmoregulatory activity is energetically expens...
