The genome sizes of ostracod crustaceans correlate with body size and phylogeny
46 47 Within animals a positive correlation between genome size and body size has been detected in 48 several taxa but not in others, such that it remains unknown how pervasive this pattern may be. 49 Here we provide another example of a positive relationship, in a group of crustaceans whose 50 genome sizes have not previously been investigated. We analyze genome size estimates for 46 51 specie...
متن کاملThe evolutionary history of cetacean brain and body size.
Cetaceans rival primates in brain size relative to body size and include species with the largest brains and biggest bodies to have ever evolved. Cetaceans are remarkably diverse, varying in both phenotypes by several orders of magnitude, with notable differences between the two extant suborders, Mysticeti and Odontoceti. We analyzed the evolutionary history of brain and body mass, and relative...
متن کاملEnvironmental and scale-dependent evolutionary trends in the body size of crustaceans.
The ecological and physiological significance of body size is well recognized. However, key macroevolutionary questions regarding the dependency of body size trends on the taxonomic scale of analysis and the role of environment in controlling long-term evolution of body size are largely unknown. Here, we evaluate these issues for decapod crustaceans, a group that diversified in the Mesozoic. A ...
متن کاملGenome size in arthropods; different roles of phylogeny, habitat and life history in insects and crustaceans
Despite the major role of genome size for physiology, ecology, and evolution, there is still mixed evidence with regard to proximate and ultimate drivers. The main causes of large genome size are proliferation of noncoding elements and/or duplication events. The relative role and interplay between these proximate causes and the evolutionary patterns shaped by phylogeny, life history traits or e...
متن کاملthe evaluation of language related engagment and task related engagment with the purpose of investigating the effect of metatalk and task typology
abstract while task-based instruction is considered as the most effective way to learn a language in the related literature, it is oversimplified on various grounds. different variables may affect how students are engaged with not only the language but also with the task itself. the present study was conducted to investigate language and task related engagement on the basis of the task typolog...
