Functional Consequences of Acute Temperature Stress in the Western Fence Lizard, Sceloporus Occidentalis
One of the ongoing goals of evolutionary biology is to understand geographic variation in organism phenotypes along environmental gradients. Phenotypic differences among populations can reflect local adaptation, which results from genetic differentiation among populations, phenotypic plasticity, which results from phenotypic variation in a genotype along an environmental gradient, or, a combina...
متن کاملTesting the Persistence of Phenotypic Plasticity After Incubation in the Western Fence Lizard, Sceloporus Occidentalis
Hypothesis: Phenotypic variation in traits induced by different incubation temperatures does not persist into the lifetime of young lizards, and therefore contributes little to variation in long-term fitness. Organism: Western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis). Methods: Split-clutch laboratory incubation experiment including eggs from two different populations under two different incubatio...

متن کاملImpaired terrestrial and arboreal locomotor performance in the western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) after exposure to an AChE-inhibiting pesticide.
We examined the effects of a commonly used AChE-inhibiting pesticide on terrestrial and arboreal sprint performance, important traits for predator avoidance and prey capture, in the western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis). Lizards were exposed to carbaryl (2.5, 25, and 250 microg/g) and were raced before and 4, 24, and 96 h after dosing. In the terrestrial setting, exposure to low concen...
متن کاملIsolation and partial characterization of proteins involved in maternal transfer of selenium in the western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis).
Selenium from dietary exposure is efficiently transferred from mother to offspring in oviparous vertebrates, where it can cause severe teratogenic effects. We isolated and partially characterized proteins involved in maternal transfer of selenium in the oviparous lizard Sceloporus occidentalis using size-exclusion chromatography, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, and polyacrylamide ...
