Rana pipiens complex: hemoglobin phenotypes of sympatric and allopatric populations in Arizona.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrophoretic comparison of hemoglobin samples from numerous populations of Rana pipiens in Arizona reveals three distinct phenotypes that closely correlate with morphological differences. Hemoglobin samples from sympatric locations contain parental phenotypes with only the occasional occurrence of a hybrid. These data support the contention that the Rana pipiens complex consists of several species.

Premating Isolating Mechanisms Among Three Species of the Rana pipiens Complex in Texas and Southern Oklahoma
Prior tests of interfertility among 3 partly sympatric species of the Rana pipiens complex (R. berlandieri, R. blairi, and R. sphenocephala) have indicated poor development of postmating reproductive isolation. However, hybrids are uncommon in sympatric populations, so premating isolation must exist. Among the species studied, temporal isolation predominates. In areas of tri-sympatry, the breed...
متن کاملMeadow pipit ( Anthus pratensis ) egg appearance in cuckoo ( Cuculus canorus ) sympatric and allopatric populations
Host populations tend to show less ability to discriminate against parasites when living in their absence. However, comparison of rejection rates among sympatric and allopatric host populations does not allow determination of whether the greater tolerance in allopatric populations reflects a genetic change or phenotypic plasticity. Here we test the existence of changes in a host’s adaptation to...

متن کاملCharacter shifts in the defensive armor of sympatric sticklebacks.
Natural enemies may contribute to the morphological divergence of sympatric species, yet their role has received little attention to date. We tested for character shifts in defensive armor of sympatric threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus complex) previously shown to exhibit ecological character displacement in traits related to resource use. We scored five defensive armor traits in ...
متن کاملFemale Preference for Sympatric vs. Allopatric Male Throat Color Morphs in the Mesquite Lizard (Sceloporus grammicus) Species Complex
Color polymorphic sexual signals are often associated with alternative reproductive behaviors within populations, and the number, frequency, or type of morphs present often vary among populations. When these differences lead to assortative mating by population, the study of such polymorphic taxa may shed light on speciation mechanisms. We studied two populations of a lizard with polymorphic thr...
