This study represents an important first step towards understanding the genomic basis of the evolution of pueriparity in a remarkable bimodal reproductive system, and provides transcriptomic resources and candidate genes for future research into the genomic architecture underlying this poorly understood adaptive trait.

these results highlight a recurrent process in which refugial lineages do not diverge in strict isolation but repeatedly experience gene flow, thus reducing opportunities to speciate, and blurring tree-based phylogeographic and systematic hypotheses. Leer más.
Our results showthat animals change capture style and exploration behavior in function of light conditions suggesting an intrinsic plasticity inthe species allowing it to feed in both environments. However, the kinematics of capture suggest population‐specific behaviorsallowing cave‐dwellers to be more efficient in capturing prey under total darkness. Leer más.
Las ranas de cristal tienen una característica extraordinaria que les permite prácticamente desaparecer entre la vegetación: mientras duermen, esconden cerca del 90% de sus glóbulos rojos dentro del hígado, lo que aumenta considerablemente la transparencia de su cuerpo. Leer más.
The findings highlight that density dependence plays an important role in population dynamics and that some, but not all, populations may be buffered against external stressors (e.g., pulse perturbations caused by pesticides). Leer más.
