Broadly speaking, however, the term “poison frogs” may apply as well to other taxa which also possess skin toxins. Hereon, we refer to poison frogs as this extended group involving, besides Dendrobatoidea (Dendrobatidae + Aromobatidae), a few genera in families such as Bufonidae and Mantellidae (among others). Most studies on poison frogs have focused on species considered charismatic due to their bright and flashy colours, limiting possible generalisations of patterns and mechanisms explaining the high morphological, ecological, and behavioural differentiation, but also convergence, among these groups. Furthering our understanding of the evolutionary ecology of poison frogs requires increasing not only the scope and depth of our own questions, but also the number and diversity of study systems. Inspired by the special issue on dendrobatid and aromobatid poison frogs published ten years ago in this same journal, we have put together the present special issue aiming to broaden both the topics and the coverage of poison frog clades. This first part consists of 15 manuscripts covering topics ranging from larval behavioural ecology and parental care to space use and its environmental determinants, along with conservation implications.","PeriodicalId":55158,"journal":{"name":"Evolutionary Ecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140926155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The zone corresponds with an ecotone that transitions from closed-canopy deciduous forests in the east, occupied by TUTI, to arid and open woodlands in the west occupied by BCTI. Furthermore, the ecotone encompasses areas impacted by urban and suburban development. We tested whether landscape-level landcover characteristics found within the TUTI × BCTI hybrid zone influence the abundances of the two parent species and their hybrids. We predicted that the parent species would differ in their habitat associations and hybrids would associate with habitats intermediate between that of TUTI and BCTI and with human disturbed habitats. In ArcGIS Pro, we used a grid-based sampling design to extract estimates of six land cover variables (derived from National Landcover Database data) and TUTI, BCTI, and hybrid abundances (derived from eBird data). Partial redundancy analysis (RDA) was used to examine the habitat associations of the three titmice types. The results revealed that TUTI associated most strongly with the percentage of mixed forest cover, and BCTI with the percentage of evergreen forest cover and impervious surface cover. No single landcover variable could be identified as a definitive association for hybrids, however, hybrid individuals do appear to be more abundant in a habitat type that is intermediate between that of the two parent species. Future studies should incorporate genotypic data from titmice in the hybrid zone and analyze habitat associations at finer spatial scales to gain a more conclusive understanding of the patterns detected in this broad scale study.","PeriodicalId":55158,"journal":{"name":"Evolutionary Ecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140809164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interspecific studies have shown that leaf mass per area (LMA) and leaf toughness (force-to-punch) can play this role. Here we compared the influence of LMA and leaf toughness on herbivory and plant performance in a temperate rainforest. In seedlings of 14 evergreen species, we addressed the across-species relationship between LMA and force-to-punch, and compared the strength of their associations with herbivory and with species’ light requirements. Moreover, in four understory species we performed a multivariate analysis within-species, analogue to phenotypic selection analysis, evaluating the correlation between seedling performance, estimated as chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm), and force-to-punch, LMA, lamina density and lamina thickness. LMA and force-to-punch were positively associated across species. Herbivory was negatively correlated with both force-to-punch and LMA, but a stepwise multiple regression showed that force-to-punch was a better predictor of herbivory. Neither leaf lamina density nor thickness were associated with herbivore damage. Those species that were more shade-tolerant had leaves with higher force-to-punch and higher LMA, and less slender seedlings. In the within-species analyses in four shade-tolerant species, seedling performance was generally positively associated with force-to-punch, but not with LMA, lamina thickness, or lamina density. Both interspecific and within-species analyses showed that force-to-punch is more strongly related to herbivore damage and plant performance than LMA. This consistency between interspecific patterns of trait covariation and within-species trait-performance associations suggests that natural selection could have shaped the relationships between mechanical traits and ecological roles observed across species.","PeriodicalId":55158,"journal":{"name":"Evolutionary Ecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140617386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These aposematic phenotypes are strongly tied to survival and therefore make excellent opportunities to investigate the genetic underpinning of coloration. The genus Ranitomeya includes phenotypically diverse members of Neotropical aposematic poison frogs native to South America. Significant progress has been made in elucidating the molecular mechanisms responsible for aposematic coloration in poison frogs, which have paved the way for future studies to test hypotheses of the evolution of coloration across aposematic vertebrates. However, very little is known about whether these color related genes are under positive selection. We assembled transcriptomes from publicly available data reads sets for 9 different color morphs of poison frogs in the Ranitomeya genus that display bright conspicuous coloration (four morphs of R. imitator, two morphs of R. variabilis, two morphs of R. fantastica, one morph of R. summersi) to identify protein-coding genes responsible for color production that are under positive selection. Our results show that there are multiple genes under strong positive selection that are predicted to play roles in melanin synthesis (dct, tyrp1, irf4), iridophore development (fhl1), keratin metabolism (ovol1), pteridine synthesis (prps1, xdh), and carotenoid metabolism (adh1b, aldh2). The identification of positive selection affecting candidate color-pattern genes is consistent with the possibility that these genes mediate (in part) the molecular evolution of coloration. This may be attributed to aposematic phenotypes being directly tied to survival and reproduction in poison frogs.","PeriodicalId":55158,"journal":{"name":"Evolutionary Ecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140583543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The northern pike (Esox lucius) is a freshwater apex predatory fish species that exhibits female-biased SSD, but the degree to which SSD varies among populations and what variables might dictate variation in SSD in this species remain poorly understood. We sought to quantify the degree of variation in SSD among northern pike populations across a large portion of their North American range, as well as evaluate associations between the magnitude of SSD in northern pike populations with environmental variables and life history traits of populations. We quantified SSD in 102 populations of northern pike across the province of Ontario, Canada, using a standardized gillnetting database, and investigated the degree to which both environmental variables (cisco [Coregonus artedi] abundance as catch-per-unit-effort, lake surface area, and latitude) and northern pike life-history traits (early growth and mortality rates) explained variation in female-biased SSD using linear models. Female-biased SSD in mean weight of northern pike increased with increasing cisco abundance, and the difference in female and male mean age increased with increasing latitude. Furthermore, SSD was greater in populations with lower female mortality and early growth rates. These results indicate that slow-growing, long-lived populations of northern pike should exhibit greater female-biased SSD, and that these conditions may be facilitated by the availability of large, energy-dense prey and cooler temperatures at northern latitudes.","PeriodicalId":55158,"journal":{"name":"Evolutionary Ecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140203918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
