However, previous studies on multimodal courtship displays have focused mainly on individual signals, thus failing to provide a full explanation of why these displays evolved despite the added costs involved. Therefore, it is essential to identify the purpose of each display component and link them to prevailing hypotheses on multimodal display function. Here, we study the multimodal courtship display of males of the parasitoid wasp Leptopilina heterotoma, which consists of wing fanning and a putative antennal pheromone, by determining the information conveyed about male quality through these two modalities. We found that a high wing-fanning frequency and a large body size led to a higher mating success, whereas we found no correlation of the pheromone composition with mating success. We conclude that the wing-fanning component conveys mate-assessment information, whereas the chemical display component, found to be species specific in a previous study, functions as a species-recognition mechanism but does not reflect the quality of a male. Altogether, our study suggests that the multimodal courtship display of L. heterotoma fits the multiple message hypothesis and might thus be a useful model for further studies.","PeriodicalId":55373,"journal":{"name":"Biological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141938381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traits associated with movement, such as movement ability and migratory behaviour, are sometimes correlated with population genetic structure, but this relationship depends on where and when mating occurs relative to annual movements. With their wide diversity in behaviours and life-history strategies, bats provide a testing ground for hypotheses about population structure related to migration and mating. We used a global sample of microsatellite data (N = 233 sampling locations from 17 bat species) associated with published studies to examine links between genetic variation and short-distance, long-distance, or non-migratory strategies that also relate to varied mating strategies. The genetic measures we tested were population-specific differentiation, gene diversity, and allelic richness. Using Bayesian models that accounted for phylogenetic distances among species and spatial autocorrelation, we identified no correlations between migration strategy and genetic variation. Our results suggest that hypotheses about genetic structure being mediated by migration might not hold, in general, for bat species. We discuss the need for continued research into the complex association of ecological, biogeographical, and behavioural factors that facilitate gene flow among populations, especially in species with diverse movement patterns.","PeriodicalId":55373,"journal":{"name":"Biological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141786126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assessing patterns of genetic variation within co-distributed species sampled across varied landscapes can therefore illuminate their capacity to persist over time. We sequenced new genome-wide sequence data (double-digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing) for four frog species (Anaxyrus terrestris, Hyla cinerea, Hyla squirella, and Rana sphenocephala) sampled from two barrier islands and the adjacent mainland of northern Florida. We calculated genomic diversity metrics and analysed spatial patterns of genomic variation for each species. We found higher genomic diversity within mainland individuals compared to island individuals for all species, suggesting a consistent effect of small island area on diversity across species. Three species (all but A. terrestris) showed significant signatures of isolation by distance, and some clustering analyses indicated separation of island and mainland individuals within species. We identified subtle differences in the strength of these patterns among species, with the strongest genetic differentiation observed in R. sphenocephala. Finally, we found evidence of recent migration between island and mainland populations for all species, which likely explains the limited genetic structure observed and contributes to the persistence of these small populations.","PeriodicalId":55373,"journal":{"name":"Biological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141745964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, we assessed the association of these phenotypes with their phylogenetic history. Certain traits exhibited evidence of parallel evolution for the cave ecotype across lineages, such as increased maxillary tooth count, reduced lateral line scale count, and shorter ascending process of the premaxillary bone. Geometric morphometric data showed a phenotypic divergence gradient in head shape between cave and surface populations, with the strongest divergence between Sierra de El Abra and surface populations and with less differentiation between surface populations and caves from Sierra de Guatemala and Micos. Cave populations that hybridize with surface populations (e.g. Micos) displayed the greatest overlap with the surface ecotype. There was a similar divergence gradient for premaxillary bone shape, but with weaker differentiation between cave and surface ecotypes. This evidence of repeated evolution in several cave traits emphasizes the significance of selective pressures exerted by the environment on the evolution of cave ecotypes.","PeriodicalId":55373,"journal":{"name":"Biological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141608413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In birds, behavioural isolation mechanisms range from simple vocalizations to elaborate courtship displays. The breakdown of these isolation mechanisms could result in the production of viable hybrid offspring. In general, we might expect a negative relationship between the complexity of a behavioural isolation mechanism and the incidence of hybridization. I tested this prediction in manakins, a Neotropical bird family that shows a large variety of courtship displays. I compiled a database of reliable hybrid records and quantified the complexity of species-specific courtship displays. Binary logistic regressions indicated that courtship similarity was a better predictor of hybridization probability than courtship complexity. However, this pattern was strongly influenced by phylogenetic relatedness, in that closely related species exhibited similar courtship displays that were already being performed by their common ancestor. The main limitation of this study concerns the incomplete dataset. I could assess the courtship complexity for only 22 manakin species; consequently, not all hybrid combinations could be included in the analyses. Nonetheless, these findings provide important insights into the role of courtship displays in explaining patterns of hybridization.","PeriodicalId":55373,"journal":{"name":"Biological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141576866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a multimodal context, these sensory modes can transmit different information to the receiver or even reinforce the same message. In this study, we hypothesized that body colour traits and vocal sac movements of male eastern gray treefrogs [Dryophytes versicolor (= Hyla versicolor)] serve as secondary visual cues that increase their attractiveness while calling to attract mates. We tested this hypothesis using playback trials combining synthetic advertisement calls with a variety of visual cues, including differently coloured resin frog models, simulated vocal sacs, and live frogs. None of the visual stimuli tested impacted female choice, and there was no difference in response rate, response time, choice angle, or distance covered in the arena between multimodal and unimodal stimuli. However, females showed a strong preference for longer calls even if the less attractive calls were paired with a visual stimulus. The study provides comprehensive insights into the role of visual stimuli in the mate attraction of eastern gray treefrogs and suggests that call traits play a dominant role in the male-selection process of this species, contrary to what was observed for visual stimuli.","PeriodicalId":55373,"journal":{"name":"Biological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141551119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such mechanisms may be intensified in environments like the Caatinga, a seasonally dry tropical forest in Brazil, characterized by low habitat complexity and high seasonal variation. Thus, we investigated chemical perception between two scorpion species from this environment, involved in intraguild competition. Experiments assessed their response to chemical cues from prey, predators, and potential mates. We use Y-mazes to test the time spent by the scorpions between Y-arms with or without a given substrate-borne chemical cue (site preference) and the number of active individuals during trials (presence of activity). Scorpions’ activity was not influenced by chemical stimuli, although they clearly exhibit site preferences. The smaller predators avoided sites with the larger species’ chemical cues, while the larger predators preferred sites with the smaller species’ cues. Additionally, both species trailed female chemical cues. These findings suggest a dual-oriented arms race where prey and predator modulate their behaviour to avoid and hunt heterospecifics, respectively. This study provides the first evidence of a scorpion using chemical cues to detect a heterospecific scorpion and highlights the importance of this trait in arachnids.","PeriodicalId":55373,"journal":{"name":"Biological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141551126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lesser Antillean anoles exhibit dorsal colour variation associated with dramatic shifts in environment across small spatial scales, providing an excellent system for studying the maintenance of local adaptation despite ongoing gene flow. The 1995 Soufriere Hills eruption on Montserrat provides an opportunity to understand how natural disasters may influence the evolution of insular species. Thus, our study had two main objectives. First, we collected genetic, phenotypic, and environmental data to investigate whether environmentally associated dorsal coloration reflects underlying population structure in three species of Lesser Antillean anoles. Second, we examined the short-term evolutionary consequences of volcanism by comparing pre- and posteruption samples of Anolis lividus using multilocus sequence data. We found all three species exhibited genetic isolation-by-distance but not isolation-by-environment. Furthermore, phenotypic differences within each species were not predicted by genetic distances, suggesting gene flow across colour morphs. We confirmed the repopulation of A. lividus in the impacted area and found genetic diversity equivalent to pre-eruption sampling. Our findings contribute to our understanding of local adaptation in spatially small-scale systems and the impact of catastrophic natural disasters on population structure.","PeriodicalId":55373,"journal":{"name":"Biological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140937476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reflecting high functionality, elevated Δψm usually depicts healthy mitochondria and contributes to organelle selection. This study investigates whether mitochondrial properties linked with bioenergetics, such as Δψm, play a role in paternal inheritance of mitochondria. More specifically, the study looks at how sperm Δψm responds to egg chemoattractants in bivalves characterized by distinct mitochondrial inheritance patterns: strict maternal inheritance (SMI) and doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI), the latter displaying sex-specific transmission of paternal mitochondrial DNA. Sperm Δψm was examined in four bivalve species: the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) and the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) (DUI), plus the hard clam (Mercenaria mercenaria) and the soft-shell clam (Mya arenaria) (SMI). In the absence of egg chemoattractants, sperm Δψm did not vary between the two groups. However, there was a trend of increase in Δψm following egg detection only in sperm bearing paternally derived mitochondria (DUI). This suggests, along with bioenergetic changes, that Δψm modulation might be a specific property of at least some DUI species, possibly implicated in their unique ability to transmit their mitochondria in a sex-specific fashion.","PeriodicalId":55373,"journal":{"name":"Biological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"537 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140937407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
