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}

In ectotermic tetrapods, male coloration is a pivotal trait in social contexts. During the reproductive season, males can enhance the dichromatic coloration of certain body regions. However, it is unknown how reproductive dichromatism might interact with the increasing temperatures that cause body temperatures to fall within the upper range of preferred temperatures. We hypothesize that sexual dichromatism could be dynamic, i.e. show changes, being reinforced during the reproductive period of the species. However, high temperatures associated with climate change could disrupt reproductive colour patterns by inducing plastic changes. We test this in the social lizard species Tropidurus spinulosus in a laboratory setting by applying three thermal treatments: one reproducing current thermal conditions and two simulating scenarios of climate change. Our results highlight that male coloration is enhanced during the reproductive season in key body regions for social displays. At the preferred temperature of the species, males could darken their ventral coloration; however, no such change was observed at high temperatures. Therefore, increasing temperatures could impact the capacity of males to adjust their coloration plastically during the reproductive season.","PeriodicalId":55373,"journal":{"name":"Biological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"67 E-8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140623147","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}

The fringes end up spreading-out, in other words suffusing, over the comb-like structure of the baleen assemblage. This study examined the relationships between mat morphology and the hydrodynamics it generates. Samples collected from nine rack locations on a bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus) and fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) were investigated with a new technique of mat porosity determination in a flume setting. Porosity was measured in the range of 5–20% and 8–37% in the bowhead and fin whale samples respectively. These were largest ventrally in both species, while remaining somewhat insensitive to the flume’s water speed. A new hydrodynamical model of the through-mat currents was used to estimate speeds of 0.15–3.0 cm/s and mat permeabilities of the order of 10−13 m2, depending on the applied pressure. Finally, and relative to samples collected near the entrance of the mouth, these trends were quantitatively similar in both species. With tongue- and flow-based erosion as the main mechanism for mat creation in all extant mysticetes, our analysis suggests baleen-generated filtration as having emerged early in their evolution.","PeriodicalId":55373,"journal":{"name":"Biological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140623340","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}

The ‘One Plan approach’ introduced by The International Union for Conservation of Nature proposes to consider all populations of a species under a unified management plan. In this work we follow this premise in order to unify in situ and ex situ management of one of the most critically endangered mammals in Argentina, the jaguar (Panthera onca). We assessed pedigrees of captive animals, finding that 44.93% of the reported relatedness was erroneous according to molecular data. Captive individuals formed a distinct genetic cluster. The three remaining locations for jaguars in Argentina constitute two genetic groups, the Atlantic Forest and the Chaco–Yungas clusters. Genetic variability is low compared with other populations of the species in the Americas and it is not significantly different between wild and captive populations in Argentina. These findings demonstrate that genetic studies aiming to include captive individuals into conservation management are very valuable, and should incorporate several parameters such as mean individual relatedness, individual inbreeding, rare and private alleles, and mitochondrial haplotypes. Finally, we discuss two ongoing ex situ management actions and postulate the need for genetic monitoring of the breeding and release of animals.","PeriodicalId":55373,"journal":{"name":"Biological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"124 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140564040","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}
