  • Morphological Evolution and Modularity of the Caecilian Skull Carla Bardua1,2* , Mark Wilkinson1, David J
    Bardua et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2019) 19:30 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-018-1342-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Morphological evolution and modularity of the caecilian skull Carla Bardua1,2* , Mark Wilkinson1, David J. Gower1, Emma Sherratt3 and Anjali Goswami1,2 Abstract Background: Caecilians (Gymnophiona) are the least speciose extant lissamphibian order, yet living forms capture approximately 250 million years of evolution since their earliest divergences. This long history is reflected in the broad range of skull morphologies exhibited by this largely fossorial, but developmentally diverse, clade. However, this diversity of form makes quantification of caecilian cranial morphology challenging, with highly variable presence or absence of many structures. Consequently, few studies have examined morphological evolution across caecilians. This extensive variation also raises the question of degree of conservation of cranial modules (semi-autonomous subsets of highly-integrated traits) within this clade, allowing us to assess the importance of modular organisation in shaping morphological evolution. We used an intensive surface geometric morphometric approach to quantify cranial morphological variation across all 32 extant caecilian genera. We defined 16 cranial regions using 53 landmarks and 687 curve and 729 surface sliding semilandmarks. With these unprecedented high-dimensional data, we analysed cranial shape and modularity across caecilians assessing phylogenetic, allometric and ecological influences on cranial evolution, as well as investigating the relationships among integration, evolutionary rate, and morphological disparity. Results: We found highest support for a ten-module model, with greater integration of the posterior skull. Phylogenetic signal was significant (Kmult =0.87,p < 0.01), but stronger in anterior modules, while allometric influences were also significant (R2 =0.16,p < 0.01), but stronger posteriorly.

  • Quantitative Surveying of Endogeic Limbless Vertebrates— a Case Study of Gegeneophis Ramaswamii (Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Caeciliidae) in Southern India G.J
    Applied Soil Ecology 23 (2003) 43–53 Quantitative surveying of endogeic limbless vertebrates— a case study of Gegeneophis ramaswamii (Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Caeciliidae) in southern India G.J. Measey a,∗, D.J. Gower a, O.V. Oommen b, M. Wilkinson a a Department of Zoology, The Natural History Museum, London SW7 5BD, UK b Department of Zoology, University of Kerala, Kariavattom, Thiruvananthapuram, India Received 10 September 2002; received in revised form 16 December 2002; accepted 17 December 2002 Abstract Many subterranean, limbless reptiles and amphibians are predators of invertebrate soil ecosystem engineers. The potential importance of these predators in soil ecology partly rests on whether they occur in high densities, but their abundance has rarely been measured, and there are no standard methods. The mostly tropical and fossorial caecilians (Amphibia: Gymnophiona) are often considered rare, but there are very few quantitative data, and some species, including Gegeneophis ramaswamii,have been reported as abundant in some situations. Using simple and repeatable survey methods with randomised 1 m2 quadrats, surveys of G. ramaswamii were conducted at five localities in southern India. Densities of 0–1.87 m−2 per survey were measured, with means of 0.51 and 0.63 m−2 at the beginning and middle of monsoon, respectively. These densities were far greater than for sympatric caecilians (ichthyophiids; uraeotyphlids) and fossorial snakes (typhlopids; colubrids). While ecological data remain very scant, establishing quantitative methods to assess the abundance of endogeic limbless vertebrates is an important step toward greater understanding of subterranean predator–prey relations, and of monitoring populations of these poorly known organisms.

  • The Integumentary Skeleton of Tetrapods: Origin, Evolution, and Development Matthew K
    J. Anat. (2009) 214, pp441–464 doi: 10.1111/j.1469-7580.2008.01043.x REVIEWBlackwell Publishing Ltd The integumentary skeleton of tetrapods: origin, evolution, and development Matthew K. Vickaryous1 and Jean-Yves Sire2 1Department of Biomedical Sciences, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, Canada 2Université Pierre et Marie Curie-Paris 6, UMR 7138-Systématique, Adaptation, Evolution, Paris, France Abstract Although often overlooked, the integument of many tetrapods is reinforced by a morphologically and structurally diverse assemblage of skeletal elements. These elements are widely understood to be derivatives of the once all-encompassing dermal skeleton of stem-gnathostomes but most details of their evolution and development remain confused and uncertain. Herein we re-evaluate the tetrapod integumentary skeleton by integrating comparative developmental and tissue structure data. Three types of tetrapod integumentary elements are recognized: (1) osteoderms, common to representatives of most major taxonomic lineages; (2) dermal scales, unique to gymnophionans; and (3) the lamina calcarea, an enigmatic tissue found only in some anurans. As presently understood, all are derivatives of the ancestral cosmoid scale and all originate from scleroblastic neural crest cells. Osteoderms are plesiomorphic for tetrapods but demonstrate considerable lineage-specific variability in size, shape, and tissue structure and composition. While metaplastic ossification often plays a role in osteoderm development, it is not the exclusive mode of skeletogenesis. All osteoderms share a common origin within the dermis (at or adjacent to the stratum superficiale) and are composed primarily (but not exclusively) of osseous tissue. These data support the notion that all osteoderms are derivatives of a neural crest-derived osteogenic cell population (with possible matrix contributions from the overlying epidermis) and share a deep homology associated with the skeletogenic competence of the dermis.

  • Zootaxa, at the Lower Size Limit in Snakes
    Zootaxa 1841: 1–30 (2008) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2008 · Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) At the lower size limit in snakes: two new species of threadsnakes (Squamata: Leptotyphlopidae: Leptotyphlops) from the Lesser Antilles S. BLAIR HEDGES Department of Biology, Pennsylvania State University, 208 Mueller Laboratory, University Park, PA 16802-5301 USA. E-mail:[email protected] Abstract Islands are viewed as natural evolutionary laboratories for terrestrial organisms because they have boundaries that limit dispersal and often reveal evolutionary patterns and mechanisms. One such pattern is that the smallest and largest species of different types of tetrapod animals are frequently found on islands. Here I describe two new diminutive species of snakes of the genus Leptotyphlops from the Lesser Antilles: one from Saint Lucia and the other from Barbados. The one from Barbados is the smallest species of snake and has a total adult length of approximately 100 mm. Limited evidence indicates a clutch size of one and a greatly elongated egg shape (length /width). Comparison of egg shapes in snakes indi- cates that the shape is a packaging phenomenon, related primarily to the shape of the available body cavity and clutch size. For a clutch size of one, expected egg shape is eight whereas expected egg shape drops to two at a clutch size of ten. The body shape of snakes, defined as snout-to-vent length divided by width, also varies and influences the shape of snake eggs. The smallest snakes are typically stout-bodied with shapes of 30–35 whereas the longest snakes usually are more elongate, with shapes of 45–50.
