  • Polyploidy and Sex Chromosome Evolution in Amphibians
    Chapter 18 Polyploidization and Sex Chromosome Evolution in Amphibians Ben J. Evans, R. Alexander Pyron and John J. Wiens Abstract Genome duplication, including polyploid speciation and spontaneous polyploidy in diploid species, occurs more frequently in amphibians than mammals. One possible explanation is that some amphibians, unlike almost all mammals, have young sex chromosomes that carry a similar suite of genes (apart from the genetic trigger for sex determination). These species potentially can experience genome duplication without disrupting dosage stoichiometry between interacting proteins encoded by genes on the sex chromosomes and autosomalPROOF chromosomes. To explore this possibility, we performed a permutation aimed at testing whether amphibian species that experienced polyploid speciation or spontaneous polyploidy have younger sex chromosomes than other amphibians. While the most conservative permutation was not significant, the frog genera Xenopus and Leiopelma provide anecdotal support for a negative correlation between the age of sex chromosomes and a species’ propensity to undergo genome duplication. This study also points to more frequent turnover of sex chromosomes than previously proposed, and suggests a lack of statistical support for male versus female heterogamy in the most recent common ancestors of frogs, salamanders, and amphibians in general. Future advances in genomics undoubtedly will further illuminate the relationship between amphibian sex chromosome degeneration and genome duplication. B. J.

  • Species Assessment for Atlantic Coast Leopard Frog
    Species Status Assessment Class: Amphibia Family: Ranidae Scientific Name: Lithobates [Rana] kauffeldi Common Name: Atlantic Coast leopard frog Species synopsis: More than a century of taxonomic confusion regarding the leopard frogs of the East Coast was resolved in 2012 with the publication of a genetic analysis (Newman et al. 2012) confirming that a third, cryptic species of leopard frog (Rana [= Lithobates] sp. nov.) occurs in southern New York, northern New Jersey, and western Connecticut. The molecular evidence strongly supported the distinction of this new species from the previously known northern (R. pipiens [= L. pipiens]) and southern (R. sphenocephala [=L. sphenocephalus]) leopard frogs. Rana kauffeldi is morphologically similar to R. sphenocephala and R. pipiens, but distinguishable by advertisement call, genetics, habitat, geographic distribution, and a combination of morphological characters (Feinberg et al. 2014). Bioacoustic evidence of the frog’s occurrence in southern New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and as far south as the Virginia/North Carolina border is available, thereby raising uncertainty about which species of leopard frog occur(s) presently and historically throughout the region. Some evidence suggests that Long Island might at one time have had two species: the southern leopard frog in the pine barrens and the Atlantic Coast leopard frog in coastal wetlands and the Hudson Valley. For simplicity’s sake, in this assessment we retain the name “Atlantic Coast leopard frog” even though much of the information available may also refer to the southern leopard frog or a combination of species (Feinberg et al. 2014). 1 I.

These Amphibia choices can strongly affect the resulting topologies. Here, we explore two controversial approaches (binning Anura genes into “supergenes” and inclusion of only rapidly evolving sites), using new data from hyloid frogs. Hyloid Biogeography frogs encompass ∼53% of frog species, including true toads (Bufonidae), glassfrogs (Centrolenidae), poison Naive binning frogs (Dendrobatidae), and treefrogs (Hylidae). Many hyloid families are well-established, but relationships Phylogenomics among these families have remained difficult to resolve. We generated a dataset of ultraconserved elements Statistical binning (UCEs) for 50 ingroup species, including 18 of 19 hyloid families and up to 2214 loci spanning > 800,000 aligned base pairs.
