  • Elevational Gradients Do Not Affect Thermal Tolerance at Local Scale in Populations of Livebearing Fishes of the Genus Limia (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliinae)

[email protected]. ABSTRACT One of the main assumptions of Janzen’s mountain passes hypothesis is that due the low overlap in temperature regimes between low and high elevations in the tropics, organisms living in high-altitude evolve narrow tolerance for colder temperatures while low-altitude species develop narrow tolerance for warmer temperatures. Some studies have questioned the generality of the assumptions and predictions of this hypothesis suggesting that other factors different to temperature gradients between low and high elevations may explain altitudinal distribution of species in the tropics. In this study we test some predictions of the Janzen’s hypothesis at local scales through the analysis of the individual thermal niche breadth in populations of livebearing fishes of the genus Limia and its relationship with their altitudinal distribution in some islands of the Greater Antilles. We assessed variation in tolerance to extreme temperatures (measured as critical thermal minimum (CTmin) and maximum (CTmax) and compared thermal breadth for populations of eight species of Limia occurring in three Caribbean islands and that occupy different altitudinal distribution.

  • The Evolution of the Placenta Drives a Shift in Sexual Selection in Livebearing Fish
    LETTER doi:10.1038/nature13451 The evolution of the placenta drives a shift in sexual selection in livebearing fish B. J. A. Pollux1,2, R. W. Meredith1,3, M. S. Springer1, T. Garland1 & D. N. Reznick1 The evolution of the placenta from a non-placental ancestor causes a species produce large, ‘costly’ (that is, fully provisioned) eggs5,6, gaining shift of maternal investment from pre- to post-fertilization, creating most reproductive benefits by carefully selecting suitable mates based a venue for parent–offspring conflicts during pregnancy1–4.

These females, however, run the risk of mat- predicts that the rise of these conflicts should drive a shift from a ing with genetically inferior (for example, closely related or dishonestly reliance on pre-copulatory female mate choice to polyandry in conjunc- signalling) males, because genetically incompatible males are generally tion with post-zygotic mechanisms of sexual selection2.

  • Tan Choo Hock Thesis Submitted in Fulfi
    TOXINOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATIONS OF THE VENOM OF HUMP-NOSED PIT VIPER (HYPNALE HYPNALE) TAN CHOO HOCK THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY FACULTY OF MEDICINE UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR 2013 Abstract Hump-nosed pit viper (Hypnale hypnale) is a medically important snake in Sri Lanka and Western Ghats of India. Envenomation by this snake still lacks effective antivenom clinically. The species is also often misidentified, resulting in inappropriate treatment. The median lethal dose (LD50) of H. hypnale venom varies from 0.9 µg/g intravenously to 13.7 µg/g intramuscularly in mice. The venom shows procoagulant, hemorrhagic, necrotic, and various enzymatic activities including those of proteases, phospholipases A2 and L-amino acid oxidases which have been partially purified. The monovalent Malayan pit viper antivenom and Hemato polyvalent antivenom (HPA) from Thailand effectively cross-neutralized the venom’s lethality in vitro (median effective dose, ED50 = 0.89 and 1.52 mg venom/mL antivenom, respectively) and in vivo in mice, besides the procoagulant, hemorrhagic and necrotic effects. HPA also prevented acute kidney injury in mice following experimental envenomation. Therefore, HPA may be beneficial in the treatment of H. hypnale envenomation. H. hypnale-specific antiserum and IgG, produced from immunization in rabbits, effectively neutralized the venom’s lethality and various toxicities, indicating the feasibility to produce an effective specific antivenom with a common immunization regime. On indirect ELISA, the IgG cross-reacted extensively with Asiatic crotalid venoms, particularly that of Calloselasma rhodostoma (73.6%), suggesting that the two phylogenically related snakes share similar venoms antigenic properties.

  • Epictia-1.Pdf
    The Leptotyphlopidae, descriptively called threadsnakes or wormsnakes, is one of five families comprising the most ancient but highly specialized clade of snakes, the Scolecophidia, which dates back to the Jurassic Period (ca. 155 mya). Scolecophidians are the least studied and poorest known group of snakes, both biologically and taxonomically. Due to their subterranean habitat, nocturnal lifestyle, small size, and drab coloration, these snake are extremely difficult to find and seldom are observed or collected. Epictia is one of six genera found in the New World, with a distribution extending throughout Latin America. Whereas most Epictia are uniform brown or black, some species are brightly colored. Epictia tenella, the most wide-ranging member of the genus, occurs throughout much of northern South America. Pictured here is an individual from Trinidad that exhibits several distinctive features, including yellow zigzag stripes, relatively large bulging eyes, contact of the supraocular and anterior supralabial shields, and the presence of numerous sensory pits on the anterior head shields.

Bio-digested food waste had typically been treated with conventional aerated processes, but the capacity of ecological treatment systems to reuse food waste has never been studied. Experiments were conducted at three different inflow rates, with hydraulic retention time of 114.5d, 28.6d and 14.3d. Samples of influents and effluents from each treatment unit were tested for NH4-N, NO3-N, carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demands (CBOD5), and orthophosphate.

The new species differs from all other species in the genus Limia by the presence of a well-developed lower jaw, the absence of preorbital and preopercular pores, and preorbital and preopercular canals forming an open groove each. The description of this new Limia species from Lake Miragoane confirms this lake as an important center of endemism for the genus with a total of nine described species so far.

Louys (ed), Paleontology in Ecology and Conservation. Springer-Verlag, Berlin and Heidelberg (doi: 10.1007/978-3-642-25038-5_7) ONLINE SUPPLEMENTAL DATA Appendix Table 1. Species identifications for specimens used in the mean length to width ratio analysis. Trait is the mean length divided by width for all vertebrae within a specimen. Substrate use is a function of locomotion and describes the typical locomotor behavior of the species and includes categories aquatic (n=3), semiaquatic (n=2), arboreal (n=4), semiarboreal (n=1), fossorial (n=4), semifossorial (n=1) and terrestrial (n=14).
