  • The Skull of the Upper Cretaceous Snake Dinilysia Patagonica Smith-Woodward, 1901, and Its Phylogenetic Position Revisited
    Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2012, 164, 194–238.

Angel Gallardo 470 (1405), Buenos Aires, Argentina Received 23 April 2010; revised 5 April 2011; accepted for publication 18 April 2011 The cranial anatomy of Dinilysia patagonica, a terrestrial snake from the Upper Cretaceous of Argentina, is redescribed and illustrated, based on high-resolution X-ray computed tomography and better preparations made on previously known specimens, including the holotype. Previously unreported characters reinforce the intriguing mosaic nature of the skull of Dinilysia, with a suite of plesiomorphic and apomorphic characters with respect to extant snakes. Newly recognized plesiomorphies are the absence of the medial vertical flange of the nasal, lateral position of the prefrontal, lizard-like contact between vomer and palatine, floor of the recessus scalae tympani formed by the basioccipital, posterolateral corners of the basisphenoid strongly ventrolaterally projected, and absence of a medial parietal pillar separating the telencephalon and mesencephalon, amongst others. We also reinterpreted the structures forming the otic region of Dinilysia, confirming the presence of a crista circumfenes- tralis, which represents an important derived ophidian synapomorphy. Both plesiomorphic and apomorphic traits of Dinilysia are treated in detail and illustrated accordingly. Results of a phylogenetic analysis support a basal position of Dinilysia, as the sister-taxon to all extant snakes.

  • Chromosomal Evolution in Raphicerus Antelope Suggests Divergent X
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Chromosomal evolution in Raphicerus antelope suggests divergent X chromosomes may drive speciation through females, rather than males, contrary to Haldane’s rule Terence J. Robinson1*, Halina Cernohorska2, Svatava Kubickova2, Miluse Vozdova2, Petra Musilova2 & Aurora Ruiz‑Herrera3,4 Chromosome structural change has long been considered important in the evolution of post‑zygotic reproductive isolation. The premise that karyotypic variation can serve as a possible barrier to gene fow is founded on the expectation that heterozygotes for structurally distinct chromosomal forms would be partially sterile (negatively heterotic) or show reduced recombination. We report the outcome of a detailed comparative molecular cytogenetic study of three antelope species, genus Raphicerus, that have undergone a rapid radiation. The species are largely conserved with respect to their euchromatic regions but the X chromosomes, in marked contrast, show distinct patterns of heterochromatic amplifcation and localization of repeats that have occurred independently in each lineage. We argue a novel hypothesis that postulates that the expansion of heterochromatic blocks in the homogametic sex can, with certain conditions, contribute to post‑ zygotic isolation. i.e., female hybrid incompatibility, the converse of Haldane’s rule. This is based on the expectation that hybrids incur a selective disadvantage due to impaired meiosis resulting from the meiotic checkpoint network’s surveillance of the asymmetric expansions of heterochromatic blocks in the homogametic sex. Asynapsis of these heterochromatic regions would result in meiotic silencing of unsynapsed chromatin and, if this persists, germline apoptosis and female infertility. Te chromosomal speciation theory 1,2 also referred to as the “Hybrid dysfunction model”3, has been one of the most intriguing questions in biology for decades.

  • Larvae of the Moorish Idol, Zanclus Cornutus, Including a Comparison with Other Larval Acanthuroids
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE. 40(3): 494-511. 1987 CORAL REEF PAPER LARVAE OF THE MOORISH IDOL, ZANCLUS CORNUTUS, INCLUDING A COMPARISON WITH OTHER LARVAL ACANTHUROIDS G. David Johnson and Betsy B. Washington ABSTRACT The larvae of Zane/us carnutus are described and illustrated based on one postflexion and several preflexion specimens. In addition to general morphology and pigmentation, bony ornamentation ofthe head bones and other osteological features are described in detail. Head bones and the associated ornamentation are illustrated for larval Zane/us, Siganus. Luvarus and Nasa. These and other aspects of the morphology of larval acanthuroids are compared and discussed within the context of a phylogenetic hypothesis proposed in other current work. Larval characters corroborate the monophyly of the Acanthuroidei and the phyletic sequence, Siganidae, Luvaridae, Zanc1idae, Acanthuridae. The Acanthuridae is represented by three distinct larval forms. The moorish idol, Zane/us cornutus (Linnaeus), Family Zanclidae, occurs in tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific and eastern Pacific. Like the closely related Acanthuridae, adult Zane/us are reef-associated fishes, but the young are spe- cialized for a relatively prolonged pelagic existence. The specialized pelagic pre- juvenile is termed the "acronurus" stage, and, at least in acanthurids, may reach a length of 60 mm or more before settling (Leis and Rennis, 1983). Strasburg (1962) briefly described 13.4 and 16.0-mm SL specimens ofthe monotypic Zan- e/us and illustrated the larger specimens. Eggs, preflexion larvae and small post- flexion larvae of Zane/us have not been described (Leis and Richards, 1984). The primary purposes of this paper are to describe a 9.S-mm SL postflexion larva of Zane/us and to compare its morphology to that of postflexion larvae of other acanthuroids in a phylogenetic context.

  • THE ORIGIN and EVOLUTION of SNAKE EYES Dissertation
    CONQUERING THE COLD SHUDDER: THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF SNAKE EYES Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment for the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christopher L. Caprette, B.S., M.S. **** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Thomas E. Hetherington, Advisor Approved by Jerry F. Downhower David L. Stetson Advisor The graduate program in Evolution, John W. Wenzel Ecology, and Organismal Biology ABSTRACT I investigated the ecological origin and diversity of snakes by examining one complex structure, the eye. First, using light and transmission electron microscopy, I contrasted the anatomy of the eyes of diurnal northern pine snakes and nocturnal brown treesnakes. While brown treesnakes have eyes of similar size for their snout-vent length as northern pine snakes, their lenses are an average of 27% larger (Mann-Whitney U test, p = 0.042). Based upon the differences in the size and position of the lens relative to the retina in these two species, I estimate that the image projected will be smaller and brighter for brown treesnakes. Northern pine snakes have a simplex, all-cone retina, in keeping with a primarily diurnal animal, while brown treesnake retinas have mostly rods with a few, scattered cones. I found microdroplets in the cone ellipsoids of northern pine snakes. In pine snakes, these droplets act as light guides. I also found microdroplets in brown treesnake rods, although these were less densely distributed and their function is unknown. Based upon the density of photoreceptors and neural layers in their retinas, and the predicted image size, brown treesnakes probably have the same visual acuity under nocturnal conditions that northern pine snakes experience under diurnal conditions.

Several alternative hypotheses suggest how and when species with disjunct Revised 22 December 2014 distributions crossed uninhabitable areas, including: ancient vicariant events, competitive exclusion from Accepted 23 December 2014 the tropics, and more recent dispersal during Pliocene and Pleistocene glacial periods. Surgeonfishes in Available online 14 January 2015 the genus Prionurus can provide novel insight into this pattern as its member species have disjunct distributions inhabiting either temperate latitudes, cold-water upwellings in the tropics, or low diversity Keywords: tropical reef ecosystems. Here the evolutionary history and historical biogeography of Prionurus is Anti-tropical examined using a dataset containing both mitochondrial and nuclear data for all seven extant species. Anti-equatorial Ancestral range Our results indicate that Prionurus is monophyletic and Miocene in origin. Several relationships remain Biogeography problematic, including the placement of the Australian P.
