The evolution of primates is usually approached from the standpoint of adaptation and interspecific competition. However, climatic and eustatic changes associated with periodic glaciations have had a profound influence on their geographical distribution, favouring the intervention of contingency in evolution. This paper deals with the role of chance and competition in the dispersal and stocking of macaques in the islands of south-east Asia. The genus Macaca is unique among non-human primates for the range of habitats colonized, from continents to islands. We first review current knowledge about the zoogeography of macaques in Sundaland. We point out the inconsistencies present in the hypotheses thus far proposed to account for the colonization of shallow- and deep-water islands. We then propose a new perspective of macaque dispersal through the Indonesian archipelago, which takes into account sea-level changes, as well as latitudinal and altitudinal rainforest shifts following climatic cycles during the Quaternary. We envision three steps: (i) dispersal and partial disappearance of the first radiation of macaques; (ii) primary mainland recolonization by pigtailed and longtailed macaques; and (iii) secondary sea-rafting colonization by longtailed macaques. This model implies that liontailed, Sulawesi and Mentawai macaques stemmed from pre-glacial remnant populations, whereas pigtailed macaques originated in post-glacial populations that diverged later on. The model accounts for the distribution of longtailed macaques throughout the Indonesian archipelago. The riverine habits of this species would have favoured its dispersal by sea rafting, which was otherwise extremely rare for other primate species. Stocking would have been successful for longtailed macaques only in islands where no other macaque competitors were already present. © 2002 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2002, 75 , 555–576. 相似文献

Acoustic features are important for individual and species recognition. However, while dialectal variations in song characteristics have been described in many songbirds, geographical divergence in vocal features across populations has seldom been studied in birds that are not thought to have song-learning abilities. Here, we document marked differences in the vocal structure of calls of two populations of black-legged kittiwakes ( Rissa tridactyla ), a seabird whose call is considered as not being learned from other individuals. We found that calls vary both within and between populations. Within-population variation may convey individual identity, whereas the marked differences in frequency and temporal parameters observed between the two populations may reveal ongoing divergence among kittiwake populations. Moreover, we were unable to detect any sex signature in adult calls in a Pacific population (Middleton, Alaska), while these were detected in an Atlantic population (Hornøya, Norway), potentially affecting sexual behaviours. Despite the fact that these calls seemed to change over the reproductive season and across years, the individual signature remained fairly stable. Such vocal differences suggest that Pacific and Atlantic populations may be undergoing behavioural divergences that may reveal early stages of speciation, as is suggested by molecular data. © 2009 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2009, 97 , 289–297. 相似文献

Cold exposure (2°C for 7 days) in constant darkness at mummy stage induces diapause expression in 9% of the Praon volucre Haliday population. Diapausing parasitoids show a significant delay in emergence time compared with nondiapausing counterparts. A diapause‐mediated polyphenism is observed in mummy colour, with diapausing mummies being clearly darker than nondiapausing ones. The diapause status of dark mummies is confirmed by a significant reduction in metabolic rate. Diapausing parasitoids also display specific morphological characteristics: they are heavier (fresh and dry mass) and accumulate larger fat reserves than nondiapausing counterparts. The diapause status is associated with a fitness cost in terms of adult longevity. There is no evidence of diapause‐related change in supercooling ability. 相似文献

In primates, females typically drive the evolution of the social system and present a wide diversity of social structures. To understand this diversity, it is necessary to document the consistency and/or flexibility of female social structures across and within species, contexts, and environments. Macaques (Macaca sp.) are an ideal taxon for such comparative study, showing both consistency and variation in their social relations. Their social styles, constituting robust sets of social traits, can be classified in four grades, from despotic to tolerant. However, tolerant species are still understudied, especially in the wild. To foster our understanding of tolerant societies and to assess the validity of the concept of social style, we studied female crested macaques, Macaca nigra, under entirely natural conditions. We assessed their degree of social tolerance by analyzing the frequency, intensity, and distribution of agonistic and affiliative behaviors, their dominance gradient, their bared‐teeth display, and their level of conciliatory tendency. We also analyzed previously undocumented behavioral patterns in grade 4 macaques: reaction upon approach and distribution of affiliative behavior across partners. We compared the observed patterns to data from other populations of grade 4 macaques and from species of other grades. Overall, female crested macaques expressed a tolerant social style, with low intensity, frequently bidirectional, and reconciled conflicts. Dominance asymmetry was moderate, associated with an affiliative bared‐teeth display. Females greatly tolerated one another in close proximity. The observed patterns matched the profile of other tolerant macaques and were outside the range of patterns of more despotic species. This study is the first comprehensive analysis of females’ social behavior in a tolerant macaque species under natural conditions and as such, contributes to a better understanding of macaque societies. It also highlights the relevance of the social style concept in the assessment of the degree of tolerance/despotism in social systems. Am. J.

Abstract: We quantified the repeatability of >900 individual measures of hind foot length from 2 French populations of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) monitored by capture-recapture. We found a high repeatability (i.e., high intra-class correlation, 0.76, 95% CI = 0.72–0.83 and 0.92, 95% CI = 0.91–0.95) in both populations. We also found that inexperienced observers reached a high level of intra- (1.00, 95% CI = 0.96–1.00) and inter-observer repeatability (0.99, 95% CI = 0.98–1.00) when measuring hind foot length of harvested animals with a tool specifically designed for this task. Managers should pay particular attention to limit measurement errors because unreliable measurements require an increased sample size to assess individual variation and can mask biological patterns. 相似文献

Previous work suggests that low-spired hermaphroditic snails mate face-to-face and have reciprocal sperm exchange, whereas high-spired snails mate by shell mounting and have unilateral sperm exchange. This dichotomy lead others to speculate on the evolution of enigmatic mating behaviours and whole-body enantiomorphy. In the present study, we review the current literature on mating behaviour in pulmonate snails and show that: (1) several pulmonate species show considerable intraspecific variation in mating behaviour; (2) mating position does not predict reciprocity of penis intromission and sperm exchange; (3) dart-shooting may be correlated with reciprocity of sperm exchange but other factors must explain the gain or loss of darts; (4) it is unlikely that the degree of reciprocity is the most important factor in explaining the relationship of whole-body enantiomorphy and shell shape; and (5) the reciprocal intromission of penises does not necessarily involve the reciprocal transfer of sperm. Hence, our survey shows that current ideas on the evolutionary relationship between shell shape and reciprocity with sexual selection (including dart-use) and whole-body enantiomorphy in hermaphroditic snails should be refined. The results obtained demonstrate that our current knowledge on gastropod mating behaviour is too limited to detect general evolutionary trajectories in gastropod mating behaviour and genital anatomy. © 2009 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2009, 96 , 306–321. 相似文献

A SEM study of the structure associated with the outlet of the epiphallus in the atrium genitale of three arionid species ( Arion hortensis s.s., A. distinctus and A. owenii ) is presented. The structures are described and compared, and the specific differences are outlined. Preliminary notes on the same structure in A. intermedius , as well as on the spermatophores of A. hortensis s.s. and A. distinctus , are also provided. It is concluded that A. owenii stands somewhat apart in relation to the latter two species, since it may be more related to A. intermedius. Although it is generally accepted that the genus Arion is characterized by the absence of a penis, it is suggested here that the described structure at the outlet of the epiphallus is nothing but a remnant of an ancestral penis; anyhow, it is at least functionally allied to a penis. 相似文献

Body pigmentation is a popular taxonomic marker in slugs to
discriminateclosely related species. However, the genetic background
ofbody pigmentation is known only for a few species, while inmany
others body pigmentation is influenced by age, food and/orclimate. In
this study, we investigated the effects of differentfood items on
body pigmentation expression in two selfing pulmonategastropods,
Arion (Carinarion) silvaticus and Arion (Carinarion)
fasciatus.Both species mainly differ in the distribution of
yellow-orangegranules on the body, which in A. fasciatus are
concentratedin lateral bands, and in A. silvaticus are evenly
scattered.Animals were raised individually under the same conditions,
whilethey laid eggs as a consequence of selfing. This F1 generation
wasafterwards divided into two groups, which were fed with different
fooditems. A diet of carrot, lettuce or paper had no effect on the
distributionof the yellow-orange granules in A. silvaticus, but
provokeda loss of the yellow-orange lateral bands in A. fasciatusso that externally these F1
specimens became similar to A. silvaticus.In both species, a
diet of nettle resulted in a strong yellow-orangepigmentation, which
often formed yellow-orange lateral bands.These results indicate that
food can probably influence the'species-specific' body pigmentation in
Carinarion, and thusquestion the reliability of colour traits to
distinguish A.silvaticus and A. fasciatus. (Received 5 May 2000; accepted 29 September 2000) 相似文献

The capacity of Lettuce mosaic virus to overcome the lettuce resistance conferred by the mo11 and mo12 alleles of the gene for eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) was analysed using reverse genetics. Mutations in the virus genome-linked protein (VPg) allowed mo11 only to be overcome, but mutations in the C-terminal portion of the cylindrical inclusion (CI) protein allowed both alleles to be overcome. Site-directed mutagenesis pinpointed a key role of the amino acid at position 621 in the virulence. This is the first example of the involvement of a potyviral CI protein in the breaking of an eIF4E-mediated resistance. 相似文献
