In this study, we explore the interplay of population demography with the evolution of ecological niches during or after speciation in Hordeum. While large populations maintain a high level of standing genetic diversity, gene flow and recombination buffers against fast alterations in ecological adaptation. Small populations harbour lower allele diversity but can more easily shift to new niches if they initially survive under changed conditions. Thus, large populations should be more conservative regarding niche changes in comparison to small populations. We used environmental niche modelling together with phylogenetic, phylogeographic and population genetic analyses to infer the correlation of population demography with changes in ecological niche dimensions in 12 diploid Hordeum species from the New World, forming four monophyletic groups. Our analyses found both shifts and conservatism in distinct niche dimensions within and among clades. Speciation due to vicariance resulted in three species with no pronounced climate niche differences, while species originating due to long‐distance dispersals or otherwise encountering genetic bottlenecks mostly revealed climate niche shifts. Niche convergence among clades indicates a niche‐filling pattern during the last 2 million years in South American Hordeum. We provide evidence that species, which did not encounter population reductions mainly showed ecoclimatic niche conservatism, while major niche shifts occurred in species which have undergone population bottlenecks. Our data allow the conclusion that population demography influences adaptation and niche shifts or conservatism in South American Hordeum species. 相似文献

Chlamydomonas is one of the most well-studied photosynthetic organisms that had important biotechnological potential for future bioproductions of biofuels. However, an energy balance from incident photons to the energy stored in the new biomass is still lacking. In this study, we applied a recently developed system to measure the energy balance for steady state growth of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii grown at pH 6.5, and C. acidophila that was grown at pH 6.5 and 2.6. Energy use efficiency was quantified on the basis of light absorption, photosynthetic quantum yield, photosynthetic and respiratory quotient, and electron partitioning into proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. The results showed that lower growth rates of C. acidophila under both pH conditions were not caused by the differences in the photosynthetic quantum yield or in alternative electron cycling, but rather by differences in the efficiency of light absorption and increased dark respiration. Analysis of the macromolecular composition of the cells during the light phase showed that C. acidophila uses biosynthetic electrons preferentially for carbohydrate synthesis but not for synthesis of lipids. This led to a strong diurnal cycle of the C/N ratio and could explain the higher dark respiration of C. acidophila compared with C. reinhardtii . 相似文献

The discovery that machaeridians (class Machaeridia Withers, 1926) are annelids allows their mode of locomotion to be interpreted in the context of the body plan of this phylum. The Plumulitidae were errant epibenthic forms, moving with parapodia. The body of Turrilepadidae and Lepidocoleidae, however, was enclosed largely within the mineralized plates that make up the skeleton. Articulated specimens indicate that these machaeridians were able to burrow like other annelids using peristaltic locomotion. A lepidocoleid specimen indicates that multiple waves of shortened and contracted regions moved over the body. This is in contrast to the mode of locomotion in earthworms and most polychaetes, but similar to peristaltic progression in Polyphysia (Scalibregmidae). Either the rugose sculpture (turrilepadids) and/or the margins of the overlapping shell plates functioned as a burrowing sculpture, allowing forward movement but preventing backwards slipping. A trace from the Devonian Hunsrück Slate associated with a lepidocoleid indicates that considerable flexing of the skeleton was possible, but this is an escape trace and does not represent normal locomotion. Features of the skeleton of machaeridians are convergent on those of molluscs where the shells likewise function in protection and burrowing. 相似文献

The most conspicuous and species-rich ant-plant mutualism in the Malesian region is found in the important pioneer tree genus Macaranga , yet little is known about the identities or community ecology of the species involved. Our studies have revealed a far more complex system than previously thought. This paper presents the first extensive investigation in the whole distribution area of myrmecophytic Macaranga. All ant-inhabited species were restricted to the moister parts of SE Asia: Peninsular Malaysia, South and East Thailand, Sumatra and Borneo. We found a rather strict and similar altitudinal zonation of myrmecophytic Macaranga species in all regions. Here we focus on the majority of the 19 Macaranga species obligatorily associated with ants of the genus Crematogaster. We identified a total of 2163 ant queens which belonged to at least eight (morpho)species of the small subgenus Decacrema as well as to one non-Decacrema (probably from Atopogyne ). The ant species were not randomly distributed among the Macaranga species but distinct patterns of associations emerged. Despite common sympatric distribution of Macaranga species, in most cases a surprisingly high specificity of ant colonization was maintained which was, however, often not species-specific but groups of certain plant species with identical ant partners could be found. These colonization patterns usually but not always mirror existing taxonomic sections within the genus Macaranga. Possible mechanisms of specificity are discussed. The results are compared with other ant-plant mutualisms. 相似文献

The shape of the dorsal vesical plate was used to determine the extent of morphological differentiation among populations of the water strider Aquarius remigis (Say) (Hemiptera-Heteroptera: Gerridae), and between species assigned to the A. remigis species group. Populations were sampled throughout North America and Mesoamerica, and included paratypes of A. remigoides Gallant & Fairbairn, and material collected from the type localities of A. amplus (Drake & Harris) and A. nyctalis (Drake & Hottes). If taxonomy is to be inferred from the shape of the dorsal vesical plate, as suggested by previous authors, several taxonomic issues need to be reconsidered. First, there was one species distributed widely across North America and deep into Mexico that is very likely to represent A. remigis , meaning that populations from the western USA previously assigned to ' A. nyctalis ' should be synonymized with this species. Second, A. remigoides as currently defined also includes some populations of A. remigis , and is probably much less widely distributed in the south-eastern USA than previously thought. A hybridization zone in Pennsylvania between A. remigis and A. remigoides , as inferred from measurements of body size and allozyme electrophoresis, is not congruent with data from the male genitalia, which indicated a transition zone between the two forms in Virginia much further to the south. Finally, A. amplus was widespread in Mexico, reaching into Guatemala to the south and into Arizona to the north. © 2007 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2007, 90 , 381–398. 相似文献

The genetic variation within spore banks of Athyrium filix-femina (L.) Roth from three sites in north-eastern Switzerland was investigated. At two sites spore banks were located beneath sporophyte populations. One collection site was 10Om away from a sporophyte population. The gametophytes grown from the soil samples, the dimensions of which were 4 × 4 × 1.5 cm, and sporophytes from each site were analysed electrophoretically for either three or four variable allozyme loci. The spore banks from the different soil samples within and between populations revealed a considerable amount of genetic diversity. The most frequent alleles within the two sporophyte populations were, with a few exceptions, also the most frequent within the spore banks. The influence of single sporophytic individuals on the genetic composition of microsites seems to be considerably reduced by stochastic processes such as soil movement or the action of earthworms, which promote the mixing of spores from different spatial and temporal origins. It was shown that spores remain viable after passing through the gut of earthworms and that spore banks from even small soil samples revealed genetic diversity and could lead to a large number of genetically distinct sporophytes. The results suggest that fertilization seems to be close to random because the sporophyte populations sampled were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and had fixation index ( F is ) close to zero. 相似文献

The nasal capsule and nasal sac of Dibamus taylori are described based on a plate reconstruction of serially sectioned material and are compared with several other squamate taxa. The ethmoidal region of D. taylori is characterized by a short nasal vestibule, a well developed concha, a much reduced and nearly functionless Jacobson's organ, an incomplete nasal roof, and a true nasopharyngeal duct with a complicated secondary palate. Cartilaginous and epithelial structures of the ethmoidal region provide many informative and useful characters for a phylogenetic analysis. Different anatomical features of D. taylori are compared with other burrowing forms ( Acontias meleagris, Annietta, pulchra Voetzkowia mira, Feylinia curron ) and discussed functionally and phylogenetically. Phylogenetic analysis of all higher squamate taxa using 144 available data derived from many regions of the body indicates relative relationships as (((Dibamidae, Amphisbaenia) Serpentes) Scleroglossa). 相似文献

It has been hypothesized that the subalpine Erinus alpinus survived the Pleistocene glaciation in southern French refugia peripheral to the Alps and postglacially immigrated to its northern Alpine distribution (tabula rasa hypothesis). However, E. alpinus is also known from nunataks in the northern Prealps. PCR–RFLP of the cpDNA revealed no variation, whereas AFLPs identified three phylogeographical groups among the 22 populations: (1) a central Swiss group, (2) a single central Swiss population on Mount Rigi, and (3) all other populations located to the west and east of the central Swiss group (west-eastern populations). The population representing the putative French refugium was not distinct from the west-eastern populations but was different from the populations of central Switzerland. We consider this support for locally restricted in situ survival of E. alpinus in the northern Prealps or nearby Jura mountains (dating back to 60–28 ky BP). However, the west-eastern gene-pool probably immigrated postglacially from southern France through the prealpine lowlands (not before 14.6 kyr BP), skirting central Switzerland. The near-absence of gene flow among the central Swiss and the west-eastern populations may be the reason why these historical genetic patterns are still detectable. © 2002 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2002, 77, 87–103. 相似文献

Summary. Cell cultures were established from three human neurocytoma specimens (primary and recurrent). The phenotypic evolution was analyzed by immunocytology in different culture conditions in the presence and absence of serum including the addition of epidermal growth factor, rat caudate extract, retinoic acid, and N-acetyl cystein. The cells were grown on glass cover slides or an extracellular matrix (ECM) from bovine corneal endothelial cells. Immunostainings were performed after overnight incubation and were repeated after 5 and 10 days of culture. The cultures were compared to an oligoastrocytoma also arising at the foramen of Monro and an ependymoma of the frontal lateral ventricle, two tumors supposedly originating from the same tissue matrix as the neurocytoma. After overnight incubation, 90% of the neurocytoma cells were positive for A2B5 and synaptophysin. GFAP reactivity appeared in the periphery of cell processes in less than 1% of the cells. The staining patterns and morphology were nearly identical under the different culture conditions. After 5 days, almost all cells were strongly positive for GFAP, while the number of cells remaining positive for synaptophysin and A2B5 was unchanged from the earlier time point. Again, there were no fundamental differences between the incubation conditions. At this point, cultures maintained on ECM were compared to their counterparts on untreated glass cover slides with identical staining results, although many fewer cells had attached. An identical immuno-reactive pattern was found on day 10. In contrast to the neurocytoma cultures, there was an immediate strong GFAP signal in both the mixed glioma and the ependymoma. A2B5 was also positive, but synaptophysin was absent. Because the neurocytoma specimens were synaptophysin positive but GFAP negative by immunohistochemistry, it is concluded that neurocytomas may represent a human neuronoglial precursor tumor that switches its phenotype in culture to astroglial differentiation despite very diverse culture conditions. 相似文献
