Journal ArticleDOI
Amphibian communities in natural and constructed ridge top wetlands with implications for wetland construction
TL;DR: Comparing amphibian communities of natural wetlands to 2 types of constructed wetlands in the Daniel Boone National Forest, Kentucky underscores the need for monitoring constructed wetlands to assess ecological condition and provides suggestions to land managers who aim to construct isolated wetlands for amphibians.
Posted ContentDOI
The African Bullfrog (Pyxicephalus adspersus) genome unites the two ancestral ingredients for making vertebrate sex chromosomes
TL;DR: This work produced a chromosome-level genome assembly for the African Bullfrog and discovered that the Bullfrog Z is surprisingly homologous to substantial portions of the human X, highlighting the consistency of sex-linked sequences despite sex determination system lability and revealing the repeated use of two major genomic sequence blocks during vertebrate sex chromosome evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome Expression Balance in a Triploid Trihybrid Vertebrate.
Kyle E. McElroy,Robert D. Denton,Joel Sharbrough,Joel Sharbrough,Laura Bankers,Maurine Neiman,H. Lisle Gibbs +6 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of gene expression levels across the three parental genomes revealed that the unisexual triploid displays a pattern of genome balance, where 72% of the genes analyzed were expressed equally among the subgenomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary basis of mitonuclear discordance between sister species of mole salamanders (Ambystoma sp.)
Robert D. Denton,Laura J. Kenyon,Katherine R. Greenwald,Katherine R. Greenwald,H. Lisle Gibbs +4 more
TL;DR: This study provides a general example of the value of using complimentary analyses to make inferences of the directionality, timescale, and source of mtDNA introgression in animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
No safety in the trees: Local and species-level adaptation of an arboreal squirrel to the venom of sympatric rattlesnakes.
TL;DR: It is found that Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) venom inhibition by Eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) is higher at a site where the rattlesnakes are present, which suggests selection may maintain venom resistance in populations separated by short distances.
