Abstract Predators significantly impact the development process and subsequently influence metamorphic decisions of amphibian larvae. Larvae often exhibit induced growth plasticity in response to presence predators. However, rates are not always perfectly correlated, responses can vary throughout ontogeny. It is crucial consider stage‐specific by Here, we employ a critical windows experimental design examine development‐related predators endangered Chinhai spiny newt ( Echinotriton...
Predators significantly influence amphibian larval development. Predator-induced plasticity is often studied independently from conspecific density effects, but these environmental factors may interact. We conducted two-factor factorial experimental design to manipulate and predator cues, aiming investigate the or interactive impacts of two on development Chinhai spiny newt larvae (Echinotriton chinhaiensis). Our findings reveal that both high low densities constrain growth predators also...
Animal coloration offers a unique opportunity to explore the evolutionary mechanisms underlying phenotypic diversity. Conspicuous caused by pigments plays crucial role in social signaling across multiple species conveying information about individual quality, ranks, or reproductive condition. Nevertheless, most previous studies have focused predominantly on colors produced exogenous pigments—carotenoids. Pterins are another prevalent group of conspicuous pigments, which can be endogenously...
ABSTRACT How divergence occurs between closely related organisms in the absence of geographic barriers to gene flow stands as one long‐standing questions evolutionary biology. Previous studies suggested that interplay selection, and recombination strongly affected process with flow. However, extent which these forces interact drive remains largely ambiguous.
