Black and White: Structural and Functional Aspects of Dermal Chromatophores of the Marbled Whiptail Lizard (Cnemidophorus Marmoratus)
… The marbled whiptail lizard, Cnemidophorus marmoratus (Lacertilia: Teiidae), is found in hot deserts of southeastern New Mexico and western Texas and is often above ground during the hottest times of the day. When active, these lizards encounter a broad range and intensity of visible and …

BIOMECHANICS OF AN AMPHIBIOUS FISH: MORPHOLOGY, KINEMATICS, KINETICS, AND MOTOR CONTROL OF THE MANGROVE RIVULUS, KRYPTOLEBIAS MARMORATUS (CYPRINODONTIFORMES)
… form, with the mangrove rivulus (Kryptolebias marmoratus) being a terrific exemplar. This modern teleost fish has a characteristic-looking fish body plan that does not suggest its ability to efficiently transition from water to land, let alone to locomote once out of the water. I performed many …

Variation at Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Loci In Two Killifish Species with Reduced Genetic Variance
… been discussed. The marine killifish Rivulus marmoratus is the only vertebrate known to exist in nature in homozygous form. The findings of this study suggest that MHC class I genes at one locus in R. marmoratus have rapidly accumulated variation, particularly in region of the gene encoding …

Hypervariable DNA markers and population structure in three fish species
… and Florida of the clonal species <i>Rivulus marmoratus</i> were examined to determine the relative contributions of mutation and migration to genetic variation in the species. Specimens of <i>Poecilia latipinna</i>, the sailfin molly, from Florida and Georgia were used to explore the …

An Assessment of Visual Encounter Surveys for an Elusive Species: The Dunes Sagebrush Lizard (Sceloporus arenicolus)
… species, Uta stansburiana and Aspidoscelis marmoratus. The minimum number of surveys, needed to reliably detect these species, was then calculated from detection estimates. A total of 1,135 individual lizards were recorded, 12 of which were S. arenicolus. The mean detection probability for …

Using molecular genetic techniques to detect outcrossing in natural populations of a self-fertilizing fish
The hermaphroditic fish, Rivulus marmoratus, is the only vertebrate known to reproduce by internal self-fertilization; this process results in populations of homozygous clones. Most natural populations consist entirely of hermaphrodites, but phenotypically distinct, fertile males occur at …

Comment la socialité impacte-t-elle les réponses comportementales et physiologiques des lignées isogéniques d'un poisson amphibien des mangroves au stress thermique?
… utilisant le killi dues mangroves (Kryptolebias marmoratus) comme modèle, un poisson tropical amphibie et auto-fertilisant, nous avons testé les hypothèses 1) que la stimulation sociale impacte les réponses thermiques physiologiques et comportementales dans une même lignée isogénique ainsi …

The ecology of the two-spined blackfish Gadopsis Bispinosus (Pisces: Gadopsidae)

Low Temperature Induction of Males and Other Developmental Anomalies in a Self-Fertilizing Hermaphroditic Fish Species
Rivulus marmoratus (Cyprinodont; Aplochelidae) is the only vertebrate known to reproduce by obligate internal self-fertilization. Selfing is the ultimate form of inbreeding and leads to virtual homozygosity in approximately ten generations, so that this mode of reproduction is effectively clonal. …

Comparisons of Fish Species Inside and Outside of Marine Protected Areas off the South Central Coast of California
… difference in CPUE. Cabezon (<em>Scorpaenichthys marmoratus</em>), showed a significantly lower CPUE (50.5%) using the MLPA monitoring protocols compared to the commercial fishing protocol and black and yellow rockfish (<em>Sebastes chrysomelas</em>) had a significantly higher CPUE (310%) using …

Phylogenetic History, Morphological Parallelism, and Speciation in a Complex of Appalachian Salamanders (Genus: Desmognathus)
Understanding the mechanisms that generate shared morphologies across closely related taxa is important when identifying distinct evolutionary lineages using morphological characters. Desmognathus salamanders are an ideal group for testing hypotheses concerning the correlation between morphological …
