Abstract excerpt
We used two different experimental approaches to test the hypothesis that thyroid hormone receptor (TR) variation is associated with alternate life cycles modes in ambystomatid salamanders. In the first experiment, the inheritance of TRalpha and TRbeta genotypes was determined for metamorphic and non metamorphic offspring from backcrosses between Ambystoma mexicanum (an obligate metamorphic-failure species) and...
