Genome size, cell size, and the evolution of enucleated erythrocytes in attenuate salamanders.

Zoology (Jena, Germany) - 1 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

Within the salamander family Plethodontidae, five different clades have evolved high levels of enucleated red blood cells, which are extremely unusual among non-mammalian vertebrates. In each of these five clades, the salamanders have large genomes and miniaturized or attenuated body forms. Such a correlation suggests that the loss of nuclei in red blood cells may be related, in part, to the interaction between...
