Genetic accommodation via modified endocrine signalling explains phenotypic divergence among spadefoot toad species.

Nature communications - 19 Oct 2017

Kulkarni Saurabh S, Denver Robert J, Gomez-Mestre Ivan, Buchholz Daniel R

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic differences among species may evolve through genetic accommodation, but mechanisms accounting for this process are poorly understood. Here we compare hormonal variation underlying differences in the timing of metamorphosis among three spadefoot toads with different larval periods and responsiveness to pond drying. We find that, in response to pond drying, Pelobates cultripes and Spea multiplicata...
