Saxitoxin and tetrodotoxin bioavailability increases in future oceans (2019)
Journal Article
Roggatz, C. C., Fletcher, N., Benoit, D. M., Algar, A. C., Doroff, A., Wright, B., …Hardege, J. D. (2019). Saxitoxin and tetrodotoxin bioavailability increases in future oceans. Nature Climate Change, 9(11), 840-844. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-019-0589-3

© 2019, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited. Increasing atmospheric CO2 levels are largely absorbed by the ocean, decreasing surface water pH1. In combination with increasing ocean temperatures, these changes have been i... Read More about Saxitoxin and tetrodotoxin bioavailability increases in future oceans.

Transcriptomic signatures of experimental alkaloid consumption in a poison frog (2019)
Journal Article
Sanchez, E., Rodríguez, A., Grau, J. H., Lötters, S., Künzel, S., Saporito, R. A., …Vences, M. (2019). Transcriptomic signatures of experimental alkaloid consumption in a poison frog. Genes, 10(10), 733. https://doi.org/10.3390/genes10100733

© 2019 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. In the anuran family Dendrobatidae, aposematic species obtain their toxic or unpalatable alkaloids from dietary sources, a process known as sequestering. To understand how toxicity evolved in...

Environmental temperatures shape thermal physiology as well as diversification and genome-wide substitution rates in lizards (2019)
Journal Article
García-Porta, J., Irisarri, I., Kirchner, M., Rodriguez, A., Kirchhof, S., Brown, J. L., …Wollenberg Valero, K. C. (2019). Environmental temperatures shape thermal physiology as well as diversification and genome-wide substitution rates in lizards. Nature communications, 10(1), Article 4077. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-11943-x

© 2019, The Author(s). Climatic conditions changing over time and space shape the evolution of organisms at multiple levels, including temperate lizards in the family Lacertidae. Here we reconstruct a dated phylogenetic tree of 262 lacertid species b...

Patterns, mechanisms and genetics of speciation in reptiles and amphibians (2019)
Journal Article
Wollenberg Valero, K. C., Marshall, J. C., Bastiaans, E., Caccone, A., Camargo, A., Morando, M., …Steinfartz, S. (2019). Patterns, mechanisms and genetics of speciation in reptiles and amphibians. Genes, 10(9), Article 646. https://doi.org/10.3390/genes10090646

© 2019 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. In this contribution, the aspects of reptile and amphibian speciation that emerged from research performed over the past decade are reviewed. First, this study assesses how patterns and proces... Read More about Patterns, mechanisms and genetics of speciation in reptiles and amphibians.
