Molecular evolution of non-visual opsin genes across environmental, developmental, and morphological adaptations in frogs

J. L. Boyette, R. C. Bell, M. K. Fujita, K. N. Thomas, J. W. Streicher, D. J. Gower, R. K. Schott

This study investigates the molecular evolution of non-visual opsin genes in frogs, identifying expressed genes, comparing selective constraints, and detecting adaptive evolution across ecological classes.

Evolutionary drivers of polymorphic sexual signals in slender anoles

I. Prates, A. B. D'Angiolella, M. T. Rodrigues, P. R. Melo-Sampaio, K. de Queiroz, R. C. Bell

The paper examines factors driving variation in dewlap colors of slender anoles, finding that interactions with closely related species, rather than environmental factors, promote dewlap divergence.

Sexual Dichromatism Drives Diversification Within a Major Radiation of African Amphibians

D. M. Portik, R. C. Bell, D. C. Blackburn, A. M. Bauer, C. D. Barratt, W. R. Branch, M. Burger, A. Channing, T. J. Colston, W. Conradie, J. M. Dehling, R. C. Drewes, R. Ernst, E. Greenbaum, V. Gvozdik, , J. A. McGuire

The paper investigates the evolutionary origins of sexual dichromatism in African reed frogs and finds that dichromatic lineages have double the diversification rate of monochromatic ones.
