“…However, it is not clear that fecal odors (or their absence) are the critical determinants of this phenomenon. For example, it could be that integumentary secretions (Bogert, 1941;Noble, 1937;Noble & Clausen, 1936;Radcliffe & Smith, 1977) rubbed onto objects in the soiled cage are the agents that suppress defecation. Experiment 4 was designed to show that odors associated with feces are at least partly responsible for the effects described in the previous experiments.…”

“…Koelliker [1877] (zitiert nach M ann [1961]) hielt das Vome ronasalsystem für ein Organ des «Selbstriechens», Broman [1920] für ein Flüssigkeitsgeruchsorgan und nach Gastaut und Lammers [1961] haben verschiedene Autoren in seiner Rückentwicklung Zeichen einer Anpassung an das Erdenleben gesehen. Vergleichend-anatomische D aten (Crosby und Humphrey [1939 a]) und einige experim entelle Befunde an Subm am m aliern (Kahm ann [1932]; Noble und Clausen [1936]; Noble und K u m p f [1936] und Wilde [1938]) deuten auf ein W itterungsorgan hin, welches vor allem dazu befähigen würde, dem U ntergrund anhaftende chemische Substanzen wahrzunehm en. Es fehlt deswegen nach Crosby und Humphrey bei den fliegenden Formen und ist beim aufrechten Gang reduziert.…”

“…The D max for amphibians are from a summary (166 articles, 90 species) compiled by Alex Smith and Green (Alex Smith and Green, 2005) and we estimated typical body masses of each species from field guides and the literature. The D max and typical body mass values for reptiles were taken from a variety of studies (Noble and Clausen, 1936; Hirth et al, 1969; Brown and Parker, 1976;Wiewandt, 1977;Werner, 1983; Larsen, 1987; Brown and Brooks, 1994;Madsen and Shine, 1996;Plummer, 1997;Pough et al, 1998; Hokit et al, 1999; Blouin-Demers and Weatherhead, 2002;Middendorf et al, 2005;Marshall et al, 2006; Keogh et al, 2007; Dubey et al., 2008;Rutherford and Gregory, 2003;Templeton et al, 2011;Warner and Shine, 2008;Welsh et al, 2010). The D max and typical body mass values for birds and mammals were taken from Sutherland et al (Sutherland et al, 2000).…”

Physiological vagility and its relationship to dispersal and neutral genetic heterogeneity in vertebrates

Vagility is the inherent power of movement by individuals. Vagility and the available duration of movement determine the dispersal distance individuals can move to interbreed, which affects the fine-scale genetic structure of vertebrate populations. Vagility and variation in population genetic structure are normally explained by geographic variation and not by the inherent power of movement by individuals. We present a new, quantitative definition for physiological vagility that incorporates aerobic capacity, body size, body temperature and the metabolic cost of transport, variables that are independent of the physical environment. Physiological vagility is the speed at which an animal can move sustainably based on these parameters. This metaanalysis tests whether this definition of physiological vagility correlates with empirical data for maximal dispersal distances and measured microsatellite genetic differentiation with distance {[F ST /[1−F ST )]/ln distance} for amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals utilizing three locomotor modes (running, flying, swimming). Maximal dispersal distance and physiological vagility increased with body mass for amphibians, reptiles and mammals utilizing terrestrial movement. The relative slopes of these relationships indicate that larger individuals require longer movement durations to achieve maximal dispersal distances. Both physiological vagility and maximal dispersal distance were independent of body mass for flying vertebrates. Genetic differentiation with distance was greatest for terrestrial locomotion, with amphibians showing the greatest mean and variance in differentiation. Flying birds, flying mammals and swimming marine mammals showed the least differentiation. Mean physiological vagility of different groups (class and locomotor mode) accounted for 98% of the mean variation in genetic differentiation with distance in each group. Genetic differentiation with distance was not related to body mass. The physiological capacity for movement (physiological vagility) quantitatively predicts genetic isolation by distance in the vertebrates examined. KEY WORDS: Vagility, Dispersal and body mass, Genetic isolation by distance, Meta-analysis, Microsatellites INTRODUCTIONEvolution can be defined as a change in allele frequencies within a population over time. The mechanisms responsible for changes in genetic variation over time are important for understanding biological variation and evolution. Mutations that convey a selective advantage to an organism, whether physiological or morphological, are predicted to be perpetuated by natural selection. What is less clear is how to mechanistically explain genetic variation of selectively neutral mutations such as microsatellites. Genetic variation of neutral microsatellite loci is the most common technique used to evaluate population genetic structure (Jehle and Arntzen, 2002). One explanation to account for variation of microsatellite loci and increased meta-population structure is low gene flow. Reduced gene flow creates ge...
