About this Agricultural and Biological Sciences article
Miniaturization, Genome Size and the Origin of Functional Constraints in the Visual System of Salamanders by Gerhard Roth; Bernd Rottluff; Rüdiger Linke is a Agricultural and Biological Sciences article available to read on EtoBox.
During their evolution, many species of lungless salamanders (fam. Plethodontidae) have experienced a great increase in genome size and consequently in the size of their cells, including sensory receptors and neurons. In addition, some have become extremely miniaturized. The consequences of these events and the morphological compensatory processes are studied in the visual system of juvenile and adult salamanders.
It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Agricultural and Biological Sciences.
