Convergent morphological evolution detected by studying proteins of tree frogs in the Hyla eximia species group.

Author:	LR Maxson; AC Wilson
Edition/Format:	Article : English
Publication:	Science (New York, N.Y.) 1974 Jul 5; 185(4145): 66-8
Database:	From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Summary:	Protein studies have uncovered an apparent case of convergent evolution among North American tree frogs. The species Hyla eximia and Hyla regilla are so similar in external morphology that the "wrightorum" subspecies is assigned by some authorities to H. eximia and by others to H. regilla. Yet microcomplement fixation experiments show that "wrightorum" albumin, though virtually indistinguishable from authentic H. eximia albumin, differs as much from H. regilla albumin as from albumins of species outside the genus Hyla, such as Acris crepitans. The morphological resemblance of "wrightorum" to H. regilla is thus probably due to convergence.  Read more...
