Título: | Developmental Arrest during Embryonic Development of the Common Chameleon (Chamaeleo chamaeleon) in Spain |
Autor: | Andrews, Robin M.; Díaz-Paniagua, Carmen CSIC ORCID; Marco, Adolfo CSIC ORCID; Portheault, Alexandre | Fecha de publicación: | jun-2008 | Editor: | University of Chicago Press | Citación: | Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, Vol. 81, No. 3 (May/June 2008), pp. 336-344 | Resumen: | Embryonic development of the common chameleon, Chamae- leo chamaeleon, was monitored from oviposition to hatching at a field site in southwestern Spain and in the laboratory under five experimental temperature regimes. Embryos were dia- pausing gastrulae at the time of oviposition; developmental arrest in the field continued as cold torpor during winter. Post- arrest development in the field commenced in April, and hatch- ing occurred in August, for a total incubation period of 10.5 mo. In the laboratory, one group of eggs was incubated at a constant warm (26°C) temperature. The remaining treatments simulated field conditions and consisted of initial periods of warm temperature of 0, 27, 46, and 71 d, a subsequent 4-mo period of cold winter (16°C) temperature, and a final period of warm (26°C) temperature. Embryos in the constant warm temperature treatment were in diapause an average of 3 mo, with clutch means ranging from 2 to 4 mo. Hatching among clutches occurred over 2 mo. In contrast, for field and exper- imental eggs that experienced cold winter conditions, hatching within treatments occurred over 2–14 d; “winter” conditions synchronized development. The length of time between the end of cold conditions and hatching did not differ among treat- ments; development thus resumed as soon as temperature was suitable regardless of the initial period of warm temperature. Diapause in nature thus insures that embryos remain gastrulae after oviposition despite nest temperatures that may be warm enough to support development. | Versión del editor: | http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/529449 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/47461 | DOI: | 10.1086/529449 |
