Abstract
To understand the evolutionary processes involved in the expression of ecologically relevant phenotypical variability it is necessary to disentangle the processes that govern the heredity of said traits. Such is the case of dorsal patterns in the Iberian painted frog, Discoglossus galganoi, which presents both a striped and a spotted morph. Here I studied whether the expression of such patterns is subjected to single-locus Mendelian heredity. I crossed males and females with each pattern in all possible combinations and calculated the percentage of each pattern in the offspring. The proportions obtained were compatible with single-locus Mendelian heredity.
期刊介绍：
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation (antes Miscel·lània Zoològica) es una revista interdisciplinar, publicada desde 1958 por el Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona. Incluye artículos de investigación empírica y teórica en todas las áreas de la zoología (sistemática, taxonomía, morfología, biogeografía, ecología, etología, fisiología y genética) procedentes de todas las regiones del mundo. La revista presta especial interés a los estudios que planteen un problema nuevo o introduzcan un tema nuevo, con hipòtesis y prediccions claras, y a los trabajos que de una manera u otra tengan relevancia en la biología de la conservación. No se publicaran artículos puramente descriptivos, o artículos faunísticos o corológicos en los que se describa la distribución en el espacio o en el tiempo de los organismes zoológicos.
