Funded Activity Summary
Uterodomes and the evolution of viviparity. We will test the hypothesis that uterodomes, which are cell structures unique to the early pregnant uterus in mammals, and the cellular changes accompanying their development, are essential to the evolution of viviparity in amniotes. The proposal stems from our recent discovery that uterodomes develop in the uteri of viviparous lizards as well as in mammals, suggesting key commonalities at the cellular level in the evolution of live birth across amniote vertebrates. We will take advantage of the unique combination of placental types among Australian lizards, including a species with both oviparous and viviparous populations.Funded Activity Details
