Hematopoiesis of Anurans: Specific Features of Species Adaptiogenesis in Recent Ecosystems

摘要

Studies on the hematological parameters of amphibians along the gradient of anthropogenic transformation of the environment have revealed significant changes in the blood of animals exposed to the influences of urbanization and pollution. Qualitativedifferences in the adaptive strategies (as applied to hematopoiesis) of three species of the genus Rana are considered. It is shown how differences in population polymorphism of closely related species can affect these species upon anthropogenic transformation of the environment.
