Abstract:
Under investigation is a complex of inherited physiological properties of the morpha striata (a monogenous dominant mutation) in two species of the genus Rana. Insufficient effectiveness of the potassium-sodium pump responsible for the skin transport in amphibians had lead to formation of a number of compensative physiological mechanisms in this morpha. The yearlings of the morpha striata are characterized by highly dynamic hemopoetic system playing important role in individual adaptations to unstable environments. Such a high level of metabolism in the morpha striata promotes rising of adaptive potential of the nervous system due to decrease of the excitability threshold, but causes shortening the life span. Therefore, physiological differences correlated with polymorph structure of the close species can be of crucial importance in their adaptations under existence in the natural and artificial geochemical anomalies and in anthropogenically disturbed ecosystems.
