Analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of the volatile components of Teucrium lusitanicum and Teucrium algarbiensis.
The essential oils from four samples of Teucrium lusitanicum and one sample of Teucrium algarbiensis, grown in Algarve (southern Portugal) were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). Seventy-one volatile compounds were identified. Major compounds of T. algarbiensis oil were alpha-pinene (8.3%), sabinene (7.2%), beta-pinene (10.2%), limonene (11.8%)...
متن کاملEvolutionary Ecology and Developmental Instability
The past decade has seen a resurgence of interest in developmental instability, reflected in fluctuating asymmetry, as a concept in evolutionary ecology. Many investigations interpret fluctuating asymmetry in populations or subsets of populations as reflecting the existence of, or at least the potential for, natural or sexual selection. However, the biological and nonbiological factors under l...
متن کاملDevelopmental selection against developmental instability: a direct demonstration.
Developmental selection, the non-random elimination of offspring during development, is hypothesized to alter the opportunity for selection on a given trait at later stages of the life cycle. Here, we provide a direct demonstration of developmental selection against developmental instability, assessed as the incidence of minor, discrete phenotypic abnormalities in the male sex comb, a condition...

متن کاملA primary role of developmental instability in sexual selection.
In evolutionary biology, fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is thought to reveal developmental instability (DI, inability to buffer development against perturbations), but its adaptive and genetic bases are being debated. In other fields, such as human clinical genetics, DI is being assessed as incidence of minor morphological abnormalities (MMAs) and used to predict certain fitness outcomes. Here, for...
