Developmental shifts and species selection in gastropods.
The fossil record of marine gastropods has been used as evidence to support the operation of species selection; namely, that species with limited dispersal differentially increase in numbers because they are more likely to speciate than widely dispersing species. This conclusion is based on a tacit phylogenetic assumption that increases in species with limited dispersal are solely the result of...
متن کاملAbundance and Species Richness of Intertidal Gastropods in Qeshm Island, the Persian Gulf, Before and After Cyclone Gonu (2007-2008)
The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of cyclone Gonu on species diversity and abundance of gastropods in the Qeshm Island, northern Persian Gulf, on the occasion of the occurrence of super cyclonic and strongest reported storm- Gonu- during 1-4, June 2007 in the eastern Arabian Sea. Samples were collected before the Gonu storm (late May and early June 2007) and twice ...
متن کاملMHC polymorphism can enrich the T cell repertoire of the species by shifts in intrathymic selection.
The murine class I molecule H-2Kb and its natural gene conversion variant, H-2Kbm8, which differs from H-2Kb solely at 4 aa at the bottom of the peptide-binding B pocket, are expressed in coisogenic mouse strains C57BL/6 (B6) and B6.C-H-2bm8 (bm8). These two strains provide an excellent opportunity to study the effects of Mhc class I polymorphism on the T cell repertoire. We recently discovered...
متن کاملSeedling Transplant Selection Does Not Cause Genetic Shifts in Genebank Populations of Inbred Potato Species
A basic goal of the U.S. Potato Genebank (USPG) and others is to test assumptions about the stability of genetic diversity in their collections. For example, when heterogeneous seed populations are regenerated, one assumes that using a careful regeneration protocol will result in very little diversity loss in the progeny. However, even the most careful mating scheme cannot prevent genetic selec...
متن کاملIncorporating abundance information and guiding variable selection for climate-based ensemble forecasting of species' distributional shifts
Ecological niche models (ENMs) have increasingly been used to estimate the potential effects of climate change on species' distributions worldwide. Recently, predictions of species abundance have also been obtained with such models, though knowledge about the climatic variables affecting species abundance is often lacking. To address this, we used a well-studied guild (temperate North American ...
