DNA barcodes for biosecurity: invasive species identification.
Biosecurity encompasses protecting against any risk through 'biological harm', not least being the economic impact from the spread of pest insects. Molecular diagnostic tools provide valuable support for the rapid and accurate identification of morphologically indistinct alien species. However, these tools currently lack standardization. They are not conducive to adaptation by multiple sectors ...
متن کاملHotspot Concept: The French Polynesia Complexity
At the surface of the Earth, volcanism is found in several tectonic contexts. It is largely concentrated at the plate margins: at divergent plate boundaries, mid-oceanic ridges, where new tectonic plates are created, and at convergent margins, subduction zones, where the lithospheric plates dive into the mantle. In the interior of the oceanic plates, we find however linear volcanic chains, comp...

COVER Water swirls in a vortex above two millimeter-sized coral polyps (pink and purple) in “Invisible Coral Flows,” which won fi rst place in the photography category of the 2013 Science/NSF International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge. The vortex, driven by the polyps’ wafting cilia, helps the coral draw in nutrients and sweep away waste products. The winning entries are featur...

متن کاملFrom barcodes to genomes: extending the concept of DNA barcoding.
DNA barcoding has had a major impact on biodiversity science. The elegant simplicity of establishing massive scale databases for a few barcode loci is continuing to change our understanding of species diversity patterns, and continues to enhance human abilities to distinguish among species. Capitalizing on the developments of next generation sequencing technologies and decreasing costs of genom...
