Taxonomic and floristic novelties for Echeveria (Crassulaceae) in Central Michoacan, Mexico
A new species, Echeveria coruana, is described and illustrated from the malpaís near San Andrés Corú, Michoacan, Mexico. The species belongs to series Gibbiflorae and the new taxon was compared with Echeveria purhepecha and Echeveria patriotica, with whom it shares the closest morphological affinities. Additionally, Echeveria yalmanantlaensis an endangered species from Sierra of Manantlán Biosp...
متن کاملInsect endosymbiont proliferation is limited by lipid availability
Spiroplasma poulsonii is a maternally transmitted bacterial endosymbiont that is naturally associated with Drosophila melanogaster. S. poulsonii resides extracellularly in the hemolymph, where it must acquire metabolites to sustain proliferation. In this study, we find that Spiroplasma proliferation specifically depletes host hemolymph diacylglyceride, the major lipid class transported by the l...
متن کاملMixed Mating System Are Regulated by Fecundity in Shorea curtisii (Dipterocarpaceae) as Revealed by Comparison under Different Pollen Limited Conditions
The maintenance of mixed mating was studied in Shorea curtisii, a dominant and widely distributed dipterocarp species in Southeast Asia. Paternity and hierarchical Bayesian analyses were used to estimate the parameters of pollen dispersal kernel, male fecundity and self-pollen affinity. We hypothesized that partial self incompatibility and/or inbreeding depression reduce the number of selfed se...
متن کاملIs pollen limited? The answer is blowin’ in the wind
Pollen from wind-pollinated trees has traditionally been assumed to be abundant and to travel long distances, resulting in extensive gene flow. However, recent empirical work by Knapp et al., genetic analysis by Sork et al., and theoretical models by Satake and Iwasa conclude that short-distance dispersal of limited pollen might be common and play an important role in causing the highly variabl...
متن کاملAn Experimental Study of Foundation Underpinning by Piles
Existing buildings sometimes experience excessive settlement under their design loads or face the prospect of excessive settlement in the future if a change of building use is required and increased foundation loadings will occur. Several methods of foundation enhancement are available to arrest settlements or improve the future performance of existing foundations including the method of underp...
