No evidence of genetic differentiation between lesser redpolls Carduelis flammea cabaret and common redpolls Carduelis f. flammea
The redpoll finch complex Carduelis flammea-hornemanni has received much attention from taxonomists due to its remarkable variation in plumage and morphology. Some authors have suggested one highly variable species, flammea, while others have suggested seven species (see Knox 1988 for review). The most widely held view recognises two species, the common redpoll (including flammea, islandica, ro...
متن کاملEvidence for a Relationship Between the Movements of the Common Redpoll (Acanthis flammea) and the American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis)
Results and Discussion: Historic data indicate that east of the Rocky Mountains, both species overwinter in relatively even numbers across latitudes. In contrast, we found few significant positive correlations between the winter records of each species in different areas along the same longitude. We attribute these patterns to the fact that resource levels and environmental conditions tend to b...
متن کاملSymbiotic Associations in the Phenotypically-Diverse Brown Alga Saccharina japonica
The brown alga Saccharina japonica (Areschoug) Lane, Mayes, Druehl et Saunders is a highly polymorphic representative of the family Laminariaceae, inhabiting the northwest Pacific region. We have obtained 16S rRNA sequence data in symbiont microorganisms of the typical form (TYP) of S. japonica and its common morphological varieties, known as "longipes" (LON) and "shallow-water" (SHA), which sh...
متن کاملComplex Mitochondrial DNA in Human Tumors1
The frequency with which complex mitochondrial DNA forms occur in DNA extracted from a number of human solid tumors was determined. The catenated forms in all but one sample were within the ranges of frequency reported previously in animal tissue. One sample contained 14%catenated dimers and 10%catenated higher oligomers. Circular dimers were present in 12 of 15 samples, ranging in frequency fr...
متن کاملCombined nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences resolve generic relationships within the Cracidae (Galliformes, Aves).
The Cracidae is one of the most endangered and distinctive bird families in the Neotropics, yet the higher relationships among taxa remain uncertain. The molecular phylogeny of its 11 genera was inferred using 10,678 analyzable sites (5,412 from seven different mitochondrial segments and 5,266 sites from four nuclear genes). We performed combinability tests to check conflicts in phylogenetic si...
