Microsatellite variation and evolution in the Mimulus guttatus species complex with contrasting mating systems.
Mutational variability at microsatellite loci is shaped by both population history and the mating system. In turn, alternate mating systems in flowering plants can resolve aspects of microsatellite loci evolution. Five species of yellow monkeyflowers (Mimulus sect. Simiolis) differing for historical rates of inbreeding were surveyed for variation at six microsatellite loci. High levels of diver...
متن کاملContrasting size evolution in marine and freshwater diatoms.
Diatoms are key players in the global carbon cycle and most aquatic ecosystems. Their cell sizes impact carbon sequestration and energy transfer to higher trophic levels. We report fundamental differences in size distributions of marine and freshwater diatoms, with marine diatoms significantly larger than freshwater species. An evolutionary game theoretical model with empirical allometries of g...
متن کاملPhysid snails as sentinels of freshwater nematomorphs.
Freshwater nematomorphs, or gordiids, are parasitic as larvae, but free-living in aquatic environments as adults. Studies based on the collection of adults have reported gordiids to be widespread, but discontinuous in distribution. However, a relatively short adult life span and unknown life history make the detection of adults difficult. An alternative approach to investigate gordiid distribut...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny and evolution of the cone snails (Gastropoda, Conoidea).
We present a large-scale molecular phylogeny that includes 320 of the 761 recognized valid species of the cone snails (Conus), one of the most diverse groups of marine molluscs, based on three mitochondrial genes (COI, 16S rDNA and 12S rDNA). This is the first phylogeny of the taxon to employ concatenated sequences of several genes, and it includes more than twice as many species as the last pu...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Insect Mating Systems.
That's it, a book to wait for in this month. Even you have wanted for long time for releasing this book the evolution of insect mating systems; you may not be able to get in some stress. Should you go around and seek fro the book until you really get it? Are you sure? Are you that free? This condition will force you to always end up to get a book. But now, we are coming to give you excellent so...
