Molecular systematic perspectives on biome origins and dynamics.
Phylogenetic reconstructions of diverse tropical groups have yielded biological insights that extend well beyond the field of systematics, illuminating such topics as biome assembly and plant–insect coevolution. In this issue of New Phytologist, De-Nova et al. (pp. 276–287) present a rigorous time-calibrated phylogeny of the Neotropical tree genus Bursera in order to estimate lineage ages, and ...
متن کاملPerspectives on: Molecular dynamics and computational methods
547 The " Perspectives on: Molecular dynamics and computational methods " in this issue offers a measure of what can now be achieved using advanced computational methods to better understand biological and physiological systems at the atomic level. Protein complexes are molecular nano-machines, able to accomplish many different specific and complex tasks. Ultimately, one needs to be able to vis...
متن کاملNew perspectives on anthropoid origins.
Adaptive shifts associated with human origins are brought to light as we examine the human fossil record and study our own genome and that of our closest ape relatives. However, the more ancient roots of many human characteristics are revealed through the study of a broader array of living anthropoids and the increasingly dense fossil record of the earliest anthropoid radiations. Genomic data a...
متن کاملGenetic Perspectives on Human Origins
■ Abstract This is a review of genetic evidence about the ancient demography of the ancestors of our species and about the genesis of worldwide human diversity. The issue of whether or not a population size bottleneck occurred among our ancestors is under debate among geneticists as well as among anthropologists. The bottleneck, if it occurred, would confirm the Garden of Eden (GOE) model of th...
متن کاملA Review of Internet-Centered Language Assessment: Origins, Challenges, and Perspectives
This article defines the origin of an internet-centered language assessment (ICLA), how ICLAs are different from the other traditional computer-oriented tests, and what uses and functions ICLAs have in different taxonomies of language testing. After a very short review of computer- oriented testing, ICLAs are defined and categorized in low-tech or high tech categories. Since low-tech tests are ...
