Panellus stypticus: Geographically Separated Interbreeding Populations

Factors determining the average body size of geographically separated Arctodiaptomus salinus (Daday, 1885) populations.

Arctodiaptomus salinus inhabits water bodies across Eurasia and North Africa. Based on our own data and that from the literature, we analyzed the influences of several factors on the intra- and inter-population variability of this species. A strong negative linear correlation between temperature and average body size in the Crimean and African populations was found, in which the parameters migh...

Grids: Harnessing Geographically-Separated Resources in a Multi- Organisational Context

A Case Study of Successful Geographically Separated Teamwork

We first give an overview of the project, its organizational and geographical structure. Before proceeding to the details of the case study, we discuss our approach and how we gathered the data for the case study. We then discuss the study teams’ process and its demographics. At the heart of the study are the basic factors — that is, what is meant by ‘‘successful’’ — and the various contributin...

The Morphological and Behavioral Analysis of Geographically Separated Rammeihippus turcicus (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Gomphocerinae) Populations: Data Result in Taxonomical Conflict

Rammeihippus Woznessenskij, 1996 (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Gomphocerinae) is a genus represented by two species. Rammeihippus turcicus (Ramme, 1939) is the only known species of the genus from Anatolia. As for most of the Gomphocerinae species in Anatolia, all populations of the species are intermittently distributed at high altitudes. In this study, three populations of R. turcicus were studied ...

Variation among geographically separated populations of Dermacentor andersoni (Acari: Ixodidae) in midgut susceptibility to Anaplasma marginale (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae).

Anaplasma marginale is a tick-borne rickettsial pathogen of cattle that is endemic throughout large areas of the United States. Cattle that survive acute infection become life-long persistently infected carriers. In the intermountain west the Rocky Mountain wood tick, Dermacentor andersoni Stiles, is the most common vector of A. marginale. Male D. andersoni acquire A. marginale when feeding on ...
