Rearrangement and evolution of mitochondrial genomes in parrots.
Mitochondrial genome rearrangements that result in control region duplication have been described for a variety of birds, but the mechanisms leading to their appearance and maintenance remain unclear, and their effect on sequence evolution has not been explored. A recent survey of mitochondrial genomes in the Psittaciformes (parrots) found that control region duplications have arisen independen...
متن کاملPuerto Rican Parrots and Potential Limitations of the Metapopulation Approach to Species Conservation
Population viability analyses for a number of endangered species have incorporated a metapopulation approach. The risk assessments of these viability analyses have indicated that some extant populations should be subdivided into numerous subgroups with exchange of individuals among them in order to reduce the chance of catastrophic loss of the species. However, routine application of a policy o...
متن کاملSerum free light chain measurements move to center stage.
For more than 150 years, the presence of Bence Jones protein [immunoglobulin free light chains (FLCs)] in the urine has been an important diagnostic marker for multiple myeloma. Indeed, it was the first cancer test, and 100 years before any others (1 ). Over the last few years, however, interest in FLCs has undergone a renaissance. Development of serum tests for free and free has opened the doo...
متن کاملEcosystem Evolution and Conservation
A major problem in conservation biology is to decide the target of conservation: should conservation efforts aim to preserve species or ecosystems? The traditional approach has, by necessity, focused on particular species threatened by extinction. With the increasing attention on preserving biodiversity at large, for which the species-by-species approach falls short, a trend is now emerging tha...
متن کاملEvolution and Conservation
Traditionally, evolutionary biology has had a distant relationship to conservation comparedwith ecology and field-based natural history. However, this situation has changeddramatically in the last twodecades,particularly as abundantmoleculardatahavebecomeavailable for atrisk speciesof conservation concern.As the availabilityof genome-level data for these species increases, the role of evolution...
