Epigenetics for ecologists.
There is now mounting evidence that heritable variation in ecologically relevant traits can be generated through a suite of epigenetic mechanisms, even in the absence of genetic variation. Moreover, recent studies indicate that epigenetic variation in natural populations can be independent from genetic variation, and that in some cases environmentally induced epigenetic changes may be inherited...
متن کاملDNA barcoding for ecologists.
DNA barcoding - taxon identification using a standardized DNA region - has received much attention recently, and is being further developed through an international initiative. We anticipate that DNA barcoding techniques will be increasingly used by ecologists. They will be able to not only identify a single species from a specimen or an organism's remains but also determine the species composi...
متن کاملStatistical Properties of Optimal Paths
We study the statistical properties of optimal paths in weighted complex networks with general distribution of weights. We find a general criterion for the strength of disorder and show the relation of optimal paths properties to percolation, in both strong and weak disorder limits. Transport in weighted networks is dominated by the minimum spanning tree (MST), the tree connecting all nodes wit...

متن کاملA gentle introduction to quantile regression for ecologists
www.frontiersinecology.org © The Ecological Society of America R is a common statistical method employed by scientists to investigate relationships between variables. Quantile regression (Koenker and Bassett 1978) is a method for estimating functional relations between variables for all portions of a probability distribution. Although it has begun to be used in ecology and biology (Table 1), ma...
