A shore-based preliminary survey of marine ribbon worms (Nemertea) from the Caribbean coast of Colombia
A checklist of benthic ribbon worm species from the Caribbean coast of Colombia is presented, including synonyms, distributions, a photographic record, and the main morphologic characters of each species for a rapid identification. This is the first research focused broadly on nemerteans in Colombia. 54 specimens of nemerteans were hand-collected from the rocky littoral of two different localit...
متن کاملEvaluating the Utility of Single-Locus DNA Barcoding for the Identification of Ribbon Worms (Phylum Nemertea)
Whereas many nemerteans (ribbon worms; phylum Nemertea) can be identified from external characters if observed alive, many are still problematic. When it comes to preserved specimens (as in e.g. marine inventories), there is a particular need for specimen identifier alternatives. Here, we evaluate the utility of COI (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) as a single-locus barcoding gene. We sequenced...
متن کاملMutation and Selection Cause Codon Usage and Bias in Mitochondrial Genomes of Ribbon Worms (Nemertea)
The phenomenon of codon usage bias is known to exist in many genomes and it is mainly determined by mutation and selection. To understand the patterns of codon usage in nemertean mitochondrial genomes, we use bioinformatic approaches to analyze the protein-coding sequences of eight nemertean species. Neutrality analysis did not find a significant correlation between GC12 and GC3. ENc-plot showe...
متن کاملWhat Do Poor Children Die From? Some Evidence From Cebu, The Philippines
Evidence that poor children have a higher risk of dying in childhood than better-off children is accumulating fast. This evidence relates to deaths from all causes. This paper reports evidence showing the socio-economic gradient of child mortality by cause of death. It uses retrospective survey data from Cebu (the Philippines), and measures inequality using an index that is closely related to t...
متن کاملIntergenerational Transmission of Mother-to-Child Health: Evidence from Cebu, the Philippines
Using rich longitudinal data from the Philippines, we causally estimate the transmission of maternal health to child health, from birth through preadolescence. To obtain exogenous variation in maternal health we exploit an array of data on climate (temperature, precipitation and cyclone) shocks surrounding the time of the mother’s birth and during her early childhood. This large set of instrume...
