[8] (a general linear model and a circuit model) come to opposing conclusions?Whichmechanismsmake one hostile habitat, clear-fells, act as a barrier, while the hostile pine plantations enhanced connectivity? Andhowmight theCirce principle apply to the main pollinator taxon, bees (Hymenoptera: Apiformes), which...

Genetic hitch-hiking in a subdivided population.

The problem of genetic hitch-hiking in a geographically subdivided population is analysed under the assumption that migration rates among populations are relatively small compared with the selection coefficient for a newly arising advantageous allele. The approximate method used in the paper is valid when the number of emigrants per generation (Nm) is less than one. The approximate analysis sho...

A fat ride

JCB • VOLUME 169 • NUMBER 4 • 2005 550 A fat ride he Wingless (Wg) and Hedgehog (Hh) morphogens spread beween cells by catching a ride on lipoprotein particles, say Daniela Panáková, Hein Sprong, Christoph Thiele, Suzanne Eaton, and colleagues (Max Planck, Dresden, Germany). The group had earlier spotted unidentified intercellular signaling particles that they dubbed argosomes. Argosomes are no...
