Chloroplast DNA variation in a wild plant, tolmiea menziesii.
Few studies of cpDNA have provided evolutionary and/or phylogenetic information at the intraspecific level. We analyzed restriction site variation using 19 endonucleases in 37 populations representing both diploid (2n = 14) and autotetraploid (2n = 28) Tolmiea menziesii. Seven restriction site mutations and five length mutations were observed. Although diploid and tetraploid Tolmiea have been i...
متن کاملRegional subdivision in wild barley allozyme variation: adaptive or neutral?
We examined the adaptive importance of allozyme variation in wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum). The test involved a nested sampling design with four population groups, each representing a different environment, and a comparison of observed allozyme variation with that expected under the assumption that allozymes are not neutral. Measurements of plant fitness in indigenous and alien environments ...
متن کامل: metadiscourse in introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics research articles: exploring variation in frequency and type
abstract in written mode of language, metadiscourse markers are used commonly to help writers in general and academic writers in particular to produce coherent and professional texts. the purpose of the present study was to compare introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics articles regarding their use of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers based on the model pro...
15 صفحه اولLittle geographic or host plant genetic variation in a Chionochloa ( Poaceae ) seed predator ( Cecidomyiidae : undescribed species )
The grass genus Chionochloa in New Zealand exhibits a high degree of mast seeding synchronised across species and habitats. Masting appears to be maintained by a predator satiation mechanism involving three pre-dispersal seedand flower-feeding insects. It is not clear how important each of the three insects is in favouring the masting strategy. An undescribed cecidomyiid fly (Diptera: Cecidomyi...

This study examines the relation between folk expertise and wild plant classification in Little Dixie, a sevencounty vernacular cultural region in central Missouri. A successive pile-sort task was administered to ten local wild plant “experts” and ten “novices” of Euro-American descent to investigate how ethnobotanical knowledge influences the cognitive construction of folk taxonomies. The resu...
