Are there species smaller than 1 mm?
The rapid advance in genetic sequencing technologies has provided an unprecedented amount of data on the biodiversity of meiofauna. It was hoped that these data would allow the identification and counting of species, distinguished as tight clusters of similar genomes. Surprisingly, this appears not to be the case. Here, we begin a theoretical discussion of this phenomenon, drawing on an individ...
متن کاملSexual Dimorphism in Volume of the Cerebral Hemispheres and Lateral Ventricles in Schizophrenia Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Purpose: This study is designed to determine the sexual dimorphism pattern in volume of the cerebral hemispheres and lateral ventricles in schizophrenia using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to compare it with normal sexual dimorphism pattern in healthy brains. Materials and Methods: This study is performed on 29 healthy volunteers (21 males, 8 females) and 29 patients suffered from schiz...
متن کاملCurrent noise-removal methods can create false signals in ecogenomic data.
Cite this article: Rossberg AG, Rogers T, McKane AJ. 2014 Current noise-removal methods can create false signals in ecogenomic data. In a recent article [1], we examined a simple and rather generic individual-based model consisting of a large number of organisms that undergo reproduction with mutation and death through competitive interaction. Our analysis revealed that the formation and cohere...
متن کاملPlant Proteins Are Smaller Because They Are Encoded by Fewer Exons than Animal Proteins
Protein size is an important biochemical feature since longer proteins can harbor more domains and therefore can display more biological functionalities than shorter proteins. We found remarkable differences in protein length, exon structure, and domain count among different phylogenetic lineages. While eukaryotic proteins have an average size of 472 amino acid residues (aa), average protein si...
متن کاملBody shape variation in cichlid fishes of the Amphilophus citrinellus species complex
Cichlid fishes are known for their adaptive radiations with prolific speciation, but also for their substantial intraspecific polymorphism and phenotypic plasticity. The Amphilophus citrinellus species complex from lakes of Nicaragua has been studied extensively as an example of trophic and colour polymorphism and possible sympatric speciation. We use the methods of geometric morphometrics to i...
