A central assumption in evolutionary biology is that females of sexually dimorphic species suffer costs when bearing male secondary sexual traits, such as ornamentation. Nevertheless, it is common in nature to observe females bearing rudimentary versions of male ornaments (e.g. 'bearded ladies'), as ornaments can be under similar genetic control in both sexes. Here, we provide evidence that mas...

Objective(s):EMAP-like Protein 5 (EML5) is a new echinoderm microtubule-associated protein that is expressed in the central nervous system. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression profile of EML5 in the anterior temporal neocortex of patients presenting with intractable epilepsy (IE). Materials and Methods:Western blot assays were performed to determine EML5 expression in 36 su...

Pollen aperture type, shape, size, polar axis length, equatorial P/E ratio, colpus thickness of the sexine and nexine, S/N ornamentation lumen shape width were determined by using light scanning electron microscope. A multivariate analysis was carried out Gover’s general similarity coefficient UPGMA based on 3 qualitative 8 quantitative pollen characters for 43 taxa belonging to 30 genera 19 tr...
