Recent studies have revealed an unexpectedly high, cryptic diversity of fungi associated with boreal forest bryophytes. Forestry practices heavily influence the boreal forest and fundamentally transform the landscape. However, little is known about how bryophyte-associated fungal communities are affected by these large-scale habitat transformations. This study assesses to what degree bryophyte-...

Abstract For ectothermic insects, their colour and size are important determinants of body temperature: larger bodies require more heat to reach a certain temperature, dark colours absorb efficiently. These expressed using melanin, which has been intimately linked with the thermoregulatory capabilities insects. Melanin is also immune defence often used as secondary sexual character in There pot...

Acknowledgments First of all I would like to thank professor Gunther Roland for supervising my thesis and, most of all, the guidance and training during the two years in which I stayed in this group. I would also like to thank Yen-jie Lee, who gave me a lot of advice on the possible ways to progress on the study. Finally I would like to thank my advisor, professor Wit Busza, and everyone who he...

医疗护理需要更新的地图。从 护理角度分析从医生及患者中 收集到的数据（ “ 大数据” ） 并以案例报告的形式在医学文 献上发表， 这是一种有助于更 新我们的医疗护理地图的工 具。地图是一种通用沟通工 具， 不同文化和语言的人都能 理解。每当我旅行到一个新的 城市时， 我首先要做的事情之 一就是查看地图。地图通常注 重呈现数据的一种特定概念或 策略， 这些数据是从大量可能 性中甄选而出， 且地图会因时 而变。从历史地图中不仅可以 洞悉过去已知的情况， 还能提 供关于地图本身的文化线索。 新的策略及新的思维方式通常 需要新的地图。地图是某一地区或领域的符号表 征，这些表征体现出地图中各种 元素之间的相互关系。导航地图 （包括路线图、地形图及天文图 等）是当今常用的一类地图。人 们如何利用地图来定向和定位是 一种高度的文化现象，且随时间 变化。例如，中世纪欧洲的 T-O (orbis te...

Corolla length is a labile flower feature and has strong implications for pollinator success. However, the phenotypic and genetic bases of corolla elongation are not well known, largely due to a lack of good candidate genes for potential genetic exploration and functional work. We investigate both the cellular phenotypic differences in corolla length, as well as the genetic control of this trai...
