The role of genetic polymorphisms in the sulfation of pregnenolone by human cytosolic sulfotransferase SULT2B1a [PDF]
Pregnenolone is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of many steroid hormones and neuroprotective steroids. Sulfotransferase family cytosolic 2B member 1 (SULT2B1a) has been reported to be highly selective to sulfate pregnenolone.

Ameletus Mayflies (Ephemeroptera: Ameletidae) of the Eastern Nearctic [PDF]
Fourteen Ameletus species are recognized in the eastern Nearctic (south of the Artic zone), including six described as new. Keys to adult males and full-grown larvae are provided. Taxonomic decisions were based on morphologic and genetic evidence.

ALLOZYME DIVERGENCE WITHIN THE BOVIDAE [PDF]
We describe a phylogeny of the Bovidae based on 40 allozyme loci in 27 species, representing 10 of the 14 bovid tribes described by Vrba (1985). Giraffe represented a related family (Giraffidae). A phenogram was derived using the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA), based on Nei's genetic distances (ND) between species.

GENETIC BACKGROUND AND THE FITNESS OF ALLOZYMES [PDF]
ABSTRACT Experimental perturbations of gene frequency at the esterase-5 locus in Drosophila pseudoobscura were carried out in a series of population cages started with differing numbers of founder chromosomes. Cages founded with few chromosomes showed changes in gene frequency at the allozyme locus. Such changes were less marked in cages

REPLY TO “ALLOZYMES AND SONG DIALECTS: A REASSESSMENT” [PDF]
Our research centers on birdsong dialects, which are culturally transmitted (learned) vocal traditions. We evaluate the influence dialects have on the population biology of the White-crowned Sparrow, Zonotrichia leucophrys. Zink and Barrowclough (1984), in this issue, criticized our recent study (Baker et al., 1982b). Our null hypothesis (Baker et al.,

Genesis, Evolution, and Genetic Diversity of the Hexaploid, Narrow Endemic Centaurea tentudaica
Within the genus Centaurea L., polyploidy is very common, and it is believed that, as to all angiosperms, it was key in the history of its diversification and evolution. Centaurea tentudaica is a hexaploid from subsect. Chamaecyanus of unknown origin. In

Temporal isolation between two strongly differentiated stocks of the Greenland halibut ( Reinhardtius hippoglossoides Walbaum, 1792) from the Western Barents Sea [PDF]
Identification of discrete stocks of Greenland halibut is an important aspect of proper fisheries exploitation. Available literature data indicated a lack of significant inter‑area differences between Greenland halibut populations from the Northeast ...
