Interplay between fecundity, sexual and growth selection on the spring phenology of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.).

Peer Community Journal
Background: Plant phenological traits such as the timing of budburst or flowering can evolve on ecological timescales through response to fecundity and viability selection.

Assortative mating and differential male mating success in an ash hybrid zone population

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006
Background The structure and evolution of hybrid zones depend mainly on the relative importance of dispersal and local adaptation, and on the strength of assortative mating.

Genetic evidence for assortative mating on alcohol consumption in the UK Biobank

Nature Communications, 2019
Alcohol use is correlated within spouse-pairs, but it is difficult to disentangle effects of alcohol consumption on mate-selection from social factors or the shared spousal environment. We hypothesised that genetic variants related to alcohol consumption

Synthesis and Biological Profile of Substituted Pyrrolidinyl Carboxamides for Acyl‐ACP Thioesterase Inhibition

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
The work outlined herein covers a series of novel herbicidal lead structures that possess a pyrrolidinyl pyrazole carboxamide scaffold as a key structural feature, carrying further substituted benzyl side chains. Based on scaffold hopping approaches from known fungicidal and herbicidal compounds and utilizing an optimized synthetic approach, a broader ...

Inter-ethnic Marriage and Partner Satisfaction [PDF]

This paper investigates immigrant assortative mating and relationship satisfaction. Using a modified random effects ordered probit model, the paper demonstrates that spouses of mixed couples are significantly less satisfied with their partner than native-

Assortative mating and gene flow generate clinal phenological variation in trees

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background On-going climate change is shifting the timing of bud burst (TBB) of broad leaf and conifer trees in temperate areas, raising concerns about the abilities of natural populations to respond to these shifts.

Assortative mating by population of origin in a mechanistic model of admixture

bioRxiv, 2019
Populations whose mating pairs have levels of similarity in phenotypes or genotypes that differ systematically from the level expected under random mating are described as experiencing assortative mating.

Effect of Using Nisin and Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid on the Bacterial Load, Deterioration Criteria, and Sensory Attributes of Chilled Chicken Cuts

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Evaluation of the efficacy of selected dipping solutions on fresh chicken meat shelf life. Samples treated with nisin and EDTA combinations, followed by chilled storage. The effectiveness of these interventions was assessed through bacteriological, sensory, and physicochemical (pH) deterioration criteria.
