The core–periphery hypothesis (CPH) predicts that genetic diversity is greatest at the centre and lowest at the edges of a species' distribution because genetic diversity is a function of a species' abundance, which is also expected to be greatest at the centre and lowest at the edges of the distribution. Variants of the CPH include the ‘Ramped North' (

Molecular phylogeny of brachiopods and phoronids based on nuclear-encoded small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences [PDF]
Brachiopod and phoronid phylogeny is inferred from SSU rDNA sequences of 28 articulate and nine inarticulate brachiopods, three phoronids, two ectoprocts and various outgroups, using gene trees reconstructed by weighted parsimony, distance and maximum ...

Abstract The identification of organisms in environmental samples using metabarcoding relies on factors such as taxonomic assignment methods, genetic markers, reference databases and confidence thresholds for taxonomic assignment. Because lineages evolve at different rates, a global threshold (e.g.

The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach
Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce

Molecular paleobiological insights into the origin of the Brachiopoda
Most studies of brachiopod evolution have been based on their extensive fossil record, but molecular techniques, due to their independence from the rock record, can offer new insights into the evolution of a clade.

PHOTOGRAPHY: A CONVENIENT TECHNIQUE FOR RECORDING SERIAL TRANSVERSE SECTIONS OF BRACHIOPODS
A review of the bibliography coupled with the Authors' personal experience shows that drawing, as a technique for recording serial transverse sections of Brachiopods is inadequate and inaccurate.

Abstract The aquaculture of Argopecten purpuratus (Peruvian scallop) is a profitable activity with positive impacts on the local economy. However, the development of biofouling on the culture lantern nets generates negative environmental impacts that affect its sustainability.

The Evolution of Brachiopoda [PDF]
Brachiopods are (perhaps all too) familiar to any geology student who has taken an invertebrate paleontology course; they may well be less familiar to biology students. Even though brachiopods are among the most significant components of the marine fossil record by virtue of their considerable diversity, abundance, and long evolutionary history, fewer ...

Abstract The Australian Cambrian stratigraphic record is one of the most complete for any continent. However, there is a general division, with older Cambrian rocks in South Australia (predominantly Terreneuvian, Stage 2 to Miaolingian, Wuliuan) and younger rocks in northern Australia (mostly latest Series 2, Stage 4 and younger), with minimal ...
