Isolation, Endemism, and Multiplication of Species in the Darwin Finches [PDF]

Evolution, 1963
In this paper we use multiple-regression analysis to consider the general evolutionary problem of the relative importance of the various factors governing the proliferation of related subspecies or species on member islands of an archipelago. From this quantitative analysis of the relation of isolation to endemism and sympatry' in the Darwin finches ...

Linking community structure and climate vulnerability in desert plant assemblages of southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Immune Modulatory Therapy for Severe Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in a Patient With Mitochondrial Complex I Deficiency: A Case Report

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dengue virus (DENV) poses a serious global health challenge, particularly in cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Patients with preexisting mitochondrial disorders may be at increased risk for complications due to the specific impact of DENV on mitochondrial‐dependent cellular processes and immune function.

Endemic plant species are more palatable to introduced herbivores than non-endemics [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019
Islands harbour a spectacular diversity and unique species composition. This uniqueness is mainly a result of endemic species that have evolved in situ in the absence of mammal herbivores. However, island endemism is under severe threat by introduced herbivores.

Endemic species of terrestrial isopods (Isopoda, Crustacea) in the Romanian fauna

Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai. Biologia, 2018
In the Romanian fauna 32 endemic species of terrestrial isopods were described; most of them are epigenous, few are troglobiont, troglophilous and edaphic species.

Optimization of F¯ Removal From Wastewater Utilizing Alternating Current Electrocoagulation Coupled With Sonication Using a Statistical Design Approach

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Combining electrochemical and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) has greatly mitigated the limitations of electrocoagulation (EC) in water treatment. This study examined the effectiveness of sonolysis (US)‐assisted alternating current (AC)–EC in reducing fluoride (F¯) from landfill leachate wastewater (LLW), with measurements of electrical ...

Long-Term Trends in the Structure and Dynamics of the Fish Communities in Buško Blato Reservoir

Croatian Journal of Fisheries, 2020
Buško Blato Reservoir, the third largest hydro accumulation in Europe, is situated in the south-eastern part of the karstic Livanjsko Polje Valley. This aquatic ecosystem is distinguished by a very rich ichthyofauna and the presence of four endemic fish ...

Distribution and species diversity of freshwater crabs of the family Pseudothelphusidae in Colombia (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura)

Nauplius, 2020
The study of Colombian freshwater crabs has advanced significantly, but species records are scattered across different museums and research institutions. Assuming that museum collections incorporate valuable information in estimating species diversity, a

Different shape but the same topographical complexity—The lingual gross anatomy of the Saimaa (Pusa saimensis) and Baltic ringed seals (Pusa hispida botnica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the distinctly different shapes of their tongues, the tongue gross anatomy of Saimaa ringed seal closely resembled that of Baltic ringed seal. There were no differences in the extrinsic and intrinsic tongue muscles or their associated vascularization and innervation between Saimaa and Baltic ringed seals.

Mapping Pure Mangrove Patches in Small Corridors and Sandbanks Using Airborne Hyperspectral Imagery

Remote Sensing, 2019
Taijiang National Park (TNP) of Taiwan is the northernmost geographical position of mangrove habitats in the Northern Hemisphere. Instead of occupying a vast region with a single species, the mangroves in TNP are usually mingled with other plants in a ...
