PLoS ONE, 2015 The integration of ecological and evolutionary data is highly valuable for conservation planning. However, it has been rarely used in the marine realm, where the adequate design of marine protected areas (MPAs) is urgently needed.

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2016 Genetic diversity is a crucial component for plant survivability and fitness in terms of adaptation, genetic stability and variability. In this study, a total of 160 genotypes were investigated using 12 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers to ...

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background Patterns of spatial variation in discrete phenotypic traits can be used to draw inferences about the adaptive significance of traits and evolutionary processes, especially when compared to patterns of neutral genetic variation.

Environment, Equivalence Inferences, and the Twins: A Reply to Sober
Philosophy, Theory, and Practice in Biology, 2021 Elliott Sober (2020) can be understood as advancing two distinct arguments that similarly conclude that evolutionary theory does not say that Scriven’s (1959) infamous twins have the same fitness, despite the twins’ identical genotypes and phenotypes ...

Relationship between microspatial population genetic structure and habitat heterogeneity in Pomatias elegans (O.F. Müller 1774) (Caenogastropoda, Pomatiasidae) [PDF]
, 2006 In the present study the population genetic structure of the terrestrial snail Pomatias elegans was related to habitat structure on a microspatial scale.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Adolescents with high‐risk cancer face complex developmental, psychosocial, and ethical challenges that extend beyond disease‐directed treatment. Although international recommendations exist for communication, psychosocial care, pediatric palliative care, survivorship, and shared decision‐making, these have largely evolved within ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Loneliness is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes and remains understudied in children and adolescents undergoing cancer therapy. Pediatric oncology patients may be at increased risk due to medical isolation and disruption of social networks.

Stochastic Evolutionary Dynamics: Drift vs. Draft [PDF]
, 2004 In a small handful of papers in theoretical population genetics, John Gillespie argues that a new stochastic process he calls "genetic draft" is evolutionarily more significant than genetic drift. This case study of chance in evolution explores Gillespie'

High genetic diversity in the remnant island population of hihi and the genetic consequences of re-introduction [PDF]
, 2010 The maintenance of genetic diversity is thought to be fundamental for the conservation of threatened species. It is therefore important to understand how genetic diversity is affected by the re-introduction of threatened species.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...
