Assessment of Prunus Rootstock Accessions Using Chloroplast and Nuclear Microsatellites
A rootstock collection of Prunus species and hybrids is maintained at the U.S. Department of Agriculture stone fruit breeding program at Byron, GA. We genotyped 66 Prunus rootstock accessions and clones using chloroplast and nuclear microsatellites in ...

Parsimonious Inference of Hybridization in the Presence of Incomplete Lineage Sorting [PDF]
Hybridization plays an important evolutionary role in several groups of organisms. A phylogenetic approach to detect hybridization entails sequencing multiple loci across the genomes of a group of species of interest, reconstructing their gene trees, and taking their differences as indicators of hybridization. However, methods that follow this approach

Hybrids of amphibian chytrid show high virulence in native hosts
Hybridization of parasites can generate new genotypes with high virulence. The fungal amphibian parasite Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) hybridizes in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, a biodiversity hotspot where amphibian declines have been linked to Bd ...

Genetic identification, morphology and distribution of Natrix helvetica subspecies in southern and western Switzerland (Reptilia, Squamata, Serpentes) [PDF]
Most of Switzerland is inhabited by the nominotypical subspecies of the barred grass snake (Natrix helvetica helvetica), which is characterized by mitochondrial DNA lineage E. Only in the northeast of the country, the common grass snake (N.

Hybrid cells differentiate to hepatic lineage cells and repair oxidative damage [PDF]
AbstractHybrid cells derived from stem cells play an important role in organogenesis, tissue regeneration and cancer formation. However, the fate of hybrid cells and their range of function are poorly understood. Fusing stem cells and somatic cells induces somatic cell reprogramming, and the resulting hybrid cells are embryonic stem cell-like cells ...

Distant hybridization is a significant method for creating new hybrid lineages and potentially hybrid species. In the past ten years, we have established a hybrid lineage population, BTF1-BTF6 (six generations), via crosses between Megalobrama ...

HYBRID SPECIATION AND INDEPENDENT EVOLUTION IN LINEAGES OF ALPINE BUTTERFLIES [PDF]
The power of hybridization between species to generate variation and fuel adaptation is poorly understood despite long-standing interest. There is, however, increasing evidence that hybridization often generates biodiversity, including via hybrid speciation.

Unveiling current Guanaco distribution in chile based upon niche structure of phylogeographic lineages: Andean puna to subpolar forests. [PDF]
Niche description and differentiation at broad geographic scales have been recent major topics in ecology and evolution. Describing the environmental niche structure of sister taxa with known evolutionary trajectories stands out as a useful exercise in ...

Evidence of Natural Hybridization in Brazilian Wild Lineages ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
The natural biology of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the best known unicellular model eukaryote, remains poorly documented and understood although recent progress has started to change this situation. Studies carried out recently in the Northern Hemisphere revealed the existence of wild populations associated with oak trees in North America, Asia, and in ...
