The conservation status of the tuco-tucos, genus Ctenomys (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae), in southern Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
The goal of conservation biology should be related to the preservation of species and also to the evolutionary and ecological processes that were responsible to form them and that are still acting. We review the conservation status of the species of tuco-

Regional testing of triploid hybrid clones of populus tomentosa

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Triploid Populus tomentosa, a timber tree species, has been widely planted in northern China owing to its potential high yields and high wood quality.

HYBRID ZONES AND REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1965
The interpretation of hybrid zones remains one of the most difficult of taxonomic problems, despite the striking advances in systematics of recent decades. Mayr (1963: 496) selected sexual isolation, hybrid fertility, and developmental compatibility as the only criteria that will render possible unequivocal decisions (one species or two) in the case of

Ants exhibit asymmetric hybridization in a mosaic hybrid zone [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, 2016
Abstract Research on hybridization between species provides unparalleled insights into the pre‐ and postzygotic isolating mechanisms that drive speciation. In social organisms, colony‐level incompatibilities may provide additional reproductive barriers not present in solitary species, and hybrid zones offer an ...

Insect Hybridization and Climate Change

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Contemporary global change is altering ecosystems at an unprecedented pace and scale. This critical period is a crisis for biodiversity, but the perturbations caused by global environmental change also offer new opportunities to study the evolution of ...

Ambiguous species boundaries: Hybridization and morphological variation in two closely related Rubus species along altitudinal gradients

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Although hybridization frequently occurs among plant species, hybrid zones of divergent lineages formed at species boundaries are less common and may not be apparent in later generations of hybrids with more parental‐like phenotypes, as a consequence of ...

MITOCHONDRIAL INHERITANCE PATTERNS ACROSS A COTTONWOOD HYBRID ZONE: CYTONUCLEAR DISEQUILIBRIA AND HYBRID ZONE DYNAMICS [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1991
In this study we examine the cytoplasmic inheritance patterns of an interspecific hybridizing population of Fremont and narrowleaf cottonwoods, using mitochondrial DNA. Three mitochondrial probes showing polymorphisms were used to distinguish between trees of known nuclear inheritance.

Charged Hybrid Microstructures in Transparent Thin-Film ITO Traps: Localization and Optical Control

open access: yesSurfaces, 2023
In the present study, we propose a new transparent thin-film ITO surface radio-frequency (RF) trap. Charged hybrid microstructures were localized in the developed ITO trap.

The Phenetics and Ecology of a Narrow Hybrid Zone [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1973
Hybrid zones between races and semispecies hold considerable interest for evolutionary biology. They may be examined in regard to the selection pressures that adapt each population to its geographic range (Blair, 1943). The width and age of the hybrid zone and the mechanisms which restrict gene flow across it are of particular relevance to ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...
