Local adaptation of two cryptic species, Lasthenia californica and Lasthenia gracilis, to distinct regions within a serpentine outcrop [PDF]

, 2013
Intraspecific variation providing tolerance to specific edaphic conditions may contribute to population differentiation, speciation, and species coexistence.

Genomic and phenotypic analysis of Vavilov's historic landraces reveals the impact of environment and genomic islands of agronomic traits. [PDF]

, 2017
The Vavilov Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR), in St. Petersburg, Russia, houses a unique genebank, with historical collections of landraces.

Alternative adaptations, speciation, and phylogeny (A Review) [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1986
Alternative adaptations—different adaptive phenotypes maintained in the same life stage and the same population but not necessarily simultaneously expressed in the same individual—represent contrasting character sets produced by the same genome, in effect allowing a single species to occupy more than one sympatric niche.

Physical Origin of Temperature Induced Activation Energy Switching in Electrically Conductive Cement

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The temperature‐induced Arrhenius activation energy switching phenomenon of electrical conduction in electrically conductive cement originates from structural degradation within the biphasic ionic‐electronic conduction architecture and shows percolation‐governed characteristics: pore network opening dominates the low‐percolation regime with downward ...

Hydrogels Under Superchaotropic Control: Polyoxometalate Stabilization and pH‐Responsive Crosslinking in Cellulose Ether Solutions

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Superchaotropic binding of Keggin polyoxometalates (POMs) to non‐ionic biopolymers like cellulose ethers (CEs) stabilizes otherwise hydrolytically unstable POMs in aqueous solution and allows conversion of pH‐nonresponsive polymers into pH‐responsive soft materials. The pH‐driven conversion from plenary to lacunary POMs switches superchaotropic binding

The phylogenetic effective sample size and jumps

, 2018
The phylogenetic effective sample size is a parameter that has as its goal the quantification of the amount of independent signal in a phylogenetically correlated sample. It was studied for Brownian motion and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck models of trait evolution.

Island time and the interplay between ecology and evolution in species diversification. [PDF]

, 2015
Research on the dynamics of biodiversity has progressed tremendously over recent years, although in two separate directions - ecological, to determine change over space at a given time, and evolutionary, to understand change over time.

3D Chromatin Architecture Provides Insights Into Leaf Trait Variation Among Pear Species

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three‐dimensional (3D) chromatin architecture plays a fundamental role in eukaryotic gene regulations, its functional significance in perennial fruit trees remains poorly characterized despite extensive applications in crop genomics. Here, we developed high‐resolution (∼5 kb) Hi‐C maps of Pyrus and compared 3D genomic architecture of three ...

Synchrotron XRF Imaging Reveals Manganese Accumulation in the Golgi and Post‐Synapses of Neurons and Enhanced Uptake in Astrocytes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Despite widespread exposure, the mechanisms of manganese neurotoxicity remain poorly understood. Using correlative cryogenic fluorescence and synchrotron X‐ray fluorescence imaging techniques, we show that the Golgi apparatus is the primary accumulation site for manganese in both neurons and astrocytes, and that manganese targets the neuronal ...

Speciation and adaptation of senecio

, 2020
Speciation was thought to be initiated by geographical isolation only. However, more and more research has shown that there are other drivers of speciation, such as divergent selection, and that speciation could happen in the face of gene flow with mechanisms to maintain reproductive isolation.
