Micromorpho‐anatomical studies on the leaves and woods of Turkish Daphne (Thymelaeaceae) taxa

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The identification of Daphne taxa is difficult because of the lack of available morphological characteristics. Here, we aimed to describe leaf and wood micromorpho‐anatomical characteristics of native Turkish Daphne taxa (D. glomerata, D. gnidioides, D. mezereum, D. mucronata, D. oleoides subsp. kurdica, D. pontica and D.

GENETIC DIVERSITY IN SODIUM AZIDE INDUCED WHEAT MUTANTS STUDIED BY SSR MARKERS

Trakya University Journal of Natural Sciences, 2018
Mutations induced artificially way are one of the tools used to increase genetic variation in populations where genetic variation has been shrinking especially due to various reasons one of which is domestication.

High β‐diversity in fig wasp communities driven by species turnover in widely distributed Neotropical fig trees

Oikos, EarlyView.
Wasp communities associated with fig trees, Ficus spp., are a model system to investigate how local and regional processes shape biodiversity across large geographical ranges. We investigated the β‐diversity of fig wasp assemblages associated with three widely distributed Neotropical fig species – F. citrifolia, F. obtusifolia and F. pertusa – using 27

Genetic relatedness in different Medicago sativa lines based on polymorphism of mitochondrial DNA specific sequences

Biologia Plantarum, 2010
Two synthetic populations (Syn-5 and Syn-7), four inbred lines and four landraces of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) were studied for genetic relatedness. These forms were characterized by different amount of seeds set and green mass yield. Two primer pairs

Screening natural oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) populations using SSR markers [PDF]

, 2009
The assessment of genetic diversity and genetic structure of natural oil palm populations is carried out mostly for crop improvement purpose. A set of 16 microsatellite markers was used to genotype 494 palms from 49 populations belonging to ten African ...

Anisotropic community turn‐over at habitat edges informs on assembly drivers: simulation and empirical test on soil macrofauna

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity dynamics in heterogeneous landscapes is the result of a complex interplay between movement processes of organisms within and between habitat patches, and niche filtering processes due to spatially varying environmental conditions. Disentangling the relative influences of these different processes on community assembly and dynamics is a ...

Molecular diversity of Sargassum populations from Persian Gulf Sea coasts [PDF]

Journal of Epigenetics
Sargassum is a brown alga in the coasts of warm waters of the world. In Iran this alga found in the coasts of Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. A little information is available from molecular variation of this genus because the genetic variability of this alga.

Genetic diversity and population structure of Chinese natural bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] germplasm based on SRAP markers. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.], an important turfgrass used in public parks, home lawns, golf courses and sports fields, is widely distributed in China. In the present study, sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers were used to

Climate stability drives multidimensional nestedness of amphibian assemblages in a Chinese sky island system

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

Community‐level effects of Müllerian mimicry on pollinator diversity and functioning

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Müllerian mimicry, a mutualistic interaction in which harmful species evolve similar warning signals, is often accompanied by niche divergence among mimetic species. While these aspects have traditionally been studied in an evolutionary context, their community‐level ...
