Epigenomic Landscapes Reflect Neuronal Diversity
Epigenomic profiling of complex tissues obscures regulatory elements that distinguish one cell type from another. In this issue of Neuron, Mo et al. (2015) apply cell-type-specific profiling to mouse neuronal subtypes and discover an unprecedented level of neuronal diversity.
متن کاملDiversity Maintenance on Neutral Landscapes: An Argument for Recombination
It has been demonstrated that several standard evolutionary computation test problems can be solved by a simple hill climbing search algorithm – often more efficiently than by a population based evolutionary algorithm. There remain some classes of problems, however, for which maintaining a genetically diverse population is essential in order to discover the optimal solution. In biological popul...
متن کاملDeforestation Impacts on Bat Functional Diversity in Tropical Landscapes
Functional diversity is the variability in the functional roles carried out by species within ecosystems. Changes in the environment can affect this component of biodiversity and can, in turn, affect different processes, including some ecosystem services. This study aimed to determine the effect of forest loss on species richness, abundance and functional diversity of Neotropical bats. To this ...
متن کاملAnthropic Constraints on Fermion Masses *
It is conceivable that some of the properties of the physical world might not be uniquely determined by an underlying dynamical principle, but might instead reflect the requirement that those properties be compatible with the existence of intelligent observers like us, capable of studying them. In modern theoretical physics, this controversial idea is called the “anthropic principle” [1]. Broad...
متن کاملPlant diversity accurately predicts insect diversity in two tropical landscapes.
Plant diversity surely determines arthropod diversity, but only moderate correlations between arthropod and plant species richness had been observed until Basset et al. (Science, 338, 2012 and 1481) finally undertook an unprecedentedly comprehensive sampling of a tropical forest and demonstrated that plant species richness could indeed accurately predict arthropod species richness. We now requi...
