Mimulus peregrinus (Phrymaceae): A new British allopolyploid species
Polyploidization plays an important role in species formation as chromosome doubling results in strong reproductive isolation between derivative and parental taxa. In this note I describe a new species, Mimulus peregrinus (Phrymaceae), which represents the first recorded instance of a new British polyploid species of Mimulus (2n = 6x = 92) that has arisen since the introduction of this genus in...
متن کاملJoining forces for children's health.
From airborne particulatesto pesticide-laden fruit, children probably encounter more pollutants than adults. Because their bodies are rapidly developing, children may react more strongly to these toxins, too. The NIEHS hopes to learn more about how several hazardous agents specifically affect kids. Together, the NIEHS and the EPA are spending $10 million to establish up to six Centers for Child...
متن کاملNon-Mendelian Phenomena in Allopolyploid Genome Evolution
Perhaps all flowering plants have experienced one or more episodes of polyploidization at some time in their evolutionary history. Recent evidence indicates that this genome doubling may be accompanied by a variety of nonMendelian phenomena, some of which operate during hybridization and polyploid formation while others manifest more gradually on an evolutionary timescale. Here we review these ...
متن کاملSocial Pharmacy and Clinical Pharmacy—Joining Forces
This commentary seeks to define the areas of social pharmacy and clinical pharmacy to uncover what they have in common and what still sets them apart. Common threats and challenges of the two areas are reviewed in order to understand the forces in play. Forces that still keep clinical and social pharmacy apart are university structures, research traditions, and the management of pharmacy servic...
متن کاملThe asexual genome of Drosophila
The rate of recombination affects the mode of molecular evolution. In high-recombining sequence, the targets of selection are individual genetic loci; under low recombination, selection collectively acts on large, genetically linked genomic segments. Selection under linkage can induce clonal interference, a specific mode of evolution by competition of genetic clades within a population. This mo...
