the experiment was aimed to study the chemical constituents of essential oils from two pimpinella l. species including p. deverroides - boiss, and p. tragium vill. growing wild in iran. to do this, the essential oil of fruits of two p. tragium populations (sefidkhani and hesar, markazi province, iran) and one population of p. deverroides (kerend, kermanshah province) were extracted by a cleveng...

Kinship analysis using genetic data is important for many biological applications, including many in conservation biology. Wide availability of microsatellites has boosted studies in wild populations that rely on the knowledge of kinship, particularly sibling relationships (sibship). While there exist many methods for reconstructing sibling relationships, almost none account for errors and muta...

The ability of animals to gather information about their social and physical environment is essential for their ecological function. Odour cues are an important component of this information gathering across taxa. Recent laboratory studies have revealed the importance of flexible chemical cues in facilitating social recognition of fishes. These cues are known to be mediated by recent habitat ex...

Reconstruction of sibling relationships from genetic data is an important component of many biological applications. In particular, the growing application of molecular markers (microsatellites) to study wild populations of plant and animals has created the need for new computational methods of establishing pedigree relationships, such as sibgroups, among individuals in these populations. Most ...
