Genome duplication in plants is thought to be a route speciation due cytotype incompatibility. However, reduce cross-pollination between cytotypes animal-pollinated species, distinctive floral phenotypes, which would allow pollinator-mediated assortative mating flowers, are also expected. Chamerion angustifolium Holarctic species that forms hybrid zone diploid and tetraploid populations the Nor...

After harvesting, sites in the Interior Cedar–Hemlock Dry Warm subzone (ICHdw) frequently regenerate to rich, brush-dominated communities that can inhibit successful conifer establishment. Species common to these post-harvested areas include: paper birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh.), Douglas maple (Acer glabrum Torr. var. douglasii [Hook.] Dipp.), redstem ceanothus (Ceanothus sanguineus Pursh), b...

The aim of the present study was to determine whether the consumption of wild blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium), a concentrated source of non-nutritive antioxidant phytochemicals, would enhance postprandial serum antioxidant status in healthy human subjects. A single-blinded crossover study was performed in a group of eight middle-aged male subjects (38-54 years). Subjects consumed a high-f...
