A prediction in phylogeographic studies is that patterns of lineage diversity and timing will be similar within the same landscape under the assumption that these lineages have responded to past environmental changes in comparable ways. Eight invertebrate taxa from four different orders were included in this study of mainland New Zealand and Chatham Islands lineages to explore outcomes of islan...

Metschnikowia isolates from ponds on Chatham Island, New Zealand, previously erroneously reported as M. zobellii, are described herein as M. bicuspidata var. chathamia var. n.

In September, October, and November 2014, adult Mansonia titillans were collected at 4 separate sites near Savannah in Chatham County, Georgia, and 1 site in Muscogee County, GA, during routine mosquito surveillance. Although previously recorded from Beaufort County, SC, and several inland southern Georgia counties, recent reports of this species from coastal Georgia or South Carolina are lacki...

man Island. At the entrance to the bay is a small island (Ross), 2^ miles up the bay is a second island (Chatham), and 2 miles beyond Chatham i* a third island (Viper). These three small islands, with numerous stations along the north and south shores of the bay, form the nucleus of the Settlement, which is year by year widening its area from these starting points and spreading inland into Sout...

glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) in humans is in x-linked disorder, housekeeping enzyme and vital for the survival of every cell. it catalyses the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phospho gluconat in the first committed step of the pentose phosphate pathway, which provides cells with pentoses and reducing power in the form of nadph. nadph is required to protect the cells against ox...

BACKGROUND Glucose-6-Phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a key enzyme of the pentose monophosphate pathway, and its deficiency is the most common inherited enzymopathy worldwide. G6PD deficiency is common among Iraqis, including those of the Kurdish ethnic group, however no study of significance has ever addressed the molecular basis of this disorder in this population. The aim of this study is t...
