Fig wasps (Agaonidae: Hymenoptera) are seed predators and their interactions with Ficus species (Moraceae) range from mutualism to parasitism. Recently considerable attention has been paid to conflicts of interest between the mutualists and how they are resolved in monoecious fig species. However, despite the fact that different conflicts can arise, little is known about the factors that influe...

In the published article, images for Actin in Figs. 4a, 5a, 6a, and 6c were incorrectly presented.

Primates are unique among eutherian mammals for possessing three types of retinal cone. Curiously, catarrhines, platyrrhines, and strepsirhines share this anatomy to different extents, and no hypothesis has hitherto accounted for this variability. Here we propose that the historical biogeography of figs and arborescent palms accounts for the global variation in primate color vision. Specificall...

Fluorescence image-guided surgery (FIGS) is an emerging technique in oncology, neurology, and cardiology. To adapt intraoperative imaging for various surgical applications, increasingly flexible and compact FIGS instruments are necessary. We present a compact, portable FIGS system and demonstrate its use in cardiovascular mapping in a preclinical model of myocardial ischemia. Our system uses fi...

The present paper reports evidence of an immunological relationship between one variety or type of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisi~e and the Type II variety of Diplococcus pn,umoni~e (Pneumococcus). The immunological interrelationships among the different yeasts have never been well established, but it is certain that all of the yeasts included by the species term Saccharomyces cerevisi~ are n...

A RECENT REVIEW (Bronstein 1992) of the interaction between figs (Ficus species, Moraceae) and their pollinators (Agaonidae: Hymenoptera) evaluated some potential conflicts of interest hat might constrain the evolution of the mutualism. One apparent conflict ensues when female wasps pollinate flowers while depositing their eggs in a fraction of fig ovaries. Some developing seeds are totally con...

Three vertical axes in Fig. 4 and Figs. S8 S9 the Electronic Supplementary Material (ESM) were unfortunately mislabeled.

Traditional newborn dried blood spot screening (NDBS) has expanded in recent years to include upwards of 50 different conditions in many states. Once the screening tests are complete, the residual blood specimens (RBSs) that remain are most often available for quality assurance and public health research. The articles by Botkin et al1 and Bombard et al2 contained in this issue of Pediatrics inv...
