Biased mating due to female preferences towards certain traits in males is a major mechanism driving sexual selection, and may constitute an important evolutionary force in organisms with sexual reproduction. In birds, although the role of male ornamentation, plumage coloration, genetic dissimilarity, an...
[1] Organisms are classified by taxonomy into groups such as multicellular animals, plants, and fungi; or unicellular microorganisms such as protists, bacteria, and archaea.[2] All types of organisms are capable of reproduction, growth and development, maintenance, and some degree of response to...
9,10,11,12. Such conditions may be unsuitable for large predators or they could lead to important behavioural traits being ruled out21. Data at the natural scale is sparse and fragmented
The Characterization of Fecal Streptococci: An Attempt to Differentiate between Animal and Human Sources of ContaminationSummary Fecal streptococci were isolated from human and animal feces and frozen meat and poultry pies. Organisms from these sources could be classified in three major groups: ...
Locus specific PCR at 4 of these loci segregated MAP into two major groups, which could be differentiated from ovine-pigmented strains of MAP and the MAP vaccine strain 316F. The same PCR differentiated MAA into five MIRU profiles. PCR at either MIRU locus 1 or MIRU locus 4 distinguished ...
a set of fifteen SSRs has been recognized as the international standard for genotyping cacao21. In 2008, Motamayoret al. used these markers to classify Amazonian cacao germplasm (living genetic resources) more accurately into 10 major genetic clusters, namelyAmelonado, Contamana, Criollo, Curaray...
The following groups were prospectively recruited: Group 1: Immunocompromised patients with pneumonia between June 2007–January 2010. We hired a full-time clinician that went every day to the emergency room to identify all people who were admitted to the two hospitals with a suspicion of pneumonia...
