Major R1b Founder Effect in West Europe R1b-M412 appears to be the most common Y-chromosome haplo- group in Western Europe (470%), while being virtually absent in the Near East, the Caucasus and West Asia (Figure 1f). Recent founder effects could explain why the M412-L11 assemblage ...
With evidence from genetic, morphometric, song, and plumage data, we show that two songbird lineages endemic to the Western Ghats montane forest each have diversified into multiple distinct species. Historically labeled as single species of widespread Asian genera, these two lineages are highly diverge...
Full size table According to the clay map (Fig.4b), most parts of Regions 1 and 2 have clay soils. These two regions have about 30% more clay than other regions. This highlights the positive effects of clay soil on oak tree growth as these two regions have lower decline rates than oth...
Two important points are raised here. The first is the pain of being labeled as lacking the ‘right,’ that is, Western knowledge, and thus having one’s education and historic dimension devalued and made invisible. The second is a clearly expressed anger about being colonized and forced into...
In Fig. 4B, the first two successive crosslines are displayed next to each other and the main structural features are marked and labeled. It is divided into several segments. The horizon marked with green color represents the top of basalt trap i.e. K/T boundary. Above the basalt top, ...
The Parthian defeat of the Romans at Carrhae in 53 BC foretells the ultimate frontiers and balance of power in Western Asia, where a rough status quo would persist until the arrival of the Arabs, more than 600 years later. Meanwhile, although the literature does not seem as brilliant as...
There is one documented example of hybridization followed by apomixis in the history of an invasive Rubus species: after introduc- tion to Madagascar from Southeast Asia, Rubus alceifolius hybridized with the native R. roridus to produce apomictic lineages that then invaded other Indian Ocean ...
Figure 1.Map of Kyrgyzstan showing sites at which theSimulium ornatumgroup was collected, June–July 2015. Regions are labeled, details corresponding to site numbers are inTable 1, and type localities of three nominal species of the group are indicated with a star. ...
The evidence of RAGE-mediated trapping of CML-AGE has been illustrated by the inability of the adipose tissue in mice lacking RAGE on a LeptrDb−/− background to incorporate injected fluorescently labeled CML compared with RAGE-expressing mice [81]. In addition, there are other AGEs ...
