Signatures of Directional and Balancing Selection in the Silverside Basilichthys microlepidotus (Teleostei: Atherinopsidae) Inhabiting a Polluted RiverAtherinopsidae) Inhabiting a Polluted River
(Springer, 2015)
Currently environmental pollution is one of the
most important factors affecting natural populations and
acting as a strong selective pressure. Therefore, identifying
genes and their alleles implied in population ...
Pollinator-mediated selection on the nectar guide phenotype in the Andean monkey flower, Mimulus luteus
(Ecological Society of America, 2003)
Mimulus luteus (Scrophulariaceae) is a perennial herb occurring in the South
American Andes that shows a wide variation in the size and shape of a red spot on the
lower lobe of the yellow flower. We describe the preference ...
Quantization of the gravitational constant in odd dimensions
(1995)
It is pointed out that the action recently proposed by Bañados, Teitelboim, and Zanelli for the study of black holes in odd dimensions higher (and lower) than four provides a natural quantization for the gravitational ...
Is natural selection promoting sexual dimorphism in the Green-backed Firecrown Hummingbird (Sephanoides Sephaniodes)?
(2009)
In many hummingbird species there is an opposite pattern of sexual dimorphism in bill length and other morphometric measures of body size. These differences seem to be closely related with differences in foraging ecology ...
Microhabitat selection in the sand recluse spider (Sicarius thomisoides): the effect of rock size and temperature
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
In spiders, temperature is considered an important environmental variable for microhabitat selection. In this study, we evaluated the effect of temperature and rock size on the presence of the sand recluse spider Sicarius ...
Do pollinators simultaneously select for inflorescence size and amount of floral scents? An experimental assessment on Escallonia myrtoidea
(BLACKWELL, 2006-11)
Correlation among phenotypic traits may be explained by correlational selection, the simultaneous selection of more than one trait, or by genetic and/or developmental factors. In Escallonia myrtoidea, a tree with scented ...
Evidence of recent signatures of selection during domestication in an Atlantic salmon population
(Elsevier, 2016-04)
Selective breeding practices in Atlantic salmon aquaculture have been carried out intensively since the 1970s. Along with the phenotypic improvement of fish, we expect to observe genomic regions showing evidence of selection ...
Self-selection in the market of teachers
(Routledge, 2015)
Public school teachers are usually paid according to centralized earning schedules, in which their income depends mainly on experience. By contrast, in private schools, there is high wage dispersion, and salaries correspond ...
A new model for automated pushback selection
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2020)
The design of pushbacks is essential to long-term open pit mine scheduling because it partitions the pit space into individual units, controlling ore and waste production. In this paper, a new model is proposed for the ...
Local Selective Realism: shifting from Classical to Quantum Electrodynamics
(Springer, 2020)
This article elaborates local selective realism in view of the shifting from classical to quantum electrodynamics. After some introductory remarks, we critically address what we call global selective realism, hence setting ...
