A new lineage of braconid wasps in Burmese Cenomanian amber (Hymenoptera, Braconidae)
(Pensoft Publishers, 2018-01-17)A new braconid wasp from the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) amber of the Hukawng Valley in Kachin State, Myanmar is described and figured from a unique female. Seneciobracon novalatus Engel & Huang, gen. et sp. n., is placed ... -
Transmission dynamics for Methicilin-resistant Staphalococous areus with injection drug user
(BioMed Central, 2018-02-07)BACKGROUND: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterial pathogen resistance to antibiotics including methicillin. The resistance first emerged in 1960 in a healthcare setting only after two years of ... -
Datasets and manual for: SAMPLE DATA AND TRAINING MODULES FOR CLEANING BIODIVERSITY INFORMATION
(2018-07-01)Data to accompany paper submitted to Biodiversity Informatics -
Mating and aggregative behaviors among basal hexapods in the Early Cretaceous
(Public Library of Science, 2018-02-21)Among the many challenges in paleobiology is the inference and reconstruction of behaviors that rarely, if ever, leave a physical trace on the environment that is suitable for fossilization. Of particular significance are ... -
Livestock Bedding Effects on Two Species of Parasitoid Wasps of Filth Flies
(Oxford University Press, 2014-01-01)Choice of livestock bedding has been shown to affect density of filth fly maggots. Here, laboratory experiments indicate that bedding type can also affect natural enemies of the flies, specifically the parasitoid wasps ... -
Hypolobocera guayaquilensis (Decapoda: Pseudothelphusidae): A New Crab Intermediate Host of Paragonimus mexicanus in Manabí Province, Ecuador
(Korean Society of Parasitology, 2018-04)To determine that Paragonimus sp. is actively transmitted in a tropical area of the Pacific region of Ecuador where human cases of pulmonary paragonimiasis have recently been documented, a total of 75 freshwater crabs were ... -
Rapid Evolution caused by pollinator loss in mimulus guttatus
(Wiley, 2011-09)Anthropogenic perturbations including habitat loss and emerging disease are changing pollinator communities and generating novel selection pressures on plant populations. Disruption of plant–pollinator relationships is ... -
Centromere-associated meiotic drive and female fitness variation in Mimulus
(Wiley, 2015-03)Female meiotic drive, in which chromosomal variants preferentially segregate to the egg pole during asymmetric female meiosis, is a theoretically pervasive but still mysterious form of selfish evolution. Like other selfish ... -
Contribution of chromosomal polymorphisms to the G-matrix of Mimulus guttatus
(Wiley, 2009-07-17)Evolution of genetic (co)variances (the G-matrix) fundamentally influences multitrait divergence. Here, we isolated the contribution of two chromosomal quantitative trait loci (QTLs), a meiotic drive locus and a polymorphic ... -
Connecting QTLS to the G-Matrix of Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics
(Wiley, 2009-04)Evolutionary quantitative genetics has recently advanced in two distinct streams. Many biologists address evolutionary questions by estimating phenotypic selection and genetic (co)variances (G matrices). Simultaneously, ... -
A new species of Tanyuromys Pine, Timm, and Weksler, 2012 (Rodentia: Cricetidae: Oryzomyini), with comments on relationships within the Oryzomyini
(2018-04)We name and describe a new species of long-tailed sigmodontine rodent of the genus Tanyuromys, based on 3 specimens collected from 3 different localities in northern Ecuador, during the period 1953–2008. All 3 localities ... -

Example datasets for: ku.enm, a dynamic R package for detailed calibration and construction of ecological niche models in Maxent
(2018-01-01)Example datasets with which to test the ku.enm R package. -
Comparison of Target-Capture and Restriction-Site Associated DNA Sequencing for Phylogenomics: A Test in Cardinalid Tanagers (Aves, Genus: Piranga)
(Oxford University Press, 2016-01-28)Restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) and target capture of specific genomic regions, such as ultraconserved elements (UCEs), are emerging as two of the most popular methods for phylogenomics using ... -
Structure Elucidation of Unknown Metabolites in Metabolomics by Combined NMR and MS/MS Prediction
(Frontiers Media, 2018-01-17)We introduce a cheminformatics approach that combines highly selective and orthogonal structure elucidation parameters; accurate mass, MS/MS (MS2), and NMR into a single analysis platform to accurately identify unknown ... -
Completeness of Digital Accessible Knowledge of the Birds of Western Africa and Priorities for Survey and Inventory
(2018-04-12)Primary biodiversity data are widely used to model ecological niches and geographic distributions of species, assess the status of global biodiversity, and inform conservation decisions. However, these data are often ... -
Appendix for: Major challenges for correlational ecological niche model projections to future climate conditions
(2018-01-01)Appendix for: Species-level forecasts of distributional potential and likely distributional shifts in the face of changing climates have become popular in the literature in the past 20 years. Many refinements have been ... -

Evolution of Sex Chromosome Dosage Compensation in Animals: A Beautiful Theory, Undermined by Facts and Bedeviled by Details
(Oxford University Press, 2017-08-22)Many animals with genetic sex determination harbor heteromorphic sex chromosomes, where the heterogametic sex has half the gene dose of the homogametic sex. This imbalance, if reflected in the abundance of transcripts or ...
