Phylogenetic diversification of Equisetum (Equisetales) as inferred from Lower Cretaceous species of British Columbia
Download2009
Stockey, Ruth A., Stanich, Nicholas A., Rothwell, Gar W.
Three types of anatomically preserved vegetative shoots with features that characterize crown group Equisetum have been discovered in Lower Cretaceous deposits ( ≈ 136 Ma) of British Columbia, Canada, suggesting the genus is much older than currently believed. Specimens include two types of...

Phylogenetic framework for Dioryctria (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae: Phycitinae) based on combined analysis of mitochondrial DNA and morphology
Download2005
Sperling, F. A. H., Du, Y., Roe, A. D.
Coneworms of the genus Dioryctria Zeller are important lepidopterous pests of conifer cones throughout the Holarctic region. Seventy-nine Dioryctria species are currently recognized and arranged into 11 species groups, but a globally unified classification of these species groups has not been...

The phylogenetic relationships of the destructive spruce budworm group of forest pests (Choristoneura fumiferana species complex) have previously been explored using allozymes, microsatellites, mitochondrial genes and a nuclear gene, but remain poorly resolved with conflicting topologies. I used...

Leafrollers moths are one of the most ecologically and economically important groups of herbivorous insects. These Lepidoptera are an ideal model for exploring the drivers that modulate the processes of diversification over time. This thesis analyzes the evolution of Choristoneura Lederer, a well...

Epithelia form protective barriers and regulate molecule transport between the mesenchyme and environment. Amongst all metazoans, only sponges are said to lack 'true' epithelia however the physiology of sponge cell layers are rarely studied empirically. Aggregates and gemmules of a freshwater...

Gorodkin, J., Christensen, O. F., Jørgensen, F. G., Yang, H., Bendixen, C., Brunak, S., Wernersson, R., Panitz, F., Hornshøj, H., Mailund, T., Wong, G.K.S., Dong, W., Wang, J., Li, W., Klein, A., Fredholm, M., Hu, S., Stærfeldt, H.-H., Bolund, L., Liu, B., Schierup, M. H., Yu, J.
Background Comparative whole genome analysis of Mammalia can benefit from the addition of more species. The pig is an obvious choice due to its economic and medical importance as well as its evolutionary position in the artiodactyls. Results We have generated ~3.84 million shotgun sequences...

Population structure and phylogenetic relationships of Ceutorhynchus neglectus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Download2005
Sperling, F. A. H., Dosdall, L. M., Laffin, R. D.
Ceutorhynchus neglectus Blatchley is a weevil that is native to, and widely distributed in, North America. It has life-history characteristics similar to its alien invasive congener, Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (Marsham), the cabbage seedpod weevil. Our study was undertaken to compare the population...
