1. A countrywide survey of colour morph frequencies in the spider Enoplognatha ovata (Clerck) (Araneae: Theridiidae): evidence for natural selection

Author:

ISSN:
0024-4066
Subject:
Theridiidae; climatic factors; color; natural selection; regression analysis; surveys; Great Britain
Abstract:
... Data on the frequencies of the main colour morphs (lineata, redimita and ovata) of Enoplognatha ovata have been collected from a total of 454 Ordnance Survey 10 km squares distributed throughout Great Britain. Only c. 0.5% of samples were monomorphic, for lineata in each case. Multiple regression analysis has been used to assess possible associations between morph frequencies and principal compone ...

parallel evolution
Abstract:
... An opisthosomal (abdominal) colour polymorphism is described in the North American spider, Theridion californicum, comprising a plain Yellow morph and (at least) ten patterned morphs, which exhibit areas of red or black pigments superimposed on the yellow background, or no pigment (white). The polymorphism appears to be present throughout the species' range. The Yellow morph is the most frequent i ...

To determine the ability of a vaccine formulated with the genital Chlamydia trachomatis, serovar F, native major outer membrane protein (Ct-F-nMOMP), to induce systemic and mucosal immune responses, rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) were immunized three times by the intramuscular (i.m.) and subcutaneous (s.c.) routes using CpG-2395 and Montanide ISA 720 VG, as adjuvants. As controls, another group ...

Abstract:
... Seasonal impacts on the production of algae biomass require blending with other feedstocks such as wood to maintain consistent annual conversion capacity. Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has developed a long-term storage strategy for algae biomass using ensiling, or anaerobic wet storage, that was tested for blends of algae and wood to stabilize the feedstock supply for processing to fuels.
