Parallel introgression, not recurrent emergence, explains apparent elevational ecotypes of polyploid Himalayan snowtrout by Tyler K. Chafin, Binod Regmi, Marlis R. Douglas, David R. Edds, Karma Wangchuk, Sonam Dorji, Pema Norbu, Sangay Norbu, Changlu Changlu, Gopal Prasad Khanal, Singye Tshering, Michael E. Douglas

“…However, partitioned analyses of phylogeny and admixture identified subsets of loci under selection that retained genealogical concordance with morphology, suggesting instead that apparent patterns of morphological/phylogenetic discordance are driven by widespread genomic homogenization. …”

Methods for estimation of genetic parameters in soybeans: an alternative to adjust residual variability by Ivan Ricardo Carvalho, Jose Antônio Gonzalez da Silva, Natã Balssan Moura, Luiz Leonardo Ferreira, Francine Lautenchleger, Velci Queiróz de Souza

“…Both scenarios were submitted to three consolidated frequentist methods (genitor-progeny regression; sum of squares of augmented block design with interim controls; and mixed linear models, wherein random genetic effects are taken as weighted genetic parameters by the genealogical matrix). Restricting residual variation in parents or controls can maximize genetic parameters and genetic gains in soybean breeding. …”

Media Studies, Audiovisual Media Communications, and Generations: The Case of Budding Journalists in Radio Courses in Greece by Constantinos Nicolaou, Maria Matsiola, Christina Karypidou, Anna Podara, Rigas Kotsakis, George Kalliris

“…The results (a) confirmed (i) the theory of audiovisual media in education, as well as (ii) the genealogical characteristics and habits of budding journalists as highlighted in basic generational theory, something which appears to be in agreement with findings of previous studies and research; and (b) showed that (i) teaching methodology and educational techniques aimed primarily at adult learners in adult education kept the interest and attention of the budding journalists through the use of such specific educational communication tools as audiovisual media technologies, as well as (ii) sound/audio media, as audiovisual content may hold a significant part in a lecture.…”

Population genetic variation and historical dynamics of the natural enemy insect Propylea japonica (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in China by Meng-qi WANG, Hong-rui ZHAGN, Yu-qiang XI, Gao-ping WANG, Man ZHAO, Li-juan ZHANG, Xian-ru GUO

“…Propylea japonica has not yet formed a significant genealogical structure in China, but there was a population structure signal to some extent, which may be caused by frequent gene flow between populations. …”

Genetic parameters of traits associated with the growth curve in Segureña sheep by T.M. Lupi, J.M. León, S. Nogales, C. Barba, J.V. Delgado

“…Reproductive management in the population consists in controlled natural mating inside every herd, with a minimum of 15% of the females fertilized by artificial insemination with fresh semen; with the purpose being the herd genetic connections, all herd genealogies are screened with DNA markers. Estimates of growth curve parameters from birth to 80 days were obtained for each individual and each function by the non-linear regression procedure using IBM SPSS statistics (version 21) with the Levenberg–Marquart estimation method. …”

Endophytic Trichoderma species from rubber trees native to the Brazilian Amazon, including four new species by Vanessa Nascimento Brito, Janaina Lana Alves, Kaliane Sírio Araújo, Tiago de Souza Leite, Casley Borges de Queiroz, Olinto Liparini Pereira, Marisa Vieira de Queiroz

“…In this study, 30 endophytic Trichoderma isolates—obtained from the leaves, stems, and roots of wild Hevea spp. in the Brazilian Amazon—were analyzed using specific DNA barcodes: sequences of internal transcribed spacers 1 and 2 of rDNA (ITS region), genes encoding translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF1-α), and the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2). The genealogical concordance phylogenetic species recognition (GCPSR) concept was used for species delimitation. …”

“…Whereas the work and effects of institutions, with their genealogies, remits, and competencies, are to a large extent specifiable according to their operating norms and the various regulatory frameworks that govern their operations, the dispositions of arrangements – what they do, what they actually bring about – are not readily definable or clear, enacting a form of performative ambiguity. …”
