Toward Ecological Holism: Discerning Pattern, Process and Scale Across the Productivity Landscape
… is insensitive to the mediating factors of genetics and adaptive capacity, metabolism and physiology, and ecological interactions and processes. Productivity is thus an emergent property of ecosystem function, based on the collective metabolism of hosts and symbionts, interactions between …

Effects of Messages About Genetics, Race, and Health on Public Opinion About Personalized Medicine and Health Policy
… of the Human Genome Project, knowledge about the genetic basis of many traits and common diseases has increased substantially (Kessler et al., 2007). As progress in the field of genetics continues to occur at a rapid pace, there is growing concern about the social and ethical consequences of these …

Development of microsatellite (SSR) marker multiplexes for future construction of a genetic linkage map for pear (Pyrus communis L.)
Recent advances in the field of plant genetics and application of molecular technologies has lead to greater understanding of various crop genomes and their organization.The applications of these techniques include molecular markers which have been used to examine DNA variation within crop species. …

Social niche construction: evolutionary explanations for cooperative group formation
… is well-known that individual genetic traits can affect population structure; an example is extracellular matrix production by bacteria in a biofilm. Yet, the concurrent evolution of such traits with social behaviour is very rarely considered. We show here that social behaviour …

Ecological genomics and conservation of caribou in Western North America
… I detected a signal of balancing selection, a genetic force that maintains genetic polymorphisms within populations. I suggest that this force has a fundamental role in maintaining multiple haplotypes and phenotypes within caribou populations, also including partial migration. In this thesis, I …

Indigenous knowledge, variation in morphology, nutritional composition and genetics of Strychnos spinosa morphotypes
… in morphology, nutritional composition, and genetics among S. spinosa morphotypes are limited. Thus, this study aimed to determine the indigenous knowledge, variation in morphology, nutrition, and genetics among S. spinosa morphotypes. Local indigenous knowledge on S. spinosa was documented …

Genetic differences in lung adenocarcinoma cells from patients of African and European ancestry
In the past two decades, advancements in cancer genetics research have significantly enhanced our molecular comprehension of human cancers. This progress has led to the development of improved clinical tools for the precise diagnosis, prognosis prediction, and tailored treatment of cancers. …

A hedonic model on bred heifer prices: auction, heifer, genetic, and reputation effects considered
… analysis of estimated progeny differences, breed traits, and reputation effects. Sellers can self-select into production, genotypic, and phenotypic characteristics, so the premiums and/or discounts associated with artificial insemination and high-accuracy traits will be assessed. The value of this …

Breeding and technological innovations in dairy and beef cattle markets
… Program started testing bulls for their genetic traits to provide better information to guide dairy farmer’s breeding decisions with the help of breed associations and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). These tests called Large Scale Genetic Evaluations (Or simply …

FROM MUSCLE TO MEAT: MORPHO-FUNCTIONAL FOUNDATIONS FOR APPLICATIVE ASPECTS.
… breeds, myogenesis is influenced by distinct genetic traits that also enhance the animals' resilience to environmental challenges. The interaction between animal’s genetic background and external factors, such as seasonal temperature variations, affects the regulation of muscle cell …

Determining the fitness and competitive advantage of the epidemic ExPEC clone E. coli ST131
… key aim of this study was to characterise the traits that give E. coli ST131 a competitive fitness advantage over other potential ExPEC clones. Comparative phenotypic characterisation of a collection of ExPEC strains showed that there was no difference between ST131 and non-ST131 strains in …

Site effects on wildlife enteric bacterial diversity: you are where you eat?
… species at multiple levels, from communities to genetic traits. The unique host population history and geography of this island chain informed hypotheses about expected biogeographical patterns and the underlying processes that shape microbial diversity in this system. In Chapter 1, we reviewed …

Farmers' expectations of yield differences between triple-stack and conventional corn hybrids
In 1996, genetically modified corn was commercially available for the first time. Since then, seed technology companies have introduced new genetically modified hybrids, including ―stacked trait hybrids‖ containing multiple traits. Adoption rates of the genetically modified seed increased for …

The Explorer in English Fiction
… Major works have a way, too, of declaring their genetic traits. Allusions to Rasselas and The Ancient Mariner, for instance, spell out Melville's glorious debts to diverse traditions, while his hybrid forms record the impact of a scientific spirit that did much to transform travel writing. I draw …
