Extended living arrangements in Chile: An analysis of subfamilies
… an extended household and those that join it as subfamilies. Using quantitative methods, I analyse a nationally representative household survey: the CASEN survey. This is the most complete data source on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the Chilean population. This dissertation …

Molecular evolution of beta (â) keratins in three bird species and divergence time estimates for the avian â-keratin subfamilies
… multigene family containing at least four major subfamilies (scale, claw, feather-like and feather â-keratins). Three avian genomes, the chicken (Gallus gallus), zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) and the turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), have recently been published and through the knowledge of …

Relações filogenéticas entre os táxons basais da família Trichomycteridae (Siluriformes : Loricarioidea)
… at the base of the cladogram, involving the subfamilies Copionodontinae, Trichogeninae and the remaining Trichomycteridae. The aim of this study is to test the phylogenetic position of the basal Trichomycteridae subfamilies Copionodontinae and Trichogeninae, based on new morphological …

Inference of degree of significance of single amino acids from the literature
Several subfamilies of potassium channels are highly conserved along the vast majority of the protein sequence among a wide array of very distantly related animals. We call this characteristic “hyperconservation”. In this work we create a quantitative definition and explore the degree of …

A molecular phylogeny of the subfamily Arundinoideae (Poaceae)
… 73 grass species from all currently recognised subfamilies. Phylogenetic analysis of this sequence data required the development of specialised alignment techniques based on testing assumptions of positional homology. Results of the analyses based on these alignments suggest that the …

Systematics of the Australian members of bee fly subfamily Bombyliinae and molecular phylogeny of the superfamily Asiloidea using anchored hybrid enrichment and transcriptome data
The Bombyliidae (bee flies), comprising 15 subfamilies, and more than 250 genera and 5,000 described species, and is one of the most species-rich families of lower Brachycera (Diptera) (Evenhuis and Greathead, 2015; Yeates, 1994). The family gets its common name from its resemblance to bees, as the …

An analysis of human Alu element lineages
… These lineages are comprised of several distinct subfamilies, which contain elements that are evolutionarily-related because they share common diagnostic mutations. Some of these Alu subfamilies are still actively mobilizing in the human genome. We have recovered 4333 Ya and Yb-lineage elements …

Parasitism of Scarabaeidae by Parasitoid Flies in British Columbia and Western USA: Informing Biological Control Programs Against Popillia japonica with Crowd-sourced Records of Non-target Scarab Beetles
… iNaturalist were 111 species from eight scarab subfamilies. Only 17 scarabs were observed with structures resembling parasitoid eggs present. I categorized observed eggs into groups based on morphological characteristics; nine were categorized into the same group as I. aldrichi eggs. The …

The Cloning and Characterization of Two ROP/RAC G-Proteins from Gossypium Hirsutum
… G-protein genes were sequenced, representing subfamilies III and IV of the plant monomeric Gprotein family. In this project, members of subfamilies II and I were cloned, sequenced, and named GhRac2 and GhRac3, respectively. Using real-time reverse transcription PCR, expression of GhRac2 was …

Comparative Morphology of Sensilla Styloconica on the Proboscis of North American Nymphalidae and Other Selected Taxa: Systematic and Ecological Considerations.
… Nymphalidae representing 45 genera and 11 subfamilies. Nomenclature for generalized and specific types of nymphalid sensilla is proposed. Written descriptions and micrographs are presented for each species studied. Morphological features were generally consistent for all or most species …

Resolution of paraphyly in caesalpinioid legumes
… Leguminosae has traditionally comprised three subfamilies, the Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae and Papilionoideae. Following a large-scale molecular based phylogenetic analysis in which subfamily Caesalpinioideae was demonstrated to be highly paraphyletic, the number of subfamilies recognised was …

Systematics and Evolution of the Basal Lineages of Therevidae (Insecta: Diptera)
… the monophyly of the family and the two basal subfamilies. A chapter on the morphological features of Phycinae and Xestomyzinae was produced to unify the terms used in this study. A world catalog of Phycinae and Xestomyzinae is provided, which include the names of all described species …

Evolutionary Analysis of Acetylcholine Receptors Type of Ligand-Gated Ion Channels
… sequence, branching out to the ancestral subfamilies (those that are seen in all seven of the animals), and finally out to the more specialized subfamilies that appeared within particular phyla, as represented by the organisms that I analyzed. I then tracked the location-bylocation …

Length functions in flat metrics
… of Randol (building on work of Horowitz) for subfamilies of at metrics coming from q-di erentials. In addition we also describe how these equivalence relations are related to each other.

Systematics of the Leafhopper Subfamily Deltocephalinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) and the Tribe Chiasmini: Phylogeny, Classification, and Biogeography
… analysis of Deltocephalinae and related subfamilies. The data set included 2814 aligned positions of the 28S rDNA gene region, 353 bp of the Histone H3 nuclear protein coding gene, and 119 morphological characters for 114 included exemplar species representing nearly all tribes of …

Systematic studies in the tribe Ericeae (Ericaceae-Ericoideae)
… 1980). It has been divided up into several subfamilies and tribes and has included several other families, depending on the classification system being followed. The early treatments of genera were based on Linnaeus' Sexual System (Linnaeus 1753, 1754) in which 'Classes', sometimes unnatural …

EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS IN POLYGONEAE RCHB. (POLYGONACEAE) WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE AMPHI-PACIFIC MUEHLENBECKIA MEISN.
… Polygonoideae that is in turn one of the three subfamilies recognized in the buckwheat family Polygonaceae. Representatives of the other two subfamilies, Eriogonoideae and the monotypic Symmerioideae, are included in this study as outgroups in addition to some species of the Plumbaginaceae. …

Defining the role of cellulose synthase-like M genes in the plant cell wall
… There are now 10 cellulose synthase-like subfamilies in plants with many of them implicated in the biosynthesis of the backbones of non-cellulosic polysaccharides in plant cell walls. However, the function of some subfamilies remains cryptic. Recent research proposes that CslM genes may …
