TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a taxonomic taxonomic model for the genus of birds and its relationships with the plant and animal communities, including the relationships between plants and animals.

TL;DR: Analysis of DNA fingerprints of snapping turtles and hypervariable restriction fragments of red‐winged black birds to estimate the between‐blot and between‐lane components of variance in molecular weights of restriction fragments suggests that empirical relationships between SD and band size must be used to decide if two bands represent the same allele.

TL;DR: If future habitat fragmentation reduces dispersal between populations to even a small extent, then individual populations may undergo a loss of genetic diversity due to an increase in the relative importance of drift, since inbreeding effective population sizes are relatively small.

TL;DR: Comparing cuckoos from different hosts found no significant differences in the number of repeats in the control region of the mtDNA nor in the allele frequencies of three microsatellite loci, suggesting that either: (i) egg-colour variation in cuckoo is facultative, which is unlikely; or (ii) gene flow between races occurs because female cuckoes sporadically successfully parasitize alternative hosts.

TL;DR: Analysis of individual transcripts and venom protein isoforms produced by specimens of a venomous snake (Bothrops atrox), from the Brazilian Amazon rainforest, revealed that transcriptional and translational mechanisms contribute to venom phenotypic variation.
