Analysis of autosomal polygenic variation for the expression of Haldane's rule in flour beetles.

TL;DR: It is inferred that hybrid male viability may have a different genetic basis than viability fitness within species, and Deleterious recessive alleles held within species by mutation/selection balance appear not to be a major contributor to hybrid incompatibility.

Analysis of trans-specific evolution in Cretaceous ostracods

TL;DR: The Late Turonian morph may have resulted from environmentally cued polymorphism with elimination of the original morph due to a long term ecologic change, possibly connected with an increase in silica in the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Effect of Functional Changes upon the Variability of Lizard and Snake Body Scale Numbers

W. Charles Kerfoot
- 01 Jun 1970 - 
TL;DR: Klauber et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the dispersion of the measurement is proportional to the mean length or weight of the population at the time of sampling, while the distributions of the measurements appear to conform closely to the normal distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Similarity of growth among Great tits (Parus major) and Blue tits (P-caeruleus)

TL;DR: Growth in two closely related sympatric species, namely Great tit, Parus major, and Blue tit, P. caeruleus, was analysed, finding growth rates of the two species were found to be very similar for all traits, thus excluding differences in growth rate as a potential cause of evolutionary size changes.

Genetic analysis and mapping of adult plant resistance loci to leaf rust in durum wheat cultivar Bairds.

TL;DR: CIMMYT-derived durum wheat line Bairds displays an adequate level of adult plant resistance (APR) to leaf rust in Mexican field environments and two RILs with four QTLs combinations can be used as sources of complex APR in durum Wheat breeding.
