Reproductive Interference and Niche Partitioning in Aphidophagous Insects by Suzuki Noriyuki, Naoya Osawa

“…Firstly, we present closely related generalist and specialist species pairs in aphidophagous lacewings to compare the reproductive interference hypothesis with two other hypotheses that have been proposed to explain niche partitioning in lacewings and sympatric speciation through host race formation and sexual selection. …”

An Unusual Case of Streptococcus anginosus Group Pyomyositis Diagnosed Using Direct 16S Ribosomal DNA Sequencing by Andrew Walkty, John M Embil, Kim Nichol, James Karlowsky

“…The pathogen was recovered from one of two blood cultures obtained from the patient, but speciation was initially not performed because the organism was considered to be a contaminant (viridans streptococci group). …”

Variation morphologique et concept d’espèce en paléoanthropologie : l’exemple d’Australopithecus en Afrique australe by Amélie Beaudet

“…Far from being anecdotical, this presumed taxonomic diversity within the genus Australopithecus would substantially modify our grasp of speciation processes within Plio-Pleistocene hominins. …”

NMR study of a gel layer formed on an irradiated Na-aluminoborosilicate glass during aqueous alteration by Sathya Narayanasamy, Thibault Charpentier, Amreen Jan, Mélanie Moskura, Matilde Benassi, Jean-Marc Delaye, Stéphane Gin

“…Nevertheless, according to 11B and 1H NMR experiments, differences were observed in the quantity and speciation of B retained in the gels. The results suggest that the glass alteration mechanisms responsible for passivation are not changed because of the irradiation-induced structural damages. …”

Characteristics of Atmospheric Metalliferous Particles during Large-Scale Fireworks in Korea by Zang-Ho Shon, Ju-Hee Jeong, Yoo-Keun Kim

“…In addition, the impact of firework events on the ambient concentration levels of trace metals was likely to be different depending on their chemical speciation. The impact of firework events in Busan on urban air quality (trace metal) was less intense compared to other similar festivals worldwide. …”

How does the mode of evolutionary divergence affect reproductive isolation? by De Sanctis, Bianca, Schneemann, Hilde, Welch, John J.

“…In this way, the mode of evolutionary divergence between populations may have predictable consequences for the fitness of their hybrids, and so for the progress of speciation. To investigate these connections, we present a new analysis of hybridization under Fisher's geometric model, making few assumptions about the allelic effects that differentiate the hybridizing populations. …”

Harmonization of the Long-term PM2.5 Carbon Data from the CSN Sites in New York State by Hesham Hassan, James Schwab, Jie Zhang

“…Abstract Harmonizing the particulate carbon data from the Chemical Speciation Network (CSN) is necessary to perform reliable long-term trend and seasonal variability analyses, clean air regulation assessments, and climate change studies. …”

Determination of Spatial Chromium Contamination of the Environment around Industrial Zones by Dereje Homa, Ermias Haile, Alemayehu P. Washe

“…The highest levels of chromium (VI) found from the speciation study were 2.23±0.032 mg/Kg and 0.322±0.07 mg/L in soil and water samples, respectively, which decreased with distance from the tannery. …”

Spatial and Temporal Trends in PM2.5 Organic and Elemental Carbon across the United States by J. L. Hand, B. A. Schichtel, W. C. Malm, N. H. Frank

“…The rural/remote IMPROVE network (Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments) and the Environmental Protection Agency's urban Chemical Speciation Network have measured PM2.5 organic (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) since 1989 and 2000, respectively. …”

Germline-restricted chromosomes of the songbirds by P. M. Borodin

“…One may suggest that the rapid coordinated evolution between the GRC genes and the genes of the basic genome in the songbirds might be responsible for the explosive speciation and adaptive radiation of this most species-rich and diverse infraorder of birds.…”

Soil Physicochemical and Biological Properties of Paddy-Upland Rotation: A Review by Wei Zhou, Teng-Fei Lv, Yong Chen, Anthony P. Westby, Wan-Jun Ren

“…Paddy-upland rotation fields are unique from other wetland or upland soils, because they are associated with frequent cycling between wetting and drying under anaerobic and aerobic conditions; such rotations affect the soil C and N cycles, make the chemical speciation and biological effectiveness of soil nutrient elements varied with seasons, increase the diversity of soil organisms, and make the soil physical properties more difficult to analyze. …”

Evaluation of Solubility and Complexation Ability of Vanillic, Syringic and Gallic Acids Towards Aluminum Cation by Donatella Aiello, Tiziana Marino, Anna Napoli, Emilia Furia, Pierluigi Plastina

“…Then, potentiometric titrations were carried out, and the speciation analysis indicated a pH-dependent complexation occurring at a 1:1 hydroxybenzoic acid-to-aluminum ratio for vanillic and syringic, and 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 ligand-to-Al(III) ratios for gallic. …”
