Post-zygotic reproductive barriers confirm absence of continuous interspecific gene flow between Mepraia spp. (Hemiptera, Triatominae) by Jader de Oliveira, Kaio Cesar Chaboli Alevi, Amanda Ravazi, Jociel Klleyton S. Santana, Daniel Frias Lasserre, João Aristeu da Rosa, Cleber Galvão, Mauro Toledo Marrelli

“…Even though hybrids have been obtained in all directions, the combination of different evolutionary events demonstrated here, such as low hatching rate and high mortality rate of hybrids, as well as the presence of post-zygotic reproductive barriers and possible action of Haldane’s rule indicate that there is no continuous interspecific gene flow between Mepraia spp. and confirms the specific status of species based on the biological species concept.…”

Economic costs of health and social care for a child with a life-limiting condition in their last year of life: a systematic review by Nathan Bray, Jane Noyes, Louise Prendergast, Ellie Crane

“…Costs increase in the final months of life, and specialist paediatric palliative care interventions were associated with overall lower costs through reductions in hospital admissions and length of stay.Conclusions It was not possible to present a reliable robust estimate of the economic costs of services and resources due to limited and heterogenic data. …”
