Stable isotopes indicate population structuring in the southwest Atlantic population of right whales (Eubalaena australis). by Morgana Vighi, Asunción Borrell, Enrique A Crespo, Larissa R Oliveira, Paulo C Simões-Lopes, Paulo A C Flores, Néstor A García, Alex Aguilar

“…Results indicated significant differences between the two sampling areas, being δ13C and δ18O values significantly higher in samples from southern Brazil than in those from central Argentina. This variation was consistent with isotopic baselines from the two areas, indicating the occurrence of some level of structure in the Southwest Atlantic right whale population and equally that whales more likely feed in areas commonly thought to exclusively serve as nursing grounds. …”

Genetic diversity and population structure of cowpea mutant collection using SSR and ISSR molecular markers by Sara Diallo, François Abaye Badiane, Badji-N’Poneh Ange Kabkia, Issa Diédhiou, Made Diouf, Diaga Diouf

“…The hierarchical clustering of combined SSR and ISSR markers grouped the accessions into four groups, supporting the STRUCTURE analysis results. Additionally, the combination of SSR and ISSR provided better information on the level of genetic diversity, and population structure, and was more effective in determining the relationship between cowpea collection. …”

Recent Advances in the Use of Drill Cuttings for Determining Subduction Zone Structure, Stratigraphy, and Stress State by P. H. Cornard, A. M. Schleicher, C. Regalla, M. Hamahashi, M. Kitamura, R. Fukuchi, K. T. Pickering, H. Kitajima, T. Wiersberg

“…Combining these data with logging‐while‐drilling and mud gas logging data permits the generation of depth profiles of lithological variation and deformation structures. Significant limitations of cuttings include small sample size, contamination from cement and drilling fluids, the formation of drilling‐induced cohesive aggregates (DICAs), and vertical mixing during ascent. …”

A generalist vector-transmitted parasite exhibits population genetic structure among host genera by Vincenzo A. Ellis, Mélanie Duc, Arif Ciloglu, Olof Hellgren, Staffan Bensch

“…However, it is unclear if parasite transmission among host species precludes the establishment of host-specific adaptations and population genetic structure. We assessed the population genetic structure of the vector-transmitted avian haemosporidian parasite Haemoproteus majoris (lineage WW2; n = 34 infections) in a single site in southern Sweden among 10 of its host species. …”
