Genomic Insights From Natural History Collections Reveal Cryptic Speciation in Coral Guard Crabs (Family: Trapeziidae) by Kenzie Pollard, Carlos Leiva, Heloise Rouzé, Sarah Lemer

“…Populations of the Central and West Pacific showed signs of admixture across a heterogeneous seascape, attributing to a potentially long pelagic dispersal phase and expansive gene pool. Our results highlight the need to further explore the genetic diversity within other Trapezia species and other coral‐associated organisms, as they are likely to exhibit more complex genetic patterns than previously understood.…”

Could Selectively Skipping of the Repetitive Thinking Questionnaire among a Series of Self-Report Scales in a Study Be a Coping Strategy? by İ. Volkan GÜLÜM, İhsan DAĞ

“…Objective: Depending on an observation in which some of the subjects’ nonrandom irresponsiveness to repetitive thinking questionnaire items among fully answered others in a study of current researchers, the aims of the present study were to test that whether the ignorance of repetitive thinking items is a stress coping strategy or not, to compare people who ignore the repetitive thinking items (IRT) with people who have high repetitive thinking (HRT) and low repetitive thinking (LRT) in context of attachment patterns, sychopathological symptoms and cognitive flexibility.Method: 432 (278 women and 154 men) college students were selected from a larger research project sample pool which had funded by TÜBİTAK. …”
