Phylogeography, genetic diversity, and demography of central European populations of two flightless xerothermic weevils, Polydrusus inustus and Centricnemus leucogrammus, were studied based on the polymorphism of three mtDNA genes (COII, CytB, and ND1).Results indicate that these xerothermic beetles may have different origins.P.inustus is a recent
Are you with me? Co-occurrence tests from community ecology can identify positive and negative epistasis between inversions in Mimulus guttatus.
Chromosomal inversions are structural genetic variants that can play a crucial role in adaptive evolution and speciation.Patterns of attraction and repulsion among unlinked inversions - whether they tend to be carried by the same or different individuals- can indicate how selection is acting on these polymorphisms.In this study, we compare analytic
Effect of a Hearer's Politeness on Multimodal Behaviors in Speech
This paper investigates the effect of a hearer's attitude toward a speaker's multimodal behaviors.Twenty-one university students, nine males and twelve females, participated in this experiment as speakers.Two females, aged 22 years old, performed in the role of hearers.The experiment was carried out under two conditions regarding the hear
