Polyploids broadly generate novel haplotypes from trans-specific variation in Arabidopsis arenosa and Arabidopsis lyrata. by Magdalena Bohutínská, Eliška Petříková, Tom R Booker, Cristina Vives Cobo, Jakub Vlček, Gabriela Šrámková, Alžběta Poupětová, Jakub Hojka, Karol Marhold, Levi Yant, Filip Kolář, Roswitha Schmickl

“…Polyploidy, the result of whole genome duplication (WGD), is widespread across the tree of life and is often associated with speciation and adaptability. It is thought that adaptation in autopolyploids (within-species polyploids) may be facilitated by increased access to genetic variation. …”

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. …”

Evolutionary history and phylogeographic relationships of shrews from Sorex araneus group. by Paweł Mackiewicz, Magdalena Moska, Heliodor Wierzbicki, Przemysław Gagat, Dorota Mackiewicz

“…The evolution of shrews was driven by Pleistocene glacial and interglacial cycles, which increased their speciation rate and the emergence of new lineages. The migrations of populations were accompanied by introgressions of mitochondrial DNA into native shrews and occurred at least twice.…”

Regulatory logic of endogenous RNAi in silencing de novo genomic conflicts. by Jeffrey Vedanayagam, Ching-Jung Lin, Ranjith Papareddy, Michael Nodine, Alex S Flynt, Jiayu Wen, Eric C Lai

“…These data suggest that endo-RNAi are especially critical during incipient stages of intrinsic sex chromosome conflicts, and that continual cycles of distortion and resolution may contribute to speciation.…”
