✦ Synopsis

The rapid accumulation of gene sequence data is allowing evolutionary inferences of unprecedented resolution. In the area of population genetics, gene trees and polymorphism data are being used to study demographic parameters. In the area of comparative biology, the shapes of phylogenetic trees provide information about patterns of speciation, coevolution, and macroevolution. A variety of statistical methods have been developed for exploiting the information contained within organismal genomes. In this paper, we emphasise the conceptual bases of the tests, rather than details of their implementation.

We investigated the micromechanical behavior of porcine femoral cortical bone using a novel, nondestructive, noncontacting, laser-based strain measurement technique. The technique is based upon the well-known concept of tracking translating laser speckle with a linear array CCD camera, but employs a

Body weight is an important attribute of any animal and influences its biology in many ways. In the case of the fat-tailed dwarf lemur (Cheirogaleus medius), this is of special interest because animals of this species store fat to survive extended torpor phases during the austral winter and, as a re

We compare the results of genomic scans conducted with the Haseman-Elston sibpair method using either (1) the average marker information from several adjacent loci or (2) each marker individually. Under smoothing, the squared sib-pair trait difference is regressed on the average number of alleles sh
