   Abstract = {Comparisons of the genetic and cytogenetic maps of three
             sibling species of Drosophila reveal marked differences in
             the frequency and cumulative distribution of crossovers
             during meiosis. The maps for two of these species,
             Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans, have previously
             been described, while this report presents new map data for
             D. mauritiana, obtained using a set of P element markers. A
             genetic map covering nearly the entire genome was
             constructed by estimating the recombination fraction for
             each pair of adjacent inserts. The P-based genetic map of
             mauritiana is approximately 1.8 times longer than the
             standard melanogaster map. It appears that mauritiana has
             higher recombination along the entire length of each
             chromosome, but the difference is greates in
             centromere-proximal regions of the autosomes. The mauritiana
             autosomes show little or no centromeric recombinational
             suppression, a characteristic that is prominent in
             melanogaster. D. simulans appears to be intermediate both in
             terms of total map length and intensity of the autosomal
             centromeric effect. These interspecific differences in
             recombination have important evolutionary implications for
             DNA sequence organization and variability. In particular,
             mauritiana is expected to differ from melanogaster in
             patterns and amounts of sequence variation and transposon
             insertions.},

   Abstract = {Two closely related species of Drosophila, D. simulans and
             D. mauritiana, differ markedly in morphology of the
             posterior lobe of the male genital arch. Both size and shape
             aspects of lobe variation can be quantified by a
             morphometric descriptor based on elliptical Fourier and
             principal components analyses. The genetic architecture of
             this quantitative trait (PC1) was investigated by
             hybridizing inbred lines to produce two backcross
             populations approximately 200 individuals each, which were
             analyzed jointly by a composite interval mapping procedure
             with the aid of 18 marker loci. The parental lines show a
             large difference in PC1 (30.4 environmental standard
             deviations), and the markers account for > 80% of the
             phenotypic variation in backcross populations. Eight of 15
             intervals analyzed show convincing evidence of quantitative
             trait loci (QTL), and the range of estimated QTL effects is
             5.7-15.9% of the parental difference (1.7-4.8 environmental
             standard deviations). These estimates may represent the
             joint effects of multiple QTL within a single interval
             (which averaged 23 cM in length). Although there is some
             evidence of partial dominance of mauritiana alleles and for
             epistasis, the pattern of inheritance is largely
             additive.},

   Title = {An introgression analysis of quantitative trait loci that
             contribute to a morphological difference between Drosophila
             simulans and D. mauritiana.},

   Abstract = {Drosophila simulans and D. mauritiana differ markedly in
             morphology of the posterior lobe, a male-specific genitalic
             structure. Both size and shape of the lobe can be quantified
             by a morphometric variable, PCl, derived from principal
             components and Fourier analyses. The genetic architecture of
             the species difference in PCl was investigated previously by
             composite interval mapping, which revealed largely additive
             inheritance, with a minimum of eight quantitative trait loci
             (QTL) affecting the trait. This analysis was extended by
             introgression of marked segments of the mauritiana third
             chromosome into a simulans background by repeated
             backcrossing. The two types of experiment are consistent in
             suggesting that several QTL on the third chromosome may have
             effects in the range of 10-15% of the parental difference
             and that all or nearly all QTL have effects in the same
             direction. Since the parental difference is large (30.4
             environmental standard deviations), effects of this
             magnitude can produce alternative homozygotes with little
             overlap in phenotype. However, these estimates may not
             reflect the effects of individual loci, since each interval
             or introgressed segment may contain multiple QTL. The
             consistent direction of allelic effects suggests a history
             of directional selection on the posterior
             lobe.},

   Abstract = {SYNOPSIS. Morphometric approaches facilitate the analysis of
             quantitative variation in form, typically becoming most
             useful for the study of organisms that have completed
             morphogenesis and arc at differing stages of growth. Recent
             conceptual and technical refinements in the characterization
             and comparison of forms have joined methodological
             innovations in molecular biology, embryology, and phytogeny
             reconstruction to advance the study of the evolution of
             development. Among the phenomena that have recently been
             examined morphometrically are developmental integration and
             heterochrony, discoveries that in turn raise deeper
             questions about the connections among disciplines and among
             levels of description: the relationship between morphometric
             variables and characters, between phenomenology and process,
             and the interplay (and evolutionary relevance) of genes and
             phenotypes. Morphometrics can continue to play a vital role
             in evolutionary studies of-development as its results
             generate questions both for its practitioners and for other
             sorts of biologists to explore.},

   Abstract = {By modifying habitats and creating bridges and barriers
             between landmasses, climate change and tectonic events are
             believed to have important consequences for diversification
             of terrestrial organisms. Such consequences should be most
             evident in phylogenetic histories of groups that are
             ancient, widespread, and diverse. The squirrel family
             (Sciuridae) is one of very few mammalian families endemic to
             Eurasia, Africa, and North and South America and is ideal
             for examining these issues. Through phylogenetic and
             molecular-clock analyses, we infer that arrival and
             diversification of squirrels in Africa, on Sunda Shelf
             islands, across Beringea, and across the Panamanian isthmus
             coincide in timing and location with multiple
             well-documented sea-level, tectonic, and paleontological

             from four species of squirrel (order Rodentia, family
             Sciuridae). Squirrel RNase 1 genes encode typical RNase A
             ribonucleases, each with eight cysteines, a conserved
             CKXXNTF signature motif, and a canonical
             His(12)-Lys(41)-His(119) catalytic triad. Two alleles encode
             Callosciurus prevostii RNase 1, which include a
             Ser(18)<-->Pro, analogous to the sequence polymorphisms
             found among the RNase 1 duplications in the genome of Rattus
             exulans. Interestingly, although the squirrel RNase 1 genes
             are closely related to one another (77-95% amino acid

             divergent from the clusters including RNase 1 genes from
             other rodent species. We examined the specific sites at
             which Sciuridae RNase 1s diverge from Muridae/Cricetidae

   Abstract = {Several recent studies have examined the function and
             evolution of a Drosophila homolog to the human breast cancer
             susceptibility gene BRCA2, named dmbrca2. We previously
             identified what appeared to be a recent expansion in the
             RAD51-binding BRC-repeat array in the ancestor of Drosophila
             yakuba. In this study, we examine patterns of variation and
             evolution of the dmbrca2 BRC-repeat array within D. yakuba
             and its close relatives. We develop a model of how unequal
             crossing over may have produced the expanded form, but we
             also observe short repeat forms, typical of other species in
             the D. melanogaster group, segregating within D. yakuba and
             D. santomea. These short forms do not appear to be
             identical-by-descent, suggesting that the history of dmbrca2
             in the D. melanogaster subgroup has involved repeat unit
             contractions resulting in homoplasious forms. We conclude
             that the evolutionary history of dmbrca2 in D. yakuba and
             perhaps in other Drosophila species may be more complicated
             than can be inferred from examination of the published
             single genome sequences per species.},

   Abstract = {<h4>Purpose</h4>Recent impactful additions to the
             professional literature on the role of pharmacotherapy in
             treating the critically ill are summarized.<h4>Summary</h4>An
             unusually large number of updated practice guidelines and
             other publications with broad critical care pharmacotherapy
             ramifications appeared in the primary biomedical literature
             during the designated review period (February 2012-February
             2013). Hundreds of relevant articles were evaluated by the
             Critical Care Pharmacotherapy Literature Update group
             (CCPLU), a national group of pharmacists who routinely
             monitor 25 peer-reviewed journals for emerging evidence that
             pertains to rational medication use in the intensive care
             unit (ICU) setting. From among those articles, 64 were
             summarized for dissemination to CCPLU members; the 8
             publications deemed to have the greatest utility for
             critical care practitioners, as determined by CCPLU through
             a voting process, were selected for inclusion in this
             review, with preference given to evidence meeting high
             standards of methodological quality. The summaries presented
             here include (1) important new recommendations on management
             of pain, agitation, and delirium in critically ill patients,
             (2) a comprehensive update of a practice guideline issued in
             2008 by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign, (3) novel strategies
             for the prevention and/or treatment of hyperglycemia in
             critical care, and (4) reports on clinical trials of
             promising alternative methods of sedation for use in weaning
             patients from mechanical ventilation.<h4>Conclusion</h4>This
             review provides synopses of practice guidelines and other
             recent additions to the professional literature pertaining
             to rational medication use in the ICU practice
             setting.},

   Abstract = {Unequal crossing-over (UCO) occurs when distinct loci
             similar in sequence undergo homologous recombination. UCO
             was inferred from a series of experiments on the Bar locus
             in Drosophila melanogaster, demonstrating that crossing-over
             occurred in conjunction with Bar locus mutations. The
             process may result in duplication and deletion of genetic
             material, formation of chimeric genes, and the generation of
             mobile extrachromosomal elements. Contemporary studies of
             newly abundant genomic data show multicellular genomes to be
             filled with gene families whose formation can best be
             understood through UCO. Primates have been found to have
             substantial copy number variation (CNV) generated through
             nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR), a type of UCO
             that occurs among highly similar sequences. The genetic
             variation produced is substantial, exceeding even
             single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on a per-base-pair
             basis. That variation has major genetic disease-generating
             capability but also provides new variation for evolutionary
             processes. UCO plays a central role in chromosomal
             rearrangements (inversions, translocations), gene
             duplication, and tandem duplication of functional and
             structural modules especially in multicellular organisms,
             generation of gene families, and generation of mobile
             genetic materials such as exons - all important sources of
             the genetic variation necessary for evolution.},

   Abstract = {Cooperativity subsumes a diverse set of phenomena, including
             ligand-protein, protein-protein, and protein-DNA
             interactions, covalent modification of proteins, membrane
             assembly, and protein folding. In its usual sense the
             allosteric interaction promotes (positive cooperativity) or
             reduces (negative cooperativity) the expected function of a
             macromolecular complex. The principal manifestation of
             cooperativity is a sigmoidal (S-shaped) binding or reaction
             rate (response) curve that facilitates a nearly bimodal
             change of state over a narrow range of a control variable
             upon which a response depends. Sigmoid curves are typically
             modeled by the Hill equation. Curves with Hill coefficients
             greater than (positive cooperativity) or less than (negative
             cooperativity) 1 are usually considered diagnostic of
             cooperativity, and, with their principal response in a
             narrow range, are reminiscent of switch-like behavior,
             although they transition continuously and in a state of
             equilibrium between their unactivated and activated form
             without bistability. Cooperativity is in widespread use in
             the economy of cells including metabolic control, cell cycle
             control, ligand binding and transport, genetic switches
             (bistability), signaling, threshold phenomena, development,
             protein folding, and membrane assembly. Mathematical
             expressions incorporating cooperativity are frequent
             components of mathematical models of cellular processes, and
             may also be translated into design elements of switches and
             oscillators in synthetic biology.},

   Abstract = {With a species diversity approaching 300 (Thorington and
             Hoffmann, 2005) and nearly worldwide in their distribution,
             squirrels are common and important elements of many
             ecological communities. The diurnal habits of most taxa
             together with their relative conformity in body plan make
             them familiar and easily recognized by both scientists and
             non-specialists. The squirrel family, Sciuridae, also has a
             long history of recognition by taxonomists as a coherent
             grouping, despite its comprising distinctive forms
             associated with use of different locomotor substrates (Table
             8.1). At times, burrowing or gliding forms have been
             separated from the archetypal arboreal squirrels: Fischer de
             Waldheim (1817), the authority credited for naming the
             Sciuridae (Thorington and Hoffmann, 2005), advocated use of
             limb structure in recognizing groups of mammals, and
             accordingly, he removed flying squirrels (‘Petauristus’,
             Fischer de Waldheim, 1817: p. 422) to another ‘Division’
             apart from ‘Familia Sciuriorum’ (p. 408), even though
             Linnaeus had placed flying squirrels together with tree and
             some ground squirrels under SCIURUS (Linnaeus, 1758: pp.
             63-64; see Table 8.1). Woodchucks and marmots have also
             posed something of a problem, to Linnaeus (1758:p. 60), who
             listed them under ‘MUS’, and to many subsequent authors
             who also set them apart from other sciurids. However, by
             late 1839 (according to Brandt, 1855: p. 106, and Alston,
             1876: p. 62) all of these animals had been combined by
             Waterhouse to form a version of Sciuridae that would be
             congruent with the modern concept of the family. Along the
             way, dormice (referred to as ‘Myoxus’) have often crept
             into lists of squirrels (e.g. Fischer de Waldheim, 1817, but
             not those of Linnaeus before him or Brandt subsequently),
             both their exclusion and their inclusion foreshadowing
             current views based on molecular evidence that dormice are
             distinct from sciurids but have closer affinities with them
             (plus aplodontids) than with other rodent families (e.g.
             Blanga-Kanfi et al., 2009; Churakov et al., 2010; Fabre et
             al., 2012).},
