Our central research focus concerns the large-scale diversity in cichlid visual systems and differences in the number of cone classes that participate in color vision.
The probability that a family will give rise to a new family usually has declined exponentially both within groups and overall, however, so that most groups tend to decline in large-scale diversity over time.
Despite the data shortcomings in this study (e.g., unbalanced sample distribution), we show the importance of generating biological global databases for the use in large-scale diversity comparisons of rocky intertidal assemblages to stimulate continued sampling and analyses.
"We are on the cusp of understanding how this large-scale diversity happened".
As intriguing as the idea of a generalized diversity pattern in marine communities may be, it is equally important to better understand large-scale diversity patterns for individual taxa and habitat types.
At a larger scale, beetle diversity in potatoes increased and community composition changed with increases in the amount of natural area within 1.5 km of the crop.
This is a large scale investigation of morphological diversity in Juniperus excelsa excelsa.
This work, as well as reporting the first large scale analysis of RGA diversity in M. acuminata Calcutta 4, described a primer design strategy for NBS-LRR RGAs across monocotyledonous genomes, and developed RFLP-RGA markers for genetic mapping.
Thus, as in humans, large scale AS in plants is likely to contribute to proteome and phenotypic diversity.
It is the first large-scale, in-depth look at diversity in UK publishing in 10 years, but despite the raft of initiatives that addressed the "disturbing evidence of institutional bias" revealed in 2004's In Full Colour report, "an old mono-culture still prevails" in publishing, said director of Spread the Word Sue Lawther, with things "as bad, or possibly even worse, than we imagined".
That increased functional connectivity leads to greater genetic diversity is expected and was also detected in a large scale study of P. coridon [ 30].
