Each micro-species has given up sex as a messy waste of time and reproduces by cloning.
Apomictic groups have taken the odd evolutionary path of dividing up their genetic variability between micro-species rather than between individuals.
Along with the dandelion and many other plants, the blackberry is an "apomictic" group with each member within it forming a micro-species.
The upshot of all this for the forager is that he or she should find a spot where one of the more productive micro-species grows and stick to it.
The Botanical Society of the British Isles lists no fewer than 350 micro-species of blackberry, from Rubus acclivitatum to R. wolley-dodii, though there may be 2,000 world-wide.
Although the number of cosmopolitan micro-species examined for phylogeographic structure is still very small, we suggest that it would be very unwise to assume a priori that radically different evolutionary processes are operating on their phylogeography than those on macro-organisms.
The suitability of selected micro algal species for various final products, and the potential of different strains for abating environmental problems are discussed.
The objective of the present study was to carry out the efficacy of micro algal species, such as Chaetoceros sp., Tetraselmis sp., Isochrysis sp, on shrimp growth, survival and body composition.
Two micro algal species namely Chlorella vulgaris (C1) and Chlorella sp. (C2) were selected for the viability of bio-oil production by transesterification in the presence of Ni/H2 catalyst supported with Ni II -Schiff base chelate promotor.
Begonia is a mega-diverse genus of flowering plants prone to generating micro-endemic species, especially on limestone habitats.
The micro-endemic species C. cereifera showed high nutrient use efficiency, which enables it to colonize impoverished sandy soils.
