The study of islands as model systems has played an important role in the development of
evolutionary and ecological theory. The 50th anniversary of MacArthur and Wilson's (…

The clinical manifestations of coronary artery anomalies vary in severity, with some
anomalies causing severe symptoms and cardiovascular sequelae and others being benign. …

Characterizing the population history of a species and identifying loci underlying local adaptation
is crucial in functional ecology, evolutionary biology, conservation and agronomy. The …

Purpose: To compare image quality and patient radiation dose in a group of patients who
underwent 64-detector computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography performed with …

The introduction of avian malaria (Plasmodium relictum) to Hawaii has provided a model
system for studying the influence of exotic disease on naive host populations. Little is known, …

A corollary of island biogeographical theory is that islands are largely colonized from their
nearest mainland source. Despite Madagascar’s extreme isolation from India and proximity to …

Colonization, speciation and extinction are dynamic processes that influence global
patterns of species richness 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 – 6 . Island biogeography theory predicts that the …

Background and Aims Pollinator-mediated selection and evolution of floral traits have long
fascinated evolutionary ecologists. No other plant family shows as wide a range of pollinator-…

… This work formed part of the PhD of Ben Warren who is currently involved in postdoctoral
research into processes giving rise to the high species richness of Africa's Cape Flora. …

Background Oceanic islands provide unique scenarios for studying the roles of geography
and ecology in driving population divergence and speciation. Assessing the relative …
