Report Exposes Rot In Middle East Studies Centers, Connection to CRT
Neetu Arnold, Senior Research Associate of the National Association of Scholars (NAS) has done what amounts to an expose of the politicization of campus Middle East studies centers. What began as – let’s say, a coincidence of timing between generous Arab donations to university study centers offering a pro-Arab, anti-Israel…

Frontiers | Divergence With Gene Flow and Contrasting Population Size Blur the Species Boundary in Cycas Sect. Asiorientales, as Inferred From Morphology and RAD-Seq Data
Introduction Incipient species are critical for evolutionary biologists to study speciation, but they also challenge taxonomy due to gene flow or ancestral polymorphism. The former and contrasting population size lead to larger intraspecific than interspecific variations, a phenomenon called the species-definition anomaly zone (Jiao and Yang, 2021). The latter results…
Substitution model selection in BEAST
Substitution model selection in BEAST 1 I have constructed phylogenomic tree using the protein-coding genes of plant mitogenome using maximum likelihood method. Now I want to compare it using Bayesian method using BEAST. The alignment file is amino acids instead of DNA. What is the best recommendation of substitution model…

Pollinator sharing, copollination, and speciation by host shifting among six closely related dioecious fig species
Sampling Six dioecious fig species (F. erecta, F. formosana, F. vaccinioides, F. abelii, F. pyriformis, and F. variolosa) and their pollinator wasp species were examined in this study. As mentioned in the Introduction, these fig species were considered to be well suited for this study because they are distributed in…

Introducing CreateAPI | kean.blog
If you’ve tried OpenAPI spec generators, you know how it goes. They get you about 60-80% there, but you end up having to modify the code by hand. For one of the specs (GitHub REST API spec), a popular code generator I tried produced more than 300 compile-time errors. With…

Scientists Set Sights On Wooly Mammoth Revival
If science fiction has taught us anything over the years, it’s that there stands an inherent danger whenever humankind decides to play God. And yet the temptation to seek progress, to satiate curiosity, and gain knowledge is often too strong to ignore. Sometimes, these desires can lead to some truly fascinating innovations….
