Effects of mode of reproduction on genetic polymorphism and divergence in wild yams (Dioscoreaceae: Dioscorea) by Xin Wang, Qing-Hong Feng, Zhi-Hua Zeng, Zhi-Qiang Zhang, Jie Cai, Gao Chen, De-Zhu Li, Hong Wang, Wei Zhou

“…In contrast, species with mixed reproductive strategies involving both seed and clonal reproduction showed no evidence of an increased fixation of harmful mutations at the divergence level, while an accumulation of genetic load present in polymorphism was evident. Our study indicates that the genetic consequences of evolutionary transitions from sexual to predominantly clonal reproduction is likely to depend on both the duration and extent of asexuality occurring in populations.…”

INVESTIGATING THE COST EFFECTIVENESS OF BIODIESEL DISTRIBUTION IN INDONESIA by Herbert Wibert Victor Hasudungan, Elis Heviati, Sulthon Sjahril Sabaruddin, Sigit Hargiyanto

“…Based on primary data and information obtained from experts, we found that the most dominant factors that affect the shipping distribution cost are the size of the ship and its activities (such as voyage, ballast, loading, discharge, waiting, and buffer), whilst for the trucking mode, the dominant factors are both its corresponding operational costs and investment costs. …”

Dynamic land-plant carbon sources in marine sediments inferred from ancient DNA by Ulrike Herzschuh, Josefine Friederike Weiß, Kathleen R. Stoof-Leichsenring, Lars Harms, Dirk Nürnberg, Juliane Müller

“…We also find that plant sedimentary ancient DNA has a higher burial rate in samples from the Late Glacial, which is characterized by high runoff and mineral load. This study provides an approach to understanding the global linkages between the terrestrial and marine carbon cycle, highlighting the need for further research to quantify the processes of DNA preservation and dispersal in marine sediments.…”
