DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism for phenotypic diversification in all forms of life.We previously described remarkable cell-to-cell heterogeneity in epigenetic pattern within a clonal population Boonie Hat of Streptococcus pneumoniae, a leading human pathogen.We here report that the epigenetic diversity is caused by extensive D

We studied discrete and quantitative data from 88 specimens of the subgenus Mimon previously identified as Mimon bennettii (Gray, 1838) and M.cozumelae Goldman, 1914 from diverse parts of their range.Our data indicate that specimens of Mimon bennetii in Brazil presented geographic variation in morphometrical characters and mosaic variation in quali

This work summarizes a program intended to unify three burgeoning branches of the high-energy astrophysics of relativistic jets: general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations of ever-increasing dynamical range, the microphysical theory of particle acceleration under relativistic conditions, and multiwavelength observations resolving

The culture trap is the tendency to put cultural markers and habits above the demands of reason or compassion.It can reduce receptivity to new ideas and trigger Phoenix Cycles of catastrophe and renaissance.System research is then complicated by the historiographic problem of continuity and change, because there are no objective criteria for decidi
