PHYLOGENETIC AND MORPHOLOGICAL DISCORD INDICATES INTROGRESSIVE HYBRIDISATION IN TWO GENERA OF AUSTRALIAN MILLIPEDES (DIPLOPODA, POLYDESMIDA, PARADOXOSOMATIDAE)

Phylogenetic and morphological discord indicates introgressive hybridisation in two genera of Australian millipedes (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Paradoxosomatidae)

Discord between molecular CBT and morphological datasets was observed in two pairs of species of Australian millipedes in the family Paradoxosomatidae using morphological and molecular phylogenetic analysis (mitochondrial COI rDNA and 16 rRNA, and nuclear 28S rRNA).Close to the presumed distributional boundary between Pogonosternum nigrovirgatum (C

Economic aspects of virtual water trade

Although water is rarely traded over long distances by itself, the total weight of the water consumed to produce traded commodities exceeds the weight of any other commodity traded in the world.This concept is known as virtual water trade.Although space-/time-/commodity-based quantification has been conducted extensively, the underlying causes of t
