…a $200 trillion economy, annual gas use could peak at 30 x 1012 m3, an order of magnitude above oil’s peak use. Absolute gas use should peak about the year 2060….
…is firm: some kind of take-off, albeit bumpy, did occur about 1700, and by 1900 the level of activity was an order of magnitude higher (Figure 1). Figure 1. Decadal…
…barcoding initiatives show average intraspecific variation in most animal species, whether saturniid moths or sand martins, is on the order of 0.5% or less. Here is my somewhat speculative set…
…researchers Mike Johnson, Rob Lasley, and Uwe Piatkowski, PHE’s Mark Stoeckle has created three beautiful Census of Marine Life stamps. Simply click on each stamp to order sheets from Zazzle….
…COI barcode region (615 bp) recovered the same 7 clades as the full 2475 bp. As in other studies, the branching order among clades and congenerics was better shown with…
…in CO2 emissions 1973-1987, the net annual +1.75 percent increase owed to population increase (+1.74), GDP per capita increase (+0.99), energy/GDP ratio decline (efficiency gains) (-0.59), and CO2/energy ratio decline (decarbonization)…
…mail-order identification services, analogous to today’s DNA ancestry companies, that do DNA barcode analysis of submitted specimens, and, as others have envisioned, soon enough there will be table-top or hand-held…
…Soviet system for delivering goods and services. On the theme of delivery of goods, a final, telling joke: It has always taken a very long time to order and receive…
…not be very useful to science. I should point out that for many dark barcodes, the sequences are public, are labeled with an order level identifier (e.g. Vertebrata) and BIN…
…and families correctly; however it generally does not contain enough information to establish branching order or uncover deeper-level associations that are the heart of phylogenetic study, so there is plenty…
