Research grade marijuana supplied by the National Institute on Drug Abuse is genetically divergent from commercially available<i>Cannabis</i> Open
Public comfort with Cannabis (marijuana and hemp) has recently increased, resulting in previously strict Cannabis regulations now allowing hemp cultivation, medical use, and in some states, recreational consumption. There is a growing inte…

DNA Barcodes from Snake Venom: a Broadly Applicable Method for Extraction of DNA from Snake Venoms Open
DNA barcoding is a simple technique used to develop a large-scale system of classification that is broadly applicable across a wide variety of taxa. DNA-based analysis of snake venoms can provide a system of classification independent of c…

Phylogeography and genetic structure of endemic <i>Acmispon argophyllus</i> and <i>A. dendroideus</i> (Fabaceae) across the California Channel Islands Open
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Taxa inhabiting the California Channel Islands exhibit variation in their degree of isolation, but few studies have considered patterns across the entire archipelago. We studied phylogeography of insular Acmispon argo…

Narrow water barriers prevent multiple colonizations and limit gene flow among California Channel Island wild buckwheats (<i>Eriogonum</i>: Polygonaceae) Open
The relative roles of chance colonization and subsequent gene flow in the development of insular endemic biotas have been extensively studied in remote oceanic archipelagos, but are less well characterized on nearshore island systems. The …
