The dramatic rise of smartphones has profound implications for survey research. Namely, can become a viable and comparable device self-administered surveys? current study is based on approximately 1,500 online U.S. panelists who were smartphone users randomly assigned to the mobile app or computer mode survey. Within survey, we embedded several experiments that had been previously tested in other modes (mail, PC web, web). First, test whether responses are sensitive particular experimental...

Tomato and its processed products are one of the most widely consumed fruits. Its domestication, however, has resulted in loss some 95% genetic chemical diversity wild relatives. In order to elucidate this diversity, exploit potential for plant breeding, as well understand biological significance, analytical approaches have been developed, alongside production crosses relatives with commercial varieties. article, we describe a multi-platform metabolomic analysis, using NMR, mass spectrometry...

Filling the Void: Gaining a Better Understanding of Tablet-Based Surveys online surveys on mobile devices "Survey respondents are increasingly attempting to take their devices, whether researchers intend for this or not" ((Cazes et al. 2011), p. 2).Approximately 50 percent US adults own smartphone (Nielsen 201 2; Smith 2012), and approximately 20 tablet (Rain ie 2012).These trends have serious implications surveys, especially that designed specifically computer screen not modified,...

Abstract Big genera represent a significant proportion of the world's plants. However, comprehensive taxonomic and evolutionary studies these are often complicated by their size geographic spread. This paper explores challenges faced in classifying megadiverse plant groups consequent to existing tension between diagnosability increasing levels resolution from molecular sequence data. We use recent examples across angiosperms illustrate how monophyly, completeness interplay with each other...

The origin of sweetpotato, a hexaploid species, is poorly understood, partly because the identity its tetraploid progenitor remains unknown. In this study, we identify, describe and characterize new species Ipomoea that sweetpotato's closest relative known to date probably direct descendant progenitor. We integrate morphological, phylogenetic, genomic analyses herbarium germplasm accessions diploid trifida, various plants closely related them from across American continent. identify wild...

The date palm, Phoenix dactylifera, has been a cornerstone of Middle Eastern and North African agriculture for millennia. It was first domesticated in the Persian Gulf, its evolution appears to have influenced by gene flow from two wild relatives, P. theophrasti, currently restricted Crete Turkey, sylvestris, widespread Bangladesh West Himalayas. Genomes ancient palm seeds show that theophrasti dactylifera may occurred ∼2,200 years ago, but traces sylvestris could not be detected. We here...

Research on Facebook users is often based small convenience samples and usage data collected through survey self-reports. The current research contributes to user research, as it a large, nationally representative, probability-based, U.S. sample with Internet from meters. Results revealed that 50% of members are recent users. However, within this group, there wide variation in amount between heavy, medium, light Finally, multivariate analysis, significantly more likely be women, teens,...

Species are crucial to most branches of biological research, yet remain controversial in terms definition, delimitation, and reality. The difficulty resolving the "species problem" stems from tension between their theoretical concept as groups evolving highly variable organisms practical need for a stable comparable unit biology. Here, we suggest that treating species heuristic can be consistent with definition what means by which they identified delimited. Specifically, theoretically since...

The description of a new species is key step in cataloguing the World's flora. However, this only preliminary stage long process understanding what that represents. We investigated how discovery takes by focusing on three stages: 1, collection first specimen; 2, publication name; and 3, date when minimum number 15 accurately named specimens are available. quantified time lags associated with these stages for several groups plants different numbers from regions, including 20 most species-rich...

Summary Systematic monographs are an important tool for understanding biodiversity. However, while papers that outline systematic methods biogeography, phylogenetics and diversification commonplace, cover monographic taxonomic research rare. In this paper, we describe how conducted a study of Ipomoea , drawing attention to the resources made use practical steps took, with particular focus on integrated results from molecular morphological analyses. The monograph provided framework range...
