Heterobasidion parviporum is the most devastating fungal pathogen of conifer forests in Northern Europe.The fungus has dual life strategies, necrotrophy on living trees and saprotrophy on dead woods.DNA cytosine methylation is an important epigenetic modification in eukaryotic organisms.Our presumption is that the lifestyle transition and asexual d
Conflict Resolution for Mesozoic Mammals: Reconciling Phylogenetic Incongruence Among Anatomical Regions
The evolutionary history of Mesozoic mammaliaformes is well studied.Although the backbone of their phylogeny is well resolved, the placement of ecologically specialized groups has remained uncertain.Functional and developmental covariation has long been identified as an important source of phylogenetic error, yet combining incongruent morphological

Dexterous Estimation of Population Mean in Survey Sampling Under Non-Response Error
In this scripture, we ponder the problem of efficient estimation of population mean of study variable utilizing information on highly correlated auxiliary variables under the presence of non-response on either of the variables.For this purpose, we suggest, an improved estimator under three different situations of non-response.Under the first situat
