- 15 October 2004
The apparent biotic affinities between the mainland and the island in the Western Ghats–Sri Lanka biodiversity hotspot have been interpreted as the result of frequent migrations during recent periods… Expand
A hotspot of gene order rearrangement by tandem duplication and random loss in the vertebrate mitochondrial genome.
- Diego San Mauro, D. Gower, R. Zardoya, M. Wilkinson
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 2006
Most reported examples of change in vertebrate mitochondrial (mt) gene order could be explained by a tandem duplication followed by random loss of redundant genes (tandem duplication-random loss… Expand

Postcranial anatomy of the rauisuchian archosaur Batrachotomus kupferzellensis
ABSTRACT Batrachotomus kupferzellensis is an upper Middle Triassic (Late Ladinian) rauisuchian archosaur. The postcranial skeleton of this species is well-represented by fossil material, including… Expand
Dissecting the major American snake radiation: A molecular phylogeny of the Dipsadidae Bonaparte (Serpentes, Caenophidia).
- N. Vidal, Maël Dewynter, D. Gower
- Biology, Medicine
- Comptes rendus biologies

The Dipsadidae contains more than 700 extant species belonging to 92 genera and is the largest family of American snakes. In this work, we built a data set including two mitochondrial genes (12S and… Expand
Hyperthermia protects against light damage in the rat retina.
An increase in the synthesis of heat shock proteins that is induced in cells in vitro by hyperthermia or other types of metabolic stress correlates with enhanced cell survival upon further stress. To… Expand
