We introduce a new empirical amino-acid substitution model intended for use with for green plant (Viridiplantae) chloroplast protein data, which we call gcpREV (green chloroplast reversible model). Relative exchange rates and base composition frequencies among amino-acids were calculated using a Markov-chain Monte Carlo analysis on a combined data set of 34 proteins sampled among 27 taxa of green. 2013.

  3. Diversity of the candidate phylum Poribacteria in the marine sponge Aplysina fulva. Poribacterial clone libraries constructed for Aplysina fulva sponge specimens were analysed with respect to diversity and phylogeny. Results imply the coexistence of several, prevalently "intra-specific" poribacterial genotypes in a single sponge host, and suggest quantitative analysis as a desirable approach in studies of the diversity and distribution of poribacterial cohorts in marine sponges.. 2013.
