    Notes: The photochemistry of an appropriately substituted bisimide has been studied in solution by conventional means and time resolved laser techniques as a model for the behavior of inherently photosensitive solvent soluble polyimides, whose photochemistry are not well understood. A mechanism for the photochemical insolubilization of the polymer systems is suggested based on the results for the model system, which is confirmed by time resolved laser studies of polyimide solutions. Phosphorescence quenching rate constants for the model compound indicate that the triplet excited state is about one order of magnitude more reactive than triplet benzophenone, an increase most likely due to the inductive effect of the imide moieties.

    Notes: The kinetics of the natural and accelerated photo-oxidation of low-denisty polyethylene (LDPE) films have been studied; different geographical locations have been selected for the natural tests, and a range of temperatures used in the accelerated experiments in a specially built temperature-controlled ultraviolet radiation enclosure. A meaningful correlation between natural and accelerated weathering results was established, by means of an adequate superposition of the effects of UV radiation exposure and temperature. Reasonably detailed and accurate, lumped-parameter, kinetic models of the photo-oxidation process have also been developed, to interpret and predict the results of measurements of carbonyl, hydroperoxide and vinyl absorbances as functions of time and temperature; the models predict the general experimental behaviour, and also that both the formation of hydroperoxides and carbonyl Norrish-I reactions are important initiation steps. More complex models have the potential of interpreting other fine details of the degradation behaviour, namely the generation of other chemical species, and the chain scission and cross-linking process which are directly related to changes in the mechanical properties.

    Adaptive introgression underlies polymorphic seasonal camouflage in snowshoe hares (2018)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    In: Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-06-22
    Description: Snowshoe hares ( Lepus americanus ) maintain seasonal camouflage by molting to a white winter coat, but some hares remain brown during the winter in regions with low snow cover. We show that cis-regulatory variation controlling seasonal expression of the Agouti gene underlies this adaptive winter camouflage polymorphism. Genetic variation at Agouti clustered by winter coat color across multiple hare and jackrabbit species, revealing a history of recurrent interspecific gene flow. Brown winter coats in snowshoe hares likely originated from an introgressed black-tailed jackrabbit allele that has swept to high frequency in mild winter environments. These discoveries show that introgression of genetic variants that underlie key ecological traits can seed past and ongoing adaptation to rapidly changing environments.

    Winter color polymorphisms identify global hot spots for evolutionary rescue from climate change (2018)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    In: Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-03-06
    Description: Maintenance of biodiversity in a rapidly changing climate will depend on the efficacy of evolutionary rescue, whereby population declines due to abrupt environmental change are reversed by shifts in genetically driven adaptive traits. However, a lack of traits known to be under direct selection by anthropogenic climate change has limited the incorporation of evolutionary processes into global conservation efforts. In 21 vertebrate species, some individuals undergo a seasonal color molt from summer brown to winter white as camouflage against snow, whereas other individuals remain brown. Seasonal snow duration is decreasing globally, and fitness is lower for winter white animals on snowless backgrounds. Based on 2713 georeferenced samples of known winter coat color—from eight species across trophic levels—we identify environmentally driven clinal gradients in winter coat color, including polymorphic zones where winter brown and white morphs co-occur. These polymorphic zones, underrepresented by existing global protected area networks, indicate hot spots for evolutionary rescue in a changing climate.
