The biogeography of three Boeckella species (Copepoda: Calanoida) in New Zealand

The New Zealand distributions of three species of Boeckella (Copepoda, Calanoida), B. triarticulata, B. dilatata and B. hamata are mapped. B. triarticulata is primarily a pond dweller but is also found in reservoirs and shallow lakes. B. dilatata is mainly found in the deeper glacial lakes and ponds in the central region of the South Island and B. hamata has a more widespread distribution in lakes and ponds in the South Island and lower half of the North Island. Differences in temperature optima, food requirements and dispersal ability among the three Boeckella species are related to vicariant events to explain their distribution in New Zealand.     

Convergence of genetic distances in a migration matrix model

A recurring problem with the use of migration matrix models of genetic differentiation has to do with their convergence properties. In practice, predictions can be drawn from these models only at equilibrium; but in the case of the standard predictors (most of which are modifications of Wright's FST), it can take an unrealistically large number of generations to approach equilibrium. An alternative set of predictors, the set of all pairwise genetic distances among the populations that define the rows and columns of the migration matrix, is investigated here. These distances are shown analytically to converge much more rapidly than the more commonly used predictors. In an application of the model to migration data on a human population from Papua New Guinea, it takes only about three to four generations for the pairwise distances to converge, in contrast to more than 100 generations for one of the standard predictors. In this case, moreover, the distances predicted by the model at equilibrium are similar to those calculated from the available genetic data.     

The isolation and characterization of ngm2, a mutation that affects nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis in yeast

Summary We have isolated and characterized a new mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, carrying a single mutant allele that we designate ngm2-1, which is defective with respect to induced mutagenesis. This mutant was isolated by screening mutagenized clones for reduced frequencies of reversion of the his1-7 allele, induced by N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. As judged by the reversion of his1-7 and ilv1-92, ngm2-1 mutant strains are also deficient with respect to mutability induced by methyl methane sulfonate, ethyl methane sulfonate and, at least partially, by UV. UV-induced reversion of the ochre mutation arg4-17 and the frameshift mutation his4-38 was not much affected by ngm2-1, however. Like rev3 and rev7 mutations, ngm2-1 also has little influence on the reversion of the proline missense allele, cyc1-115. Ngm2-1 mutants are only at best very slightly more sensitive to the toxicity of the four mutagens used, and homozygous diploids sporulate normally.     

CSF distribution of morphine, methadone and sucrose after intrathecal injection

The lumbar to cisternal CSF distribution of morphine and methadone were compared to C-14 sucrose, a standard marker of CSF bulk flow, after lumbar subarachnoid injections in a sheep preparation. Morphine appeared and peaked simultaneously with C-14 sucrose in cisternal CSF at 90 to 190 minutes. The mean peak cisternal CSF morphine concentrations were sustained for 30-40 minutes, and averaged 148 ng/ml, representing 0.3% of the administered dose. Methadone was not detectable in cisternal CSF up to 240-300 minutes after lumbar subarachnoid administration. The C-14 sucrose/morphine ratio was increased an average of 6.7 times in cisternal CSF as compared to the ratio of the two compounds injected into the lumbar subarachnoid space. These studies demonstrate that morphine, a hydrophilic opioid, given intrathecally moves rostrally and appears in cisternal CSF by bulk flow. Furthermore the rostral redistribution of morphine is associated with the clearance of morphine from CSF. Methadone, a lipophilic opioid, appears to be completely cleared from CSF before it reaches the cisterna magna. These pharmacokinetic studies support a contribution of supraspinal sites to the analgesic and adverse effects produced by morphine given by spinal routes of administration. In contrast methadone appears to exert its effects predominantly at spinal sites.
