Natal philopatry does not lead to population genetic differentiation in Buller's albatross (Thalassarche bulleri bulleri).
TL;DR: Mark/recapture studies of recently banded albatross chicks on the Snares found high natal philopatry in T. b.

Variation in the biochemical properties of the Drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase allozymes
TL;DR: The results suggest that the Drosophila Adh variants may be grouped into two biochemical classes, typified by the properties of the two most common enzyme forms, ADH-F andADH-S.

Slow Estradiol-induced Vitellogenesis in the Tuatara, Sphenodon punctatus
Alison Cree,Louis J. Guillette,Mark Brown,Geoffrey K. Chambers,John F. Cockrem,John D. Newton +5 more
TL;DR: Estradiol-induced vitellogenesis in tuatara is slower to induce and may occur at a lower maximal rate than in other reptiles examined, and responses are probably explained by the cool body temperatures exhibited by tu atara.

High density lipoprotein (HDL), and not albumin, is the major palmitate binding protein in New Zealand long-finned (Anguilla dieffenbachii) and short-finned eel (Anguilla australis schmidtii) plasma
TL;DR: There was no evidence of albumin in plasma from either eel, and it appears that in its absence HDL takes on the role of fatty acid transport.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that Maori are genetically slower nicotine metabolisers compared to Europeans, which may help explain ethnic differences in smoking initiation and may also have important implications for smoking cessation programs.
