29 Wu, Yong-ShiWu repliesThe preceding Comment [1] on my Letter [2] and Haldane?s Letter [3] cites three old papers by Anghel [4], which contained an unfounded claim that the thermodynamics derived in Ref.

[3], is physically inconsis...Quantum states; Quasiparticle excitation; Species; Subspecies; Species subdivision2010
30 Lupton, John MarkHyperfine-field-mediated spin beating in electrostatically bound charge carrier pairsOrganic semiconductors offer a unique environment to probe the hyperfine coupling of electronic spins to a nuclear spin bath.

47 Clayton, Dale H.Ecoimmunity in Darwin's finches: invasive parasites trigger acquired immunity in the medium ground finch (Geospiza fortis)Invasive parasites pose a serious threat to native animal populations, because hosts with no history of exposure may lack effective immune defenses. Invasive parasites are a particular threat to small, island populations [1,2]. For example, introduced malaria (Plasmodium relictum) has exacerbated t...Darwins finches; Ecoimmunity; Acquired immunity; Medium ground finch; Geospiza fortis; Invasive parasites; Novel parasites; Poxvirus avium; Nest flies; Philornis downsi2010-01-06
