MSBAYES: PIPELINE FOR TESTING COMPARATIVE PHYLOGEOGRAPHIC HISTORIES USING HIERARCHICAL APPROXIMATE BAYESIAN COMPUTATION

msBayes: Pipeline for testing comparative phylogeographic histories using hierarchical approximate Bayesian computation

Abstract Background Although testing for simultaneous divergence (vicariance) across different population-pairs that span the same barrier to gene flow is of central importance to evolutionary biology, researchers often equate the gene tree and population/species tree thereby ignoring stochastic coalescent variance in their conclusions of temporal

Distinct wind convergence patterns in the Mexico City basin due to the interaction of the gap winds with the synoptic flow

Mexico City lies in a high altitude basin where air quality and pollutant fate is strongly influenced by local winds.The combination of high terrain with weak synoptic forcing leads to weak and variable winds with complex circulation patterns.A gap wind entering the basin in the afternoon leads to very different wind convergence lines over the city
