A Multiscale Approach To Understanding The Shared Blue-Orange Flower Color Polymorphism In Two Lysimachia Species, Mercedes Sánchez-Cabrera, Eduardo Narbona, Montserrat Arista, Pedro L. Ortiz, Francisco J. Jiménez-López, Amelia A. Fuller, Benjamin Carter, Justen B. Whittall

Chemistry and Biochemistry

Background
Polymorphisms are common in nature, but they are rarely shared among closely related species. Polymorphisms could originate through convergence, ancestral polymorphism, or introgression. Although shared neutral genomic variation across species is commonplace, few examples of shared functional traits exist. The blue-orange petal color polymorphisms in two closely related species, Lysimachia monelli and L. arvensis were investigated with UV-vis reflectance spectra, flavonoid biochemistry, and transcriptome comparisons followed by climate niche analysis.

Results
Similar color morphs between species have nearly identical reflectance spectra, flavonoid biochemistry, and ABP gene expression patterns. Transcriptome comparisons reveal two orange-specific genes directly involved in both blue-orange …

Hydrodynamic Performance Of An Oil Rig-Oscillating Water Column In Low Wave Climate, Awliya Shukri, Eric Joseph Peireira, Teh Hee Min

Platform: A Journal of Engineering

The oscillating water column (OWC) device is one of the most promising ocean wave energy extraction technologies. Most OWC studies focus on high-wave density areas, but there is limited research in low-wave density regions. This study evaluates the hydrodynamic efficiency of a 1:40 scale offshore OWC model in low-wave climates. Experiments were conducted using five different relative gaps (i/d) between the model and horizontal bottom plates, each with three distinct shapes (cone-shaped, circular-shaped, and flat), across seven wave periods in a wave flume. Hydrodynamic performance was measured through the amplification factor (Ai), which is defined as the ratio of water …
