Abstract Deleterious mutations are ubiquitous in natural populations and, when expressed, reduce fitness. However, the specific nature of these mutations and the ways in which they impact fitness remain poorly understood. We exploited recent advances in genomics to predict deleterious mutations in the black grouse (Lyrurus tetrix), an iconic lekking species.
The effect of the blending of crude oils on fouling propensity was investigated to determine the extent to which compatibility of crude oils influences fouling. In this study, fouling testing was performed for a series of crude oil blends with diverse compatibility as measured using a titration method. After testing, fouling deposits were recovered and analyzed. For the studied blends, the results show that compatibility is the driving force for fouling propensity.
