Landscape of transposable element polymorphism across geographically diverse samples of the grasshopper Trilophidia annulata
Background Transposable elements (TEs), often referred to as “jumping genes”, constitute a major fraction of eukaryotic genomes. TE polymorphism is increasingly recognized as an important source of genomic variation underlying geographic divergence and local adaptation. Orthoptera is the only insect lineage known to have undergone pronounced genome gigantism, largely driven by TE expansion.

China-U.S. differences in tie strength and job-search outcomes: a societal-cultural comparison
Particularism in China and universalism in the U.S. The point of departure for my argument is Bourdieu’s field-habitus theory. In this theory, the social world of modern life is understood as a mixture of relatively autonomous fields, or settings in which agents interact with one another in everyday practice under the constraints of the social positions they hold within those fields.
