Hawaiian Honeycreeper Phylogeny
The Poouli (Melamprosops phaeosoma) was discovered in 1973 by a group or students from the University of Hawaii. Its membership in the Hawaiian honeycreeper clade was (until recently) controversial, mainly because its appearance and behavior are so different from other living honeycreepers. Its particularly lacked the “old tent” odor characteristic of other honeycreepers.
In 2011, Heather Lerner and her colleagues deciphered phylogeny of the 19 Hawaiian honeycreepers that were not yet officially declared to be extinct at the time, including the Poouli. The researchers sequenced mitochondrial and nuclear DNA samples taken from the honeycreepers, and also from 28 other birds (outgroups). Phylogenetic analysis of these data firmly establishes the Poouli as a member of the clade, and also reveals the Eurasian rosefinch as the clade’s closest relative (FIGURE 18.11).
FIGURE 18.11 Hawaiian honeycreeper phylogeny. This cladogram was constructed using sequence comparisons of mitochondrial DNA (whole genome), and 13 nuclear DNA loci of 19 Hawaiian honeycreeper and 28 other finch species.

Discussion entries must be at least 250 words to fulfill the assignment
requirements. You must complete your entry before you will be able to see the
responses of other students. Responses to other students are encouraged but not

concepts, proper grammar, and correct punctuation.
Read one the attached article and explore the Human Development Index
(https://hdr.undp.org/data-center/human-development-index#/indicies/HDI).
In your opinion, is the Human Development Index a good measure of the well-
being of the people of a nation? Are the items measured in the HDI valid and
relevant in the modern global economy? How are they related to the political
economy of a nation?
The attached articles propose some alternative measures of well-being. In your
opinion, are there other measures of well-being that might be better alternatives
to the items in the current HDI?
A patient visits her doctor with symptoms typical of a bladder infection. She is immediately prescribed an 800 mgdose of antibiotic (bioavailability = 1/2, t½ = 12 h). The corresponding plasma concentration of drug is found to be 96 micrograms/ml. What is the volume of distribution of this drug? Please round to the nearest liter.

Operation: Arthroscopic subtotal medial meniscectomy, left knee Anesthetic: General endotracheal Description of Procedure: The patient was placed on the operating table in the supine position and general endotracheal anesthesia was administered. After an adequate level of anesthesia was achieved, the patient's left lower extremity was prepped with Betadine scrubbing solution, then draped in a sterile manner. Several sites were then infiltrated with 1% Xylocaine solution with Epinephrine to help control bleeding from stab wounds to be made at these sites.
