with other breeding systems in Lauraceae. Results would provide steady evidence to define gynodioecious on Lauraceae as well to define the phylogenetic association with other mating systems in the O. complex. Hypotheses: H1: Gynodioecism is a reproductive system occurring species described in O. H2: Dimorphic species described in the O. complex are result of gynodioecism H3: Gynodioecious species belonging to the O. complex are related among them. Chapter 2. This chapter is focused in…

United States alone (Hayes et al, 2010). Atrazine is used so frequently because it is cheap and it increases crop yield. However, it has been found that atrazine in levels even as low as 2 ppb (parts per billion) can have adverse effects on the reproductive systems of many vertebrates, which includes humans (Hayes et al, 2010). According to Hayes et al’s research (2010), 10% of male African clawed frogs that were induced with 2.5 ppb of Atrazine became females. These feminized African clawed…
