Biology, Bioinformatics, Bioengineering, Biophysics, Biostatistics, Neuroscience, Medicine, Ophthalmology, and Dentistry This section contains links to textbooks, books, and articles in digital libraries of several publishers (Springer, Elsevier, Wiley, etc.). Most links will work without login on any campus (or remotely using the institution’s VPN) where the institution (company) subscribes to those digital libraries. For De Gruyter and the associated university presses (Chicago, Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, etc.) you may have to go through your institution’s library portal first. A red title indicates an excellent item, and a blue title indicates a very good (often introductory) item. A purple year of publication is a warning sign. Titles of Open Access (free access) items are colored green. The library is being converted to conform to the university virtual library model that I developed. This section of the library was updated on 06 September 2021.

The word semantics has Greek roots1 and was first used in linguistics. Here, one distinguishes among syntax, the study of the structure of lan- guages, semantics, the study of meaning, and pragmatics, the study of the use of language. In computer science we make a similar distinction between syntax and se- mantics. The languages that we are interested in are programming languages in a very general sense. The ‘meaning’ of a program is its behaviour, and for this reason programming language semantics is the part of programming language theory devoted to the study of program behaviour. Programming language semantics is concerned only with purely internal aspects of program behaviour, namely what happens within a running pro- gram. Program semantics does not claim to be able to address other aspects of program behaviour – e.g.

U Acknowledgements Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination. -Bertrand Russell Gibran Khalil Gibran once argued that a pundit spends his life in the pursuit of knowledge, but if one day he said I have had it all, then this would be the moment of his utmost ignorance. In life, in this very journey, we all share the same start of nascence and the inevitable destination of death, yet the path one takes to complete this voyage is essentially different from one another. Many factors could influence shaping these routes, and serendipity was central in moulding mine! It all started when I have first heard the story of Phineas Gage - the most famous brain-injury survivor - at the master’s defense of my eldest neurosurgeon brother.

For example, several drosophilids and other ectotherms increase in body and wing size at higher latitudes. Here we compare evolution in an ancestral European and a recently introduced (North America) cline in wing size and shape in Drosophila subobscura.We show that clinal variation in wing size, spanning more than 15 degrees of latitude, has evolved in less than two decades. In females from Europe and North America, the clines are statistically indistinguishable however the cline for North American males is significantly shallower than that for European males. We document that while overall patterns of wing size are similar on two continents, the European cline is obtained largely through changing the proximal portion of the wing, whereas the North American cline is largely in the distal portion. We use data from sites collected in 1986/1988 (Pegueroles et al. 1995) and our 1997 collections to compare synchronic (divergence between contemporary populations that share a common ancestor) and allochronic (changes over time within a population) estimates of the rates of evolution.

I view Professor Abbott as an international leader in the areas of plant hybridization and phylogeography. His work is notable for its high quality, thoroughness, and careful and nuanced interpretations of results. Also, included in this nomination package is a letter of support from Corresponding Member Dianne Edwards CBE FRS, who is a Distinguished Research Professor at Cardiff University, along with Richard’s CV. Below I highlight several of Prof. Abbott’s most important contributions, as well as the characteristics of his work that I particularly admire. Prof. Abbott is probably best known for his careful elucidation of the reticulate history of Senecio (ragworts and groundsels) of the British Isles. His studies of the Senecio system have combined careful analyses of historical plant distribution records in the UK, with data from ecological experiments, developmental genetics, and population genetic and genomic analyses. This multidisciplinary approach is powerful, and Prof. Abbot’s work has revealed several examples of plant speciation in real time (and there aren’t very many of these). Key findings include (1) the discovery and careful documentation of the homoploid hybrid origin of the Oxford
