Background: Medical students and doctors are rarely taught how to be educators, but are expected to perform the role of clinical teacher once qualified (Kloek AT, Van Zijl ACM, ten Cate OTJ, Perspect Med Educ. 5:325-331, 2016). Qureshi (Perspect Med Edu 3:69-72, 2014) suggests that development of teaching skills should be incorporated into the undergraduate medical curriculum, while Charnell et al.

Yet, their speciation and colonization histories are often obscured by conflicting genomic signals from incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) or hybridization. Here, we integrated mitogenomes and genome-wide SNPs to unravel the evolutionary history of one of the world's most geographically widespread island radiations.

The reported incidences vary across literature and clinical populations and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Management of AP is best carried out by a multidisciplinary team.

The Bachman's warbler (Vermivora bachmanii) is hypothesized to have gone extinct due to loss of its specialized habitat. However, little is known about other potential contributing factors such as natural rarity or changes to connectivity following habitat fragmentation.
