“…This possible introduction from the Azores should be confirmed with more comprehensive sampling and additional DNA sequence information to provide a robust phylogenetic framework. We suggest that this introduction could have been associated with commerce with Britain after the arrival of the first settlers in the Azores (1420–1430) (Andrews, ). This explanation is feasible, given the remarkable plasticity of this species in adapting to feeding on many different plants.…”

Aim To obtain nuclear and mitochondrial phylogenies of Macaronesian Rhopalomesites weevils and test the monophyly and time of origin of two species groups feeding on Euphorbiaceae and other plants. Additionally, to investigate the population structure within species, and its associations with geographical isolation versus trophic selection.Location Macaronesian Islands and the British Isles.Methods Maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses were undertaken using mitochondrial (cox1 and cytb) and nuclear (ITS-2 and 28S RNA) genomic sequences. Ancestral Rhopalomesites host plant associations and divergence times were inferred from Bayesian analyses and population data.Results Evidence was found for two Rhopalomesites clades. One was associated with Euphorbia host plants, having vicariant species in the Madeira and Canary archipelagos. In this lineage, an ancestral association with Euphorbia mellifera in the two island groups was deduced, which has subsequently undergone shifts to related host plant species in marginal areas. The second clade was found to be an ecological generalist, exploiting decaying wood from the Lauraceae or other forest trees -is also present on such islands along with the Azores and parts of Atlantic Western Europe. Main conclusionsThe results point to a quasi-parallel colonization by the two ecologically distinct lineages in Macaronesia, dating to the early Pliocene, followed by allopatric isolation according to the presence of suitable habitats on particular islands in more recent times.

“…Sokolo to explain di erences in economic development across regions within countries. 6 Engerman and Sokolo brie y mention that countries with good endowments tend to have more dencentralized political institutions (Gallego, 2006, provides evidence supporting this idea). But they do not discuss the implications that decentralization of political power may have for development at the sub-national level.…”

“…It is deeply misleading in that it suggests that this construction of an absence somehow reflects an underlying reality, namely that ‘there had been no past failures that could serve as a lesson about what not to do’ and that ‘there was no collective experience’ (Hudec, 1987: 6–7). By most accounts, trade had been a central aspect of colonial relations (Andrews, 1914: 48; Marley, 1938; Barnes, 1938; Rist, 2010: 52). And even though the development discourse admitted of neither a past nor a present of colonialism, echoes of the colonial experience are evident both in what the development discourse embraces and in what it rejects.…”

The ‘Development’ Discourse in Multilateral Trade Lawmaking

The impact of the idea of 'development' in multilateral trade lawmaking is often reduced to the principle of 'special and differential treatment', which exempts developing countries from certain obligations imposed by the trade regime. The article shows that 'development' has always presented a much wider challenge to the vision of the trade regime championed by the major trading nations. The development discourse has conceived the trade regime's historical significance, the regime's aims, and the relationships among its members in ways that were often fundamentally at odds with the conception preferred by most developed countries. The article explores how the development discourse has informed lawmaking initiatives by developing countries throughout the history of the trade regime. While not all of these initiatives were successful or necessarily fruitful, they show that the pursuit of development in trade lawmaking has always been more than an effort to seek exemption from trade rules.
