Outbreeding management offers the promise of genetic rescue for an endangered lizard [0.03%]
近交规避管理能为一种濒危蜥蜴提供遗传救援吗
Guannan Wen,Hongxin Xie,Shuyi Luo et al.
Guannan Wen et al.
Inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity increase the extinction risk of small isolated populations. Genetic rescue by augmenting gene flow is a powerful means for the restoration of lost genetic variation. In this study, we used multigener...

Group living may engender conflict over food, reproduction, or other resources and individuals must be able to manage conflict for social groups to persist. Submission signals are an adaptation for establishing and maintaining social hierar...
Prioritizing landscapes for mitigating the impacts of onshore wind farms on multidimensional waterbird diversity in the Yellow Sea [0.03%]
为中国黄海区域多维度水鸟多样性的陆基风力发电站影响最小化优先规划景观格局研究

Shanshan Zhao et al.
Ongoing wind energy developments play a key role in mitigating the global effects of climate change and the energy crisis; however, they have complex ecological consequences for many flying animals. The Yellow Sea coast is considered as an ...
Social play in African savannah elephants may inform selection against aggression [0.03%]
非洲草原象的社会玩耍或可降低攻击性行为的自然选择压力
Ivan Norscia,Martin Hecker,Marta Caselli et al.
Ivan Norscia et al.
In social groups, competition for individual advantage is balanced with cooperation, for the collective benefit. Selection against aggression has favored cooperation and non-aggressive competitive strategies. Because social play is a behavi...

We are far from knowing all species living on the planet. Understanding biodiversity is demanding and requires time and expertise. Most groups are understudied given problems of identifying and delimiting species. DNA barcoding emerged to o...
Lack of response to conspecific juvenile vocalizations in two avian brood parasites [0.03%]
两种鸟类巢寄生虫对同种雏鸟鸣声缺乏反应
Rocío Prieto,María Cecilia De Mársico,Juan C Reboreda et al.
Rocío Prieto et al.
Juveniles of interspecific avian brood parasites need to locate and recognize conspecifics to continue their life cycle after being reared by individuals of another species. However, little is known about the recognition mechanisms and cues...
Mitogenomics clarifies the position of the Nearctic magpies (Pica hudsonia and Pica nuttalli) within the Holarctic magpie radiation [0.03%]
线粒体基因组学阐明了北美松鸦(Pica hudsonia和Pica nuttalli)在全北界松鸦辐射进化中的地位
Alexey P Kryukov,Kirill A Kryukov,Kathleen Collier et al.
Alexey P Kryukov et al.
Partial separation of a peripheral population may lead to its divergence and, potentially, speciation due to genetic drift followed by selection and geographic isolation. This process may cause taxonomic uncertainty because reproductive iso...
Ecology and social behavior of the tamarisk gerbil Meriones tamariscinus: insights from long-term research in the wild and semi-natural environments [0.03%]
基于野外和半自然环境的长期研究探究喜盐 Sands 囊鼠(Meriones tamariscinus)的生态及社会行为

The present review provides a compilation of the published data on the ecology and social behavior of tamarisk gerbils. Both field studies and direct observations under semi-natural conditions provide evidence that the tamarisk gerbil is a ...
Coping with drought? The hidden microhabitat selection and underground movements of amphisbaenians under summer drought conditions [0.03%]
应对干旱？盲蛇科动物夏季干旱条件下的隐蔽微生境选择和地下运动行为

Habitat selection is a dynamic process that depends on many environmental variables that can vary with weather conditions. This is important because, within a context of global change, extreme weather events, such as severe droughts, are pr...
Balancing selection shapes population differentiation of major histocompatibility complex genes in wild golden snub-nosed monkeys [0.03%]
平衡选择塑造了野生金丝猴主要组织相容性复合体基因的群体分化
Shixuan Dong,Bingyi Zhang,Kang Huang et al.
Shixuan Dong et al.
Small and isolated populations face several intrinsic risks, such as genetic drift, inbreeding depression, and reduced gene flow. Thus, patterns of genetic diversity and differentiation have become an important focus of conservation genetic...
