Xinyuan Cui et al.
Animals living in captivity and the wild show differences in the internal structure of their gut microbiomes. Here, we performed a meta-analysis of the microbial data of about 494 fecal samples obtained from giant pandas (captive and wild g...
Country-wide genetic monitoring over 21 years reveals lag in genetic recovery despite spatial connectivity in an expanding carnivore (Eurasian otter, Lutra lutra) population [0.03%]
全国范围的遗传监测在21年内揭示了一个扩张的食肉动物(欧亚水獭,Lutra lutra)种群尽管空间连通性良好但遗传恢复滞后的问题
Nia E Thomas,Frank Hailer,Michael W Bruford et al.
Nia E Thomas et al.
Numerous terrestrial mammal species have experienced extensive population declines during past centuries, due largely to anthropogenic pressures. For some species, including the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra), environmental and legal protecti...
Microevolutionary mechanism of high-altitude adaptation in Tibetan chicken populations from an elevation gradient [0.03%]
来自海拔梯度的藏鸡群体中的高原适应微进化机制
Hai-An Zhong,Xiao-Yan Kong,Ya-Wen Zhang et al.
Hai-An Zhong et al.
As an indigenous breed, the Tibetan chicken is found in highland regions and shows physiological adaptations to high altitude; however, the genetic changes that determine these adaptations remain elusive. We assumed that the microevolution ...
Evolution of reproductive life-history and dispersal traits during the range expansion of a biological control agent [0.03%]
生物控制剂在地域扩张过程中生殖生活史及迁移特征的演化
Eliza I Clark,Ellyn V Bitume,Dan W Bean et al.
Eliza I Clark et al.
Evolutionary theory predicts that the process of range expansion will lead to differences in life-history and dispersal traits between the core and edge of a population. At the edge, selection and genetic drift can have opposing effects on ...
Low genetic diversity, local-scale structure, and distinct genetic integrity of Korean chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) at the species range margin suggest a priority for conservation efforts [0.03%]
韩国边远地区大麻哈鱼(Oncorhynchus keta)遗传多样性低、局部结构和独特的遗传完整性表明需要优先保护努力
Ji Eun Jang,Ju Kyoung Kim,Seung-Min Yoon et al.
Ji Eun Jang et al.
Chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) is an ecologically and economically important species widely distributed across the North Pacific Ocean. However, the population size of this fishery resource has declined globally. Identifying genetic integr...
Demographic history and conservation genomics of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Québec [0.03%]
北美驯鹿(Rangifer tarandus)在魁北克的人口历史和保护基因组学研究
Morgan N Dedato,Claude Robert,Joëlle Taillon et al.
Morgan N Dedato et al.
The loss of genetic diversity is a challenge many species are facing, with genomics being a potential tool to inform and prioritize decision-making. Most caribou (Rangifer tarandus) populations have experienced significant recent declines t...
Between the Cape Fold Mountains and the deep blue sea: Comparative phylogeography of selected codistributed ectotherms reveals asynchronous cladogenesis [0.03%]
在开普褶皱山脉和深蓝海之间:选自具有相同分布区域的变温动物的比较系统地理学揭示了不同步的支系发生过程

We compare the phylogeographic structure of 13 codistributed ectotherms including four reptiles (a snake, a legless skink and two tortoise species) and nine invertebrates (six freshwater crabs and three velvet worm species) to test the pres...
Limited gains in native parasitoid performance on an invasive host beyond three generations of selection [0.03%]
仅通过三代的选择,本地寄生蜂在入侵寄主上的表现仅获得有限的提升
Shelley Linder,Benjamin J M Jarrett,Philip Fanning et al.
Shelley Linder et al.
Co-evolved natural enemies provide sustainable and long-term control of numerous invasive insect pests, but the introduction of such enemies has declined sharply due to increasing regulations. In the absence of co-evolved natural enemies, n...
A diverse parasite pool can improve effectiveness of biological control constrained by genotype-by-genotype interactions [0.03%]
由基因型与基因型相互作用限制的生物控制可以通过一个多种多样的寄生虫池改善效果
Fabiane M Mundim,Amanda K Gibson
Fabiane M Mundim
The outcomes of biological control programs can be highly variable, with natural enemies often failing to establish or spread in pest populations. This variability has posed a major obstacle in use of the bacterial parasite Pasteuria penetr...
