Shuwen Jia et al.
Characterizing the mitochondrial genomes of reef-building corals, which are crucial for marine ecosystems, offers profound insights into their phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history. The genus Porites is extensively distributed...
Canis STR-Seq: A Universal Approach for Non-Invasive Genetic Monitoring of Wolves and Coyotes [0.03%]
Emily Walker,Brent R Patterson,Glen A Rutledge et al.
Emily Walker et al.
Population genetic studies have traditionally relied on data from short tandem repeat (STR) markers, known as microsatellites, to produce individual genotypes used in population genetics research. However, size fragment analysis from tradit...

The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is essential for the maintenance of global biodiversity. Exploring the drivers of species diversity and the conservation status of species in this region contributes significantly to elucidating the mechanisms un...
Phylogeny and Biogeography of Calanthe Shed New Light on Alpine Origin and Radiation History of Calanthe Alliance [0.03%]
Jun-Wen Zhai,Yanqiong Chen,Qiang Wang et al.
Jun-Wen Zhai et al.
The origin and radiation of plant lineages is one of the central topics in evolutionary biology, and the diversification of Orchidaceae is of more concern and still perplexing. In this study, we selected to resolve the origin and radiation ...

Animal coloration is a complex trait useful for studying adaptive evolution. In consequence, a major goal in evolutionary biology is to understand the genetic and developmental basis underlying coloration in animals and thus establish direc...
Sources of Pre- and Postnatal Maternal Energy Allocation to Offspring in a Long-Lived, Capital Breeder: The Grey Seal (Halichoerus grypus) [0.03%]
M Sanchez,W D Bowen,C E den Heyer et al.
M Sanchez et al.
Parental energy allocation impacts the fitness of offspring and parents alike and should provide insight into the sources of variation in life history traits. Nevertheless, few studies have simultaneously assessed multiple sources of variat...

Jordy Groffen et al.
Amphibians are among the most threatened vertebrate groups, yet monitoring cryptic, fossorial species is difficult and often risks disturbing both their microhabitats and the individuals themselves. We tested whether artificial shelters cou...
