Context dependent variation in corticosterone and phenotypic divergence of Rana arvalis populations along an acidification gradient
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 1-19 - 2022
Physiological processes, as immediate responses to the environment, are
important mechanisms of phenotypic plasticity and can influence evolution at
ecological time scales. In stressful environments, physiological stress
responses of individuals are initiated and integrated via the release of
hormones, such as corticosterone (CORT). In vertebrates, CORT influences energy
metabolism and resource al...
Semicircular canal shape diversity among modern lepidosaurs: life habit, size, allometry
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 23 - Trang 1-12 - 2023
The shape of the semicircular canals of the inner ear of living squamate
reptiles has been used to infer phylogenetic relationships, body size, and life
habits. Often these inferences are made without controlling for the effects of
the other ones. Here we examine the semicircular canals of 94 species of extant
limbed lepidosaurs using three-dimensional landmark-based geometric
morphometrics, and a...
Genome-wide species delimitation analyses of a silverside fish species complex in central Mexico indicate taxonomic over-splitting
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2022
Delimiting species across a speciation continuum is a complex task, as the
process of species origin is not generally instantaneous. The use of genome-wide
data provides unprecedented resolution to address convoluted species
delimitation cases, often unraveling cryptic diversity. However, because
genome-wide approaches based on the multispecies coalescent model are known to
confound population str...
Small-scale metapopulation structure of a limnophilic fish species in a natural river system investigated using microsatellite genotyping by amplicon sequencing (SSR-GBAS)
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 1-9 - 2024
Habitat niches of fish species can exert a strong influence on population
structure, even on a small geographical scale. In this scope, Pelasgus
thesproticus is a great model species to study connectivity in riverine
environments owing to its naturally patchy habitat distribution. Furthermore, it
is important to conduct such studies in near-natural systems to avoid the impact
of human disturbances...
Prevalence of co-infection and genetic diversity of avian haemosporidian parasites in two rehabilitation facilities in Iran: implications for the conservation of captive raptors
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 Số 1
Abstract Background Various haemosporidian parasites infect raptors, especially
captive hosts who may be more exposed. Diagnosis of threatening factors such as
infectious diseases indirectly has a significant role in protecting endangered
or threatened species that may boost the mortality or extinction resulting from
declined reproduction. Few investigations have been performed in captive hosts
to...
Trade-offs between immunity and competitive ability in fighting ant males
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 23 - Trang 1-14 - 2023
Fighting disease while fighting rivals exposes males to constraints and
trade-offs during male-male competition. We here tested how both the stage and
intensity of infection with the fungal pathogen Metarhizium robertsii interfere
with fighting success in Cardiocondyla obscurior ant males. Males of this
species have evolved long lifespans during which they can gain many matings with
the young quee...
Typical structure of rRNA coding genes in diplonemids points to two independent origins of the bizarre rDNA structures of euglenozoans
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 1-8 - 2022
Members of Euglenozoa (Discoba) are known for unorthodox rDNA organization. In
Euglenida rDNA is located on extrachromosomal circular DNA. In Kinetoplastea and
Euglenida the core of the large ribosomal subunit, typically formed by the 28S
rRNA, consists of several smaller rRNAs. They are the result of the presence of
additional internal transcribed spacers (ITSs) in the rDNA. Diplonemea is the
thi...
Reply to: “Research on agroforestry systems and biodiversity conservation: what can we conclude so far and what should we improve?” by Boinot et al. 2022
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 1-4 - 2022
In our article ‘European agroforestry has no unequivocal effect on biodiversity:
a time-cumulative meta-analysis’ (BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021) we synthesize
the effect of agroforestry on biodiversity. Boinot et al. (BMC Ecology and
Evolution, 2022) criticise our approach arguing that our definitions of
agroforestry and biodiversity are too narrow; that we use inappropriate control
sites for p...
Restoring a butterfly hot spot by large ungulates refaunation: the case of the Milovice military training range, Czech Republic
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 1-18 - 2021
Refaunation/rewilding by large ungulates represents a cost-efficient approach to
managing natural biotopes and may be particularly useful for areas whose
biodiversity depends on disturbance dynamics and is imperilled by successional
changes. To study impacts of refaunation on invertebrates, we focused on
butterflies inhabiting the former military training range Milovice, Czech
Republic, refaunated...
Gene count from target sequence capture places three whole genome duplication events in Hibiscus L. (Malvaceae)
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 1-13 - 2021
The great diversity in plant genome size and chromosome number is partly due to
polyploidization (i.e. genome doubling events). The differences in genome size
and chromosome number among diploid plant species can be a window into the
intriguing phenomenon of past genome doubling that may be obscured through time
by the process of diploidization. The genus Hibiscus L. (Malvaceae) has a wide
diversi...
