Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle
Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks
Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

ABSTRACT Background Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a multifactorial, inherited skin disease, estimated to affect ≤ 15% of dogs. Studies of skin messenger mRNA in cAD currently use invasive methods, including blood sampling and biopsy collection, whilst advances in human atopic dermatitis study methodology have demonstrated reliable use of minimally ...

深海に生息する好圧性微生物における酵素の高水圧環境下への適応戦略と環境問題への応用 [PDF]
深海という環境は、恒常的な高水圧・低温といった極限環境にさらされた世界である。また、全海洋底に拡がっているプレート境界域には、熱水活動が繰り広げられており、水圧の影響により400℃を超える熱水の噴出が起こっている。そうした極限世界にも、現場環境に適応した実に多様な生物の世界が拡がっている。 こうした深海世界には、高水圧下に適応した「好圧性微生物」が存在すると信じられてきており、その存在は、1979年、Yayanosらにより分離・培養され、証明された1)。その後、1990年に我が国の海洋科学技術センター(

Genomic responses to increased temperature and pollinator selection in Brassica rapa L.
Summary Rapid environmental change reshapes both abiotic stress and biotic interactions, yet it remains unclear how these combined forces structure plants' genomic adaptation. In particular, the joint influence of temperature and pollinator identity, two ecological axes undergoing simultaneous global shifts, has rarely been quantified at genomic ...

The Relationship of Environmental Factors with Community Structures and Diversities of Microorganisms in Activated Sludge from Wastewater Treatment Plants [PDF]
随着我国社会经济的飞速发展和城镇化进程的加快,大量肆意排放的废水造成水体严重污染,导致“水危机”日趋严重。废水在排入水体前,应首先由污水处理厂进行处理。较之于增加污水处理厂数量需要耗费大量资金成本,提高现有污水处理设施的废水处理效率至关重要。活性污泥法是污水处理厂应用最广泛的废水处理方式之一。由于在活性污泥系统中,微生物是去除污染物的主体。因此,深入了解活性污泥中微生物的群落结构与功能,理解其时空分布格局及受控机理,对于深化认识污水处理系统的本质,进而提高污水处理效率具有重要意义。此外 ...

Background: Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a common, chronic skin condition characterised by epidermal barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation and cutaneous dysbiosis. While “emollient plus” formulations are widely used in human atopic dermatitis, their role in cAD remains underexplored. Hypothesis/Objectives: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and

Screening and Characteristics of Bacteria and Enzyme for Degradation of Malachite Green from Marine Sediment [PDF]
孔雀石绿是一种三苯基甲烷类染料,广泛应用于水产、纺织、造纸等产业,导致水生环境化学需氧量(COD)和生物需氧量(BOD)大幅提高,阻挡光的透射,严重影响水生生物的生长,同时其毒性和致癌性也会通过食物链传递给人类及其他陆生生物。本研究以深海和红树林沉积物中微生物为研究对象,采用富集培养和宏基因组技术对可降解孔雀石绿的微生物及功能基因资源进行挖掘,并对其降解途径及代谢产物进行研究,为近海环境修复提供潜在的、可应用的生物资源 ...
