Development and Characterization of 15 Novel Genomic SSRs for Viburnum farreri
Plants, 2021 The Viburnum genus is of particular interest to horticulturalists, phylogeneticists, and biogeographers. Despite its popularity, there are few existing molecular markers to investigate genetic diversity in this large genus, which includes over 160 ...

American highbush cranberry maintains strong population structure despite naturalization of Eurasian relatives in North America. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise The proper classification of taxa is often debated, particularly when organisms lack qualitative diagnostic traits. Highbush cranberry taxa (Viburnum spp.) have been the subject of such disputes since their characterization by 18th‐ and 19th‐century botanists. Despite their allopatric distributions—V.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 We presented the second complete chloroplast genome of the plant. The length of chloroplast genome is 158,587 bp, consisting of four subregions: 87,050 bp of LSC and 18,503 bp of SSC regions separated by a pair of 26,517 bp IR regions.

Herbivory Dominates the Spring Diet of American Black Bears (<i>Ursus americanus</i>) in a Wood Bison (<i>Bison bison athabascae</i>) Neonatal Range, Suggesting Minimal Bison Consumption. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we used scat analysis and DNA metabarcoding to analyze the spring diet of black bears in the neonatal range of a small, threatened wood bison herd in northeast Alberta to assess predation risk of neonate bison. Our results suggest that consumption rates of bison are low and that predation risk to neonate wood bison, during the RLBH's ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 In general, the chloroplast genomes of angiosperms are considered to be highly conserved and affected little by adaptive evolution. In this study, we tested this hypothesis based on sequence differentiation and adaptive variation in the plastid genomes ...

A Deep Metagenomic Snapshot as a Proof-of-Concept for Resource Generation: Simultaneous Assembly of Host, Food, and Microbiome Genomes From Stingless Bee Larval Food. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study serves as a proof‐of‐concept, demonstrating that deep shotgun sequencing of a single complex sample—stingless bee larval food—can simultaneously generate multiple genomic resources. From this dataset, we assembled three genomes (a near‐complete bacterium, a draft host mitochondrion, and a fragmented plant chloroplast) with varying ...

Comparative micromorphology and anatomy of flowers and floral secretory structures in two Viburnum species [PDF]
, 2016 In entomogamous plants, the presence and function of floral secretory structures, whose main role is to attract pollinators, is strictly associated with the pollination ecology and hence the reproductive success of the plant.

Changing Rainfall Drives Locally Asynchronous Reproduction of Tropical Birds via Modular Trophic Pathways. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolIn low‐latitude mountains, we found insectivorous bird communities switched from breeding before to after the dry season at a threshold in dry‐season insects. Localized breeding season reversal of insectivores across wet‐to‐dry gradients magnified short‐term effects of drought and contrasted with the seasonal stability of nectar‐fruit consumers.

Evolution of plant ribosome-inactivating proteins [PDF]
, 2010 This contribution presents an updated analysis of the evolution of ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) in plants. All evidence suggests that an ancestor of modern seed plants developed the RIP domain at least 300 million years ago.
