Position at Birth and Possible Effects on Calf Survival in Finless Porpoises (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis)

, 2019
Odontocetes are usually reported giving birth to calves in breech position (fluke-first). Cephalic position (head-first) is less frequently observed and, therefore, is considered to be abnormal for the parturition.

Microplastics‐Induced Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis Accelerates Alzheimer's‐Like Pathology and Cognitive Decline via the Gut–Brain Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microplastics (MPs) breach the gut‐brain axis by triggering taurine‐depleting microbiota dysbiosis that accelerates Alzheimer‐like pathology in 5XFAD mice. Taurine supplementation normalizes autophagy, microglial quiescence, and cognition, and plasma taurine inversely tracks cognitive decline in ADNI participants, revealing a readily translatable ...

Diet-microbiome coevolution: the core mechanism for semi-aquatic adaptation and cross-habitat niche coexistence of the web-footed shrew (Nectogale elegans)

Frontiers in Microbiology
The adaptation of mammals to semi-aquatic niches represents a pivotal ecological transition, in which the coevolution of dietary specialization and gut microbiome is regarded as playing a fundamental role.

Wanted not, wasted not: Searching for non-target taxa in environmental DNA metabarcoding by-catch

Environmental Advances, 2022
Metabarcoding of environmental DNA is based on primers specific to the target taxa (e.g. bacteria, zooplankton, fishes). However, because of commonly used protocols, regardless of the chosen primers, several sequences of non-target species will ...

A Modular PLUG‐IN Photosynthetic Chassis With Tunable Thermal Control for Mammalian Systems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work establishes a “plug‐in” chassis compatible with mammalian systems that synchronizes growth, production, and cell‐wall re‐configuration, providing a versatile platform for photosynthetic bioproduction and microalgal synthetic biology. ABSTRACT Microalgae are promising photosynthetic platforms for high‐value compounds, yet their industrial use ...

Collective decision‐making in aquatic mammals

Mammal Review, 2023
ABSTRACTCollective decision‐making is an essential part of day‐to‐day life for group‐living animals. These decisions can be unshared (e.g. leadership) or shared (e.g. consensus).Aquatic mammals face particular challenges when making collective decisions, including a three‐dimensional habitat that can make group coordination and collective navigation a ...

Integrative Omics Analysis Reveals the Regulation of Hypoxia Tolerance in Large Yellow Croaker (Larimichthys crocea) via the Lipoic Acid Synthase (lias) Gene

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lipoic acid synthase (lias) can regulate α‐KG levels through lipoylation, thereby negatively regulating HIF‐1α protein levels via PHD under hypoixa. The Hap2 allele of lias exhibits lower expression levels than Hap1, leading to the accumulation of more HIF‐1α protein and thereby enhancing hypoxia tolerance. ABSTRACT Hypoxia stress seriously affects the

Metatranscriptomic analyses of gut bacterial and viral communities in the critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) under distinct environments

Animal Microbiome
Background The Yangtze finless porpoise (YFP; Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) is a critically endangered freshwater cetacean, but little is known about the microbiota and the influencing factors.
