Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 9, Page 5827-5834, September 2025.Introduced rat species in Australia were tested for Vkorc1 gene mutations associated with anticoagulant rodenticide resistance. The widespread occurrence of Tyr25Phe suggests potential resistance is common in Rattus rattus. Image created with BioRender.com Abstract BACKGROUND Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) are used globally to manage pest rodent ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 18, September 2025.ABSTRACT The Night Parrot is a critically endangered nocturnal bird of Australia's arid zone. The species was “lost” for most of the 20th century until its rediscovery in 1990. Extant populations are now known in eastern and western Australia, but the species has been extirpated from much of its historical range.

Population structure of avian malaria parasites
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The geographic distribution of genetic diversity in malaria parasite populations (Apicomplexa: Haemosporida) presumably influences local patterns of virulence and the evolution of host‐resistance, but little is known about population genetic structure in

Presbycusis: Pathology, Signal Pathways, and Therapeutic Strategy
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 29, August 7, 2025.In ARHL, the stria vascularis, acting as a cochlear battery, gradually loses its ability to maintain the endocochlear potential, leading to impaired hair cell function and progressive hearing loss. Single‐cell sequencing reveals age‐related cellular changes in the cochlea, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms of aging and potential ...

Extensive polymorphism and geographical variation at a positively selected MHC class II B gene of the lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni) [PDF]
, 2008 Understanding the selective forces that shape genetic variation in natural populations remains a high priority in evolutionary biology. Genes at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) have become excellent models for the investigation of adaptive ...
