Mitochondrial network state scales mtDNA genetic dynamics [PDF]
, 2018 Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations cause severe congenital diseases but may also be associated with healthy aging. MtDNA is stochastically replicated and degraded, and exists within organelles which undergo dynamic fusion and fission. The role of the resulting mitochondrial networks in the time evolution of the cellular proportion of mutated mtDNA ...

Landscape genetics of Schistocephalus solidus parasites in threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) from Alaska. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The nature of gene flow in parasites with complex life cycles is poorly understood, particularly when intermediate and definitive hosts have contrasting movement potential.

Past hybridization between two East Asian long-tailed tits (Aegithalos bonvaloti and A. fuliginosus) [PDF]
, 2014 Introduction: Incomplete lineage sorting and hybridization are two major nonexclusive causes of haplotype sharing between species. Distinguishing between these two processes is notoriously difficult as they can generate similar genetic signatures ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Aquila nipalensis and its phylogenetic position
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 Mitochondrial genome sequences are valuable resources for systematics and conservation biology studies. In this paper, we present the complete mitogenome of Aquila nipalensis which was 18,450 bp in length.

Bloodmeal analysis reveals avian Plasmodium infections and broad host preferences of Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) vectors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Changing environmental conditions and human encroachment on natural habitats bring human populations closer to novel sources of parasites, which might then develop into new emerging diseases. Diseases transmitted by host generalist vectors are of special

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Coalescent methods that use multi-locus sequence data are powerful tools for identifying putatively reproductively isolated lineages, though this approach has rarely been used for the study of microbial groups that are likely to harbor many ...

Host-pathogen evolutionary signatures reveal dynamics and future invasions of vampire bat rabies [PDF]
, 2016 Anticipating how epidemics will spread across landscapes requires understanding host dispersal events that are notoriously difficult to measure. Here, we contrast host and virus genetic signatures to resolve the spatiotemporal dynamics underlying ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.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 ...
