Molecular detection and genetic diversity of avian haemosporidian parasites in Iran. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 BACKGROUND:The mobility of birds across or between continents exposes them to numerous vectors that have the potential to transmit pathogens and spread them into new regions. A combination of rich species diversity of birds along with the small amount of

Mitochondrial Dna Replacement Versus Nuclear Dna Persistence [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper we consider two populations whose generations are not overlapping and whose size is large. The number of males and females in both populations is constant. Any generation is replaced by a new one and any individual has two parents for what concerns nuclear DNA and a single one (the mother) for what concerns mtDNA.

Co-evolution of the mitotic and meiotic modes of eukaryotic cellular division [PDF]
Physical Review E 98 (2018), 032409, 2018 The genetic material of a eukaryotic cell comprises both nuclear DNA (ncDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). These differ markedly in several aspects but nevertheless must encode proteins that are compatible with one another. Here we introduce a network model of the hypothetical co-evolution of the two most common modes of cellular division for ...

Using age‐ratios to investigate the status of two Siberian Phylloscopus species in Europe
Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 3, Page 632-645, July 2025.Distinguishing between vagrancy and regular migration has proved to be challenging as vagrants may, in theory, act as pioneers in the establishment of new migration routes. Because migratory songbirds tend to follow the same orientation and migration route throughout their lives, age assessment can help to distinguish individuals which have already ...

Diversity, 2019 Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an increasingly used non-invasive molecular tool for detecting species presence and monitoring populations. In this article, we review the current state of non-avian reptile eDNA work in aquatic systems, and present a field ...

The avian tectorial membrane: Why is it tapered? [PDF]
AIP Conf. Proc. 1703, 080005 (2015), 2015 While the mammalian- and the avian inner ears have well defined tonotopic organizations as well as hair cells specialized for motile and sensing roles, the structural organization of the avian ear is different from its mammalian cochlear counterpart. Presumably this difference stems from the difference in the way motile hair cells function.

Ancient DNA & stable isotope profiling of fossil eggshell [PDF]
, 2012 Eggshell is frequently encountered within palaeontological and archaeological deposits and due to various chemical and physical properties, it is highly valued as a substrate for geochronology, palaeodietary and palaeoecological applications. Despite the
