PLoS ONE, 2020 The small Neotropical finches called capuchinos are outstanding because they have experienced one of the most recent and explosive avian radiations ever documented for birds. Despite very low morphological and niche divergence among species, many of them

Colonization and dispersal patterns of the invasive American brine shrimp Artemia franciscana (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) in the Mediterranean region [PDF]
, 2013 Cysts of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana are harvested from the Great Salt Lake (GSL) and San Francisco Bay (SFB) saltworks in the USA, and marketed worldwide to provide live food for aquaculture.

Genetic Divergence of an Avian Endemic on the Californian Channel Islands. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The Californian Channel Islands are near-shore islands with high levels of endemism, but extensive habitat loss has contributed to the decline or extinction of several endemic taxa. A key parameter for understanding patterns of endemism and demography in

Mitochondrial heterogeneity [PDF]
, 2018 Cell-to-cell heterogeneity drives a range of (patho)physiologically important phenomena, such as cell fate and chemotherapeutic resistance. The role of metabolism, and particularly mitochondria, is increasingly being recognised as an important explanatory factor in cell-to-cell heterogeneity.

Closing the air gap: the use of drones for studying wildlife ecophysiology
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 1206-1228, June 2025.ABSTRACT Techniques for non‐invasive sampling of ecophysiological data in wild animals have been developed in response to challenges associated with studying captive animals or using invasive methods. Of these, drones, also known as Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and their associated sensors, have emerged as a promising tool in the ecophysiology ...

Are mutagenic non D-loop direct repeat motifs in mitochondrial DNA under a negative selection pressure? [PDF]
, 2017 Non D-loop direct repeats (DRs) in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been commonly implicated in the mutagenesis of mtDNA deletions associated with neuromuscular disease and ageing.

Sedimentary ancient DNA from caves: Challenges and opportunities
Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 565-578, May 2025.Abstract Caves are unique depositional environments that hold great potential for long‐term preservation of DNA due to their typically cool and stable internal climates, buffered from external climate extremes. Bones from caves have long been recognised as an excellent source of ancient DNA, yet the potential for DNA preservation in cave sediments ...

Population history, gene flow, and bottlenecks in island populations of a secondary seed disperser, the southern grey shrike (Lanius meridionalis koenigi) [PDF]
, 2014 Studying the population history and demography of organisms with important ecological roles can aid understanding of evolutionary processes at the community level and inform conservation.
