Past hybridization between two East Asian long-tailed tits (Aegithalos bonvaloti and A. fuliginosus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Past Environmental Change and Seasonal Migration Shaped Pronounced Variability in the Phylogenomic History of a Morphologically Cryptic Bird Radiation

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Modelling demographic changes through time in combination with phylogenomic reconstructions provides a promising avenue to better understand the impact of past environmental changes on biogeographic patterns, yet we have only begun to exploit this potential.

Application of Invertebrate‐Derived DNA Barcoding (iDNA) in Blood Sucking Leeches From West Sumatra: A Discovery of Blue‐Eyed Litter Frog Leptobrachium waysapuntiense

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study explores the use of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) from haematophagous leeches to assess vertebrate biodiversity in the tropical rainforests of Indonesia. By applying Sanger sequencing with five primer sets, we detected 17 unique vertebrate taxa, including the rare Leptobrachium waysepuntiense, demonstrating the potential of iDNA as a ...

Interpreting the process behind endemism in China by integrating the phylogeography and ecological niche models of the Stachyridopsis ruficeps. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
An area of endemism (AOE) is a complex expression of the ecological and evolutionary history of a species. Here we aim to address the principal drivers of avian diversification in shaping patterns of endemism in China by integrating genetic, ecological ...

Morphometric Variation as an Indicator of Genetic Interactions between Black-capped and Carolina Chickadees at a Contact Zone in the Appalachian Mountains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We studied hybridization and introgression between Black-capped (Poecile atricapillus) and Carolina (P. carolinensis) chickadees along two transects in the Appalachians using four genetic markers and multivariate analysis of morphology.

Free Radicals in Health and Disease

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2025.
Free radicals have dual roles that can either selectively create oxidative damages to transformed cells in treating proliferative diseases such as cancers and some dermatological disorders or boost the antioxidant system in treating degenerative diseases such as neurodegenerative disorder, joint degeneration, and metabolic conditions.

The mitogenomes of Gelochelidon nilotica and Sterna hirundo (Charadriiformes, Sternidae) and their phylogenetic implications

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
Gelochelidon nilotica and Sterna hirundo are two sympatric breeding species. The mitogenomes of G. nilotica and S. hirundo are 16,748 bp and 16,707 bp in size.

A key to selected rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) based on mitochondrial DNA restriction fragment analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Larval and juvenile rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) are difficult to identify using morphological characters. We developed a key based on sizes of restriction endonuclease fragments of the NADH dehydrogenase-3 and -4 (ND3/ND4) and 12S and 16S ribosomal RNA ...

Evolutionary patterns of morphometrics, allozymes and mitochondrial DNA in thrashers (Genus Toxostoma)

open access: yes, 1999
We examined patterns of variation in skeletal morphometrics (29 characters), allozymes (34 loci), mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction sites (n = 74) and fragments (n = 395), and mtDNA sequences (1,739 bp from cytochrome b, ND2, ND6, and the control ...

Host-pathogen evolutionary signatures reveal dynamics and future invasions of vampire bat rabies [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...
