Estimating the Abundance of a Cryptic, Endangered Marsupial, Mala (Lagorchestes hirsutus) Using Microsatellite and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Genotyping Panels

Ecology and Evolution
Developing high‐quality, non‐invasive population monitoring techniques is important for endangered species that are difficult to trap or susceptible to capture myopathy. One such species is the mala (Lagorchestes hirsutus, Central Australian subspecies),

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Scientifically framed gene drive communication perceived as credible but riskier

People and Nature, 2021
Humans have caused a catastrophic decline to animal species and look to emerging technologies to stop the decline. Gene drive is a potential tool that may eradicate invasive rodents known for their devastating impact on native animals.

Two Routes to Land: Genomic Underpinnings of Parallel Aerial Egg Deposition in Aquatic Old‐World Pila and New‐World Pomacea (Ampullariidae)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.

Natural Resistance to Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome in Estrildid Finches Reveals Macrophage GPR183 as a Potential Therapeutic Target

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ovarian macrophage depletion reverses OHSS resistance in estrildid finches and exacerbates OHSS symptoms in rats. Activating macrophage GPR183 alleviates OHSS by reducing pro‐inflammatory factors, increasing immunomodulatory molecules, remodeling CD44/SDC4‐mediated communication, and restoring immune homeostasis.

Appropriate Fat Supplementation in High-Starch Diets Involved in the Modification of Fatty Acids Profile, Amino Acids Composition, and Antioxidant Capacity of Adult Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Muscle

Aquaculture Nutrition
Tilapia industry has faced great challenges due to the replacement of high-quality protein sources by a high proportion of starch. Meanwhile, the level of dietary fat is gradually reduced with the increase of oil price. High starch diets have been proved

Ningaloo Marine Park management program best practice for whale shark (Rhincodon typus) conservation

Frontiers in Conservation Science
The predictable nature of whale shark (Rhincondon typus) aggregations around the world forms the basis for nature-based tourism. The Ningaloo Marine Park (NMP), Western Australia is one of those locations and a management program has been in place since ...
