A 178 bp diagnostic D-loop fragment (OvisCR) to discriminate domestic sheep (Ovis aries) and European mouflon (Ovis musimon) in diet metabarcoding studies [PDF]

Metabarcoding and Metagenomics
Accurate species identification is essential in metabarcoding diet studies, notably to distinguish domestic from wild species, as they have markedly different ecological and socio-economic implications. This is particularly true for the genus Ovis, where

Towards Genomics-Informed Biodiversity Conservation: Case Studies on Environmental DNA, Fin Whales and Bobcats Genomics and the Distribution of Fitness Effects [PDF]

, 2022
Global biodiversity is declining at an alarming rate. Genetics approaches have been invaluable for conservation practices across scales, from identifying impacts of inbreeding in endangered species to mapping global biodiversity patterns.

Evolution and Phylogenetics of the Javan Hawk‐Eagle Nisaetus bartelsi (Stresemann, 1924) Using Mitochondrial Data 爪哇鹰雕 Nisaetus bartelsi (Stresemann, 1924) 基于线粒体数据的演化与系统发育研究

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
This study reconstructs the phylogeny of the Javan Hawk‐Eagle (Nisaetus bartelsi) within the subfamily Aquilinae using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference algorithms on a blood sample and GenBank data. The analysis reveals that the sampled genus Nisaetus forms a monophyletic group. Furthermore, N. bartelsi occupies a sister‐taxon of N.

CanPests V1.0: A Reference Dataset for Arthropod Pests of Canada Integrating DNA Barcodes

Data
Arthropod pest species represent a serious threat to agriculture and forestry. Canada is no exception, with over 1200 recorded pest species. Although a consolidated dataset would benefit research, management, and policy, information on these species has ...

Integrated one‐pot CRISPR‐Cas detection: Addressing strategies and future prospects

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Integrated one‐pot CRISPR‐Cas detection significantly simplifies workflows, reduces cross‐contamination risks, and shortens turnaround times, making it highly suitable for point‐of‐care testing (POCT) and resource‐limited settings. Key challenges include system compatibility issues between Cas proteins and isothermal amplification, limited multiplexing

Farmland Biodiversity Monitoring Using DNA Metabarcoding

Diversity
Although 5–20% of global crop production is lost to arthropod damage, current biomonitoring programs are extremely limited. This study evaluates the feasibility of using metabarcoding to assess overall insect diversity and detect pest species in ...

Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Fostering Post-Fire Research Towards a More Balanced Wildfire Science Agenda to Navigate Global Environmental Change

Fire
As wildfires become more frequent and severe in the face of global environmental change, it becomes crucial not only to assess, prevent, and suppress them but also to manage the aftermath effectively.

Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...
