Comparative Genomics and Functional Evidence for Convergent Adaptation to Hypoxia in Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study reveals convergent selection in mammals adapted to hypoxia. Functional assays demonstrate that amino acid mutations reduce oxidative stress, attenuate hypoxia‐induced injury, and modulate the hypoxia‐inducible transcription factor (HIF)‐driven hypoxic response.

Frontiers in Marine ScienceCommon bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are among non-human mammals that possess the ability for vocal production learning, which strongly depends on learning from conspecifics. The hearing sensitivity and acoustic signals of a 4-year-old captive-

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The oceans contain trillions of plastic particles, mostly microplastics (i.e., particles < 5 mm diameter; 92.4% of plastic particles), which have been detected in organisms at all levels of the marine food web.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Spatiotemporal distribution of odontocete cetaceans within China's Jiushan Archipelago National Nature Reserve was investigated. Fishing vessels significantly reduced both cetacean acoustic detections and feeding activity, whereas gillnets selectively suppressed cetacean feeding behavior without affecting overall cetacean detection rates.

Maximizing eDNA detections of rare marine organisms: A case study of a delphinid species
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging tool for surveying marine organisms. Advances in molecular assay designs and bioinformatic methods provide new opportunities for detecting rare species; however, overcoming methodological challenges of rare species detection remains an important obstacle for the widespread deployment of eDNA methods for ...
