Effect of Breeding Season on Haemosporidian Infections in Domestic Chickens [PDF]

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
Reproduction is believed to contribute to the frequently observed seasonal cycles in parasite loads in many organisms, as an investment in reproduction by the host could result in a higher susceptibility to parasites.

Rising Temperatures Advance Start and End of the Breeding Season of an Alpine Bird [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Many bird species have advanced the start of the breeding season as a response to climate change. The duration of the breeding season and how it is affected by climate change are far less studied but are important for the re‐nesting potential. Re‐nesting

A hypothetico-deductive approach to assessing the social function of chemical signalling in a non-territorial solitary carnivore [PDF]

, 2012
The function of chemical signalling in non-territorial solitary carnivores is still relatively unclear. Studies on territorial solitary and social carnivores have highlighted odour capability and utility, however the social function of chemical ...

Genomic Analysis of LEA Genes in Carica papaya and Insight into Lineage-Specific Family Evolution in Brassicales

Life, 2022
Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins comprise a diverse superfamily involved in plant development and stress responses. This study presents a first genome-wide analysis of LEA genes in papaya (Carica papaya L., Caricaceae), an economically ...

Phylogenetic Analyses and Transcriptional Survey Reveal the Characteristics, Evolution, and Expression Profile of NBS-Type Resistance Genes in Papaya

Agronomy, 2023
Carica papaya maintains an abnormally small but complete NLR family while showing weak disease resistance. To better understand their origin, evolution, and biological function, we identified 59 NLR genes via a customized RGAugury and investigated their ...

Reducing Seed Shattering in Weedy Rice by Editing SH4 and qSH1 Genes: Implications in Environmental Biosafety and Weed Control through Transgene Mitigation

Biology, 2022
Mitigating the function of acquired transgenes in crop wild/weedy relatives can provide an ideal strategy to reduce the possible undesired environmental impacts of pollen-mediated transgene flow from genetically engineered (GE) crops.

Increases in Genetic Diversity of Weedy Rice Associated with Ambient Temperatures and Limited Gene Flow

Biology, 2021
Hypotheses regarding the association of increased species or genetic diversity with gradually warmer regions as a global pattern have been proposed, but no direct and solid experimental data are available to approve the association between plant genetic ...
