Identification of Genetic Variants Causing Paediatric Cataract in Myanmar

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Up to 60% of children with cataract in Myanmar have a causative variant in a known cataract gene. This is a similar rate to other populations screened to date, but highlights that there are more cataract genes left to identify. ABSTRACT Genetic testing for paediatric cataract detects a cause in 50%–70% of affected children but is as low as 20% in some ...

Global drivers of the conservation–invasion paradox

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The conservation–invasion paradox (CIP) refers to a long‐term phenomenon wherein species threatened in their native range can sustain viable populations when introduced to other regions. Understanding the drivers of CIP is helpful for conserving threatened species and managing invasive species, which is unfortunately still lacking. We compiled

Effect of primate protection on threatened and endemic vertebrates, plants, ecosystem services, and future climate refugia

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China.
