Natural variation of outcrossing in the hermaphroditic nematode Pristionchus pacificus [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Evolution of selfing can be associated with an increase in fixation of deleterious mutations, which in certain conditions can lead to species extinction.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Estuarine benthic diversity declines with temperature across a tropical–temperate gradient

Ecography, EarlyView.
Estuarine benthic sediments are important habitats that support ecosystem health and productivity, but the drivers of large‐scale patterns in benthic diversity are not well documented. Using 18S amplicon sequencing of 425 sediment DNA samples from estuaries spanning 20° of latitude along Australia's east coast, we assessed tropical–temperate patterns ...

Contrastant banana accessions for resistance to the burrowing nematode, based on molecular markers RAPD [PDF]

Euphytica, 2009
This work aimed to proceed molecular characterization of seven banana accessions (Borneo, Grand Naine, 1304-06, 4249-05, 0337-02, 0323-03 and 4279-06) resistance to the nematode Radopholus similis. These accessions were selected taking in account the reproduction factor (RF) among 26 banana genotypes from a working collection belonging to Embrapa ...

Toward 959 nematode genomes [PDF]

, 2012
The sequencing of the complete genome of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was a landmark achievement and ushered in a new era of whole-organism, systems analyses of the biology of this powerful model organism. The success of the C.

Signal sequence analysis of expressed sequence tags from the nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis and the evolution of secreted proteins in parasites [PDF]

, 2004
Parasitism is a highly successful mode of life and one that requires suites of gene adaptations to permit survival within a potentially hostile host.

Husbandry factors are associated with skin, gastrointestinal and ophthalmic disorders in leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius)

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Research into disorders in captive reptiles is notably sparse in the UK, despite the popularity of various species as pets. This study aimed to survey and investigate risk factors for disorders of leopard geckos in the UK. Methods Medical records for leopard geckos presenting at three veterinary practices between 2019 and 2023 were ...

Comprehensive and representative conservation planning for biodiversity of ice‐free Antarctica

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Antarctica is designated as a natural reserve devoted to peace and science, with Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs) serving as the primary instrument for area‐based biodiversity protection. However, the existing ASPA network lacks the comprehensiveness and representativeness required under Annex V, Article 3(2), of the Madrid Protocol.

A burrowing ecosystem engineer positively affects its microbial prey under stressful conditions

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Species that facilitate others under stressful conditions are often ecosystem engineers: organisms that modify or create physical habitat. However, the net effect of an engineering species on another depends on both the magnitude of the direct ...
