Infomap Bioregions: Interactive mapping of biogeographical regions from species distributions [PDF]
, 2016 Biogeographical regions (bioregions) reveal how different sets of species are spatially grouped and therefore are important units for conservation, historical biogeography, ecology and evolution. Several methods have been developed to identify bioregions

Aquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Infection with the pathogenic bacterium Vibrio parahaemolyticus typically causes severe hepatopancreatic damage in Penaeus vannamei, often resulting in acute shrimp mortality. Therefore, protecting the shrimp’s hepatopancreas is crucial for enhancing their disease resistance.

Absence of CD59 in guinea pigs: Analysis of the Cavia porcellus genome suggests the evolution of a CD59 pseudogene [PDF]
, 2018 CD59 is a membrane-bound regulatory protein that inhibits the assembly of the terminal membrane attack complex (C5b-9) of complement. From its original discovery in humans almost 30 years ago, CD59 has been characterized in a variety of species, from ...

Species distribution modeling reveals strongholds and potential reintroduction areas for the world's largest eagle [PDF]
, 2019 The highly interactive nature of predator-prey relationship is essential for ecosystem conservation; predators have been extirpated, however, from entire ecosystems all over the Earth. Reintroductions comprise a management technique to reverse this trend.

Tex19 and Sectm1 concordant molecular phylogenies support co-evolution of both eutherian-specific genes [PDF]
, 2015 International audienceBackground: Transposable elements (TE) have attracted much attention since they shape the genome and contribute to species evolution. Organisms have evolved mechanisms to control TE activity. Testis expressed 19 (Tex19) represses TE
