What Are the Phylogenetic Limits to Pollinator Diversity?
ABSTRACT Although huge progress has been made over the past 200 years in identifying the diversity of pollinators of angiosperms and other plants, new discoveries continue to be made each year, especially in tropical areas and in the fossil record. In this perspective article I address the following questions: Just how diverse are the pollinators and ...

Alternative NAD(P)H dehydrogenase and alternative oxidase: proposed physiological roles in animals [PDF]
The electron transport systems in mitochondria of many organisms contain alternative respiratory enzymes distinct from those of the canonical respiratory system depicted in textbooks.

Ecosystem monitoring is essential for preventing biodiversity loss, and in the Mar Menor lagoon (SE Spain), where intensive agriculture has led to eutrophication and mass mortality of marine fauna, it is critical for assessing the status of flora and fauna and informing conservation actions.

Investigating subsumption in DL-based terminologies: A case study in SNOMED CT [PDF]
Formalisms such as description logics (DL) are sometimes expected to help terminologies ensure compliance with sound ontological principles. The objective of this paper is to study the degree to which one DL-based biomedical terminology (SNOMED

Three marker genes targeting prokaryotic, eukaryotic, and vertebrate diversity were used to assess biodiversity within Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. High levels of biodiversity were seen across the sampled area, with distinct communities across surface water, bottom water, and sediment.

The genome sequence of the grey wolf, Canis lupus Linnaeus 1758 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Canis lupus orion (the grey wolf, subspecies: Greenland wolf; Chordata; Mammalia; Carnivora; Canidae). The genome sequence is 2,447 megabases in span.

Due to the massive hunting by humans, the number of spotted seals has decreased dramatically. This study used the ICPMS method to conduct experiments and analysed the correlation between heavy metal accumulations in the bodies of naturally grown spotted seals in the Bohai Sea and artificially raised spotted seals in aquariums and water samples.

ABSTRACT Molecular methods such as DNA/eDNA metabarcoding have emerged as useful tools to document the biodiversity of complex communities over large spatio‐temporal scales. We established an international Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (ARMS‐MBON) combining standardised sampling using autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) with ...

The evolution of the dystroglycan complex, a major mediator of muscle integrity [PDF]
Basement membrane (BM) extracellular matrices are crucial for the coordination of different tissue layers. A matrix adhesion receptor that is important for BM function and stability in many mammalian tissues is the dystroglycan (DG) complex.
