Fixation of genetic variation and optimization of gene expression: The speed of evolution in isolated lizard populations undergoing Reverse Island Syndrome [PDF]
The ecological theory of island biogeography suggests that mainland populations should be more genetically divergent from those on large and distant islands rather than from those on small and close islets.

Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) bycatch in the Atlantic Ocean
Abstract A large tuna was hooked by a Japanese longline fishery in the high seas near the Republic of Namibia. This fishing ground is mainly utilized for Thunnus albacares, Thunnus obesus and Thunnus alalunga by Japanese tuna longliners. Because the tuna was larger than the common size of these species, the specimen was sampled for genetic species ...

The complete mitogenome ofMontipora digitata(Cnidarian: Acroporidae)
In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of Montipora digitata (Cnidarian: Acroporidae) has been decoded for the first time using the low-coverage whole-genome sequencing method. The overall base composition of M. digitata mitogenome for A, C, G, and T is 24.9%, 14.2%, 24.2%, and 36.8%, respectively, with a GC content of 38.3%.

Silene, a versatile model system: from sex and genome evolution to ecology and speciation
Summary Fundamental and applied research in evolutionary biology benefits from the use of model systems in which approaches from disparate disciplines can be integrated. Here, we review recent progress in evolutionary research on the long‐standing model system Silene, a large genus with a well‐resolved phylogeny and newly available, expanded genomic ...

Comparative mitogenomic analyses of three scallops (Bivalvia: Pectinidae) reveal high level variation of genomic organization and a diversity of transfer RNA gene sets [PDF]
Background It can be seen from the available mollusk mitogenomes that the family Pectinidae exhibits the most variation in genome organization. In this study, comparative mitogenomic analyses were performed for three scallops from the subfamily ...
