The influence of marine benthic habitat data on systematic conservation planning: Rottnest island as a case study [PDF]
, 2011 The need for mechanisms to protect, maintain and restore global marine biodiversity has been globally recognised. Systematic conservation planning algorithms, such as MARXAN, are now a preferred solution for designing marine protected areas (MPAs) that ...

Integrative approaches to guide conservation decisions : Using genomics to define conservation units and functional corridors [PDF]
, 2018 Climate change and increasing habitat loss greatly impact species survival, requiring range shifts, phenotypic plasticity and/or evolutionary change for long-term persistence, which may not readily occur unaided in threatened species. Therefore, defining

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...

Evolutionary ApplicationsDirect‐developing species lack the pelagic larval phase which facilitates connectivity in most marine species. Consequently, they tend to exhibit spatially restricted dispersal and increased population structure.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Evolutionary analysis across 32 placental mammals identified positive selection at residues H148 and W149 in the immune receptor FcγR1. Ancestral reconstruction combined with molecular dynamics simulations reveals how these mutations may influence receptor structure and dynamics, providing insight into the evolution of antibody recognition and immune ...

Lines on a map: conservation units, meta-population dynamics, and recovery of woodland caribou in Canada [PDF]
, 2018 Delineating conservation units is a fundamental step in recovery planning for endangered species. Yet, challenges remain in the application and validation of scientifically evaluated conservation units in management practice.
