DNA barcoding identified two endangered dolphins: threats on living aquatic mammals in India

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
DNA barcode data of both endangered dolphin species, Platanista gangetica, and Orcaella brevirostris are lacking in the global database. The study generated partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) gene sequences of the two highly ...

Leveraging Synteny to Generate Reference Genomes for Conservation: Assembling the Genomes of Hector's and Māui Dolphins

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Escalating concern regarding the impacts of reduced genetic diversity on the conservation of endangered species has spurred efforts to obtain chromosome‐level genomes through consortia such as the Vertebrate Genomes Project. However, assembling reference genomes for many threatened species remains challenging due to difficulties obtaining ...

Characterizing Fraser's Dolphin ( Lagenodelphis hosei ) in the Lesser Antilles: Distribution, Movements, and Co‐Occurrence With Other Cetacean Species to Inform Conservation Strategies in the Caribbean

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 4, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Fraser's dolphin ( Lagenodelphis hosei ) is one of the least studied dolphin species due to its tropical, offshore distribution and low density. However, it is frequently observed in the Lesser Antilles, where we characterized its distribution and ecology using 4 years of data collected from Grenada to Anguilla.

The influence of surface energy on the self-cleaning of insect adhesive devices [PDF]

, 2012
The ability of insects to adhere to surfaces is facilitated by the use of adhesive organs found on the terminal leg segments. These adhesive pads are inherently 'tacky' and are expected to be subject to contamination by particulates, leading to loss of ...

Avian influenza overview June–September 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Between 7 June and 5 September 2025, 183 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (27) and wild (156) birds across 15 countries in Europe. Although HPAI A(H5N1) virus detections were predominant in western and southwestern Europe, they also occurred on the northernmost coast of Norway. More than
