Evolutionary Applications, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 36-47, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Animals living in captivity and the wild show differences in the internal structure of their gut microbiomes. Here, we performed a meta‐analysis of the microbial data of about 494 fecal samples obtained from giant pandas (captive and wild giant pandas).

Free-living greylag geese adjust their heart rates and body core temperatures to season and reproductive context [PDF]
, 2018 Animals adaptively regulate their metabolic rate and hence energy expenditure over the annual cycle to cope with energetic challenges. We studied energy management in greylag geese.

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 6, Page 2195-2208, December 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Recent advances in ecology and biogeography demonstrate the importance of fire and large herbivores – and challenge the primacy of climate – to our understanding of the distribution, stability, and antiquity of forests and grasslands. Among grassland ecologists, particularly those working in savannas of the seasonally dry tropics, an emerging ...

A Primitive Trait in Two Breeds of Equus Caballus Revealed by Comparative Anatomy of the Distal Limb
Animals, 2019 The 55-million-year history of equine phylogeny has been well-documented from the skeletal record; however, this is less true for the soft tissue structures that are now vestigial in modern horse.

Accurate Runs of Homozygosity Estimation From Low Coverage Genome Sequences in Non-Model Species. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are increasingly being analysed using whole genome sequences in non‐model species as a measure of inbreeding and to assess demographic history, thus providing useful information for conservation. However, most studies have used Plink for ROH inference which performs poorly when sequencing depth is below 10×, often ...
