Whole-genome sequencing of endangered Zhoushan cattle suggests its origin and the association of MC1R with black coat colour

Scientific Reports, 2021
Zhoushan cattle are an endangered cattle breed in the Zhoushan islands in China. Since Zhoushan cattle have been bred in isolation, they show unique characteristics, such as dark black coat colour. However, no studies have been conducted on the genome of

Taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity of understorey plants respond differently to environmental conditions in European forest edges

Journal of Ecology, 2021
Forest biodiversity world‐wide is affected by climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation, and today 20% of the forest area is located within 100 m of a forest edge.

Feeding experiments on Vittina turrita (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Neritidae) reveal tooth contact areas and bent radular shape during foraging

Scientific Reports, 2021
The radula is the food gathering and processing structure and one important autapomorphy of the Mollusca. It is composed of a chitinous membrane with small, embedded teeth representing the interface between the organism and its ingesta.

Conserving ecological functions of frog communities in Borneo requires diverse forest landscapes

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Recent studies suggest that differences in species composition across habitat types lead to increased multifunctionality on the regional scale. However, data about species turnover—and especially complementarity in the functional composition—across ...

Climate change may have minor impact on zooplankton functional diversity in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

, 2019
Aim To assess the impact of climate change on the functional diversity of marine zooplankton communities. Location The Mediterranean Sea. Methods We used the functional traits and geographic distributions of 106 copepod species to estimate the ...

Roots Structure and Development of Austrobaileya scandens (Austrobaileyaceae) and Implications for Their Evolution in Angiosperms

Plants, 2020
Since the resolution of the ANA grade [Amborellales, Nymphaeales, Austrobaileyales] as sister to all other flowering plants, a few comparative studies of root structure have suggested that some of their anatomical traits could be of importance to ...

SMARCB1 regulates a TFCP2L1-MYC transcriptional switch promoting renal medullary carcinoma transformation and ferroptosis resistance

Nature Communications, 2023
Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is an aggressive tumour driven by bi-allelic loss of SMARCB1 and tightly associated with sickle cell trait. However, the cell-of-origin and oncogenic mechanism remain poorly understood.

A note on reliability estimation of functionally diverse systems [PDF]

, 1999
It has been argued that functional diversity might be a plausible means of claiming independence of failures between two versions of a system. We present a model of functional diversity, in the spirit of earlier models of diversity such as those of ...

Whole-genome resequencing of large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) reveals the population structure and signatures of environmental adaptation

Scientific Reports, 2021
Large yellow croaker is an economically important fish in China and East Asia. Despite its economic importance, genome-wide adaptions of domesticated large yellow croaker are largely unknown.
