The trend in the artificial insemination industry in recent years has been to sample larger numbers of sons sired by the most popular bulls. This trend has caused concern in the dairy industry regarding inbreeding and the gene pool. The known detrimental effects of inbreeding on economically important traits are one reason for this concern, and these ...

Desiccation of rock pool habitats and its influence onpopulation persistence in a Daphnia metacommunity [PDF]
Habitat instability has an important influence on species' occurrence and community composition. For freshwater arthropods that occur in ephemeral rock pools, the most drastic habitat instabilities are droughts and the intermittent availability of water.

Integrating personalized gene expression profiles into predictive disease-associated gene pools
Molecular Medicine: Personalized expression profiles elucidate disease heterogeneity A comparison of gene expression profiles of different patients with the same disease reveals a combinatorial model for disease heterogeneity. A framework is developed to

The hyperdominant tropical tree Eschweilera coriacea (Lecythidaceae) shows higher genetic heterogeneity than sympatric Eschweilera species in French Guiana [PDF]
Background and aims – The evolutionary history of Amazonia’s hyperabundant tropical tree species, also known as “hyperdominant” species, remains poorly investigated. We assessed whether the hyperdominant Eschweilera coriacea (DC.) S.A.Mori (Lecythidaceae)

ABSTRACT Pediatric intramedullary low‐grade gliomas (PIMLGGs) are rare neoplasms that present unique clinical and management challenges. Although surgery remains the primary tool for tissue diagnosis and decompression, complete gross‐total resection is frequently unfeasible due to the infiltrative nature of these lesions.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
