Mapping the northernmost transnational non-native population of Xenopus laevis using pooled eDNA sampling [PDF]
Early-detection-rapid response (EDRR) programs are invaluable for managing incipient invasions, but require monitoring strategies that maximize search coverage and minimize costs.

Conservation priorities for Ethiopian sheep breeds combining threat status, breed merits and contributions to genetic diversity [PDF]
Prioritizing livestock breeds for conservation needs to incorporate both genetic and non-genetic aspects important for the survival of the breeds. Here, we apply a maximum-utility-strategy to prioritize 14 traditional Ethiopian sheep breeds based on ...

Inverse relationship between genetic diversity and epigenetic complexity [PDF]
Early studies of molecular evolution revealed a correlation between genetic distance and time of species divergence. This observation provoked the molecular clock hypothesis and in turn the ‘Neutral Theory’, which however remains an ...

Taxonomy and Identification of Principal Foliar Nematode Species (Aphelenchoides and Litylenchus)
Nematodes are Earth’s most numerous multicellular animals and include species that feed on bacteria, fungi, plants, insects, and animals. Foliar nematodes are mostly pathogens of ornamental crops in greenhouses, nurseries, forest trees, and field crops ...

Benefits of host genetic diversity for resistance to infection depend on parasite diversity [PDF]
Host populations with high genetic diversity are predicted to have lower levels of infection prevalence. This theory assumes that host genetic diversity results in variation in susceptibility and that parasites exhibit variation in infectivity. Empirical

Environmental factors influence both abundance and genetic diversity in a widespread bird species [PDF]
Genetic diversity is one of the key evolutionary variables that correlate with population size, being of critical importance for population viability and the persistence of species. Genetic diversity can also have important ecological consequences within

Estimating genetic diversity across the neutral genome with the use of dense marker maps [PDF]
Background With the advent of high throughput DNA typing, dense marker maps have become available to investigate genetic diversity on specific regions of the genome. The aim of this paper was to compare two marker based estimates of the genetic diversity

The Role of Genetics in Sex Diversity [PDF]
Sex is a major and complex feature of individual development and concerns all levels of the human appearance – from cells to tissues to hormones to organs to behaviour. It marks embodiment and is the reference for gender. And it may also be the most controversial feature of “the” human body.
