Paternal phylogeographic structure of the brown bear (Ursus arctos) in northeastern Asia and the effect of male-mediated gene flow to insular populations

Zoological Letters, 2017
Background Sex-biased dispersal is widespread among mammals, including the brown bear (Ursus arctos). Previous phylogeographic studies of the brown bear based on maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA have shown intraspecific genetic structuring around ...

Paternal Exposure to the Neonicotinoid Pesticide Clothianidin Alters Sperm MicroRNA Profiles in Mice and Intergenerationally Reduces Locomotor Activity in Male Offspring

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence suggests that paternal environmental factors have epigenetic effects on sperm and influence offspring. Neonicotinoid pesticides (NNs), which are widely used around the world, are known to affect offspring phenotypes through maternal exposure in mice, but the effect of the paternal exposure remains unknown.

Normothermic Machine Perfusion vs. Static Cold Storage for DBD Liver Transplantation in High‐MELD Recipients: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose While normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has benefits over static cold storage (SCS), its efficacy in high‐acuity recipients with high Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores, particularly using a back‐to‐base application model, is not well established.

Potential of Sea Urchin Mesocentrotus nudus as a Target Catch Species in the Pacific Ocean off Eastern Hokkaido, Japan

Animals
Scientific reports on the distribution of Mesocentrotus nudus in Hokkaido are limited from Cape Soya to Cape Erimo along the coast of the Sea of Japan; however, fishery statistics show that its distribution has extended to the Sea of Okhotsk and Pacific ...

Tracking haplotype for QTLs associated with Fusarium head blight resistance in Japanese wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) lineage

Agriculture & Food Security, 2018
Background Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has been enhanced by combining resistant alleles with transgressive segregation. In Japan, intensive FHB resistance breeding was initiated in 1970s in Kyushu and in 1990s in

The Relation Between Two Types of Frequent Wave Breaking Over Southeastern Siberia and Different Conditions of Unseasonable Midsummer Weather Over Japan

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
To analyze the different morphologies of Rossby wave breaking over Eastern Siberia and their relationships with the anomalous patterns of temperature and precipitation that cause unseasonable midsummer weather conditions over Japan, we performed regression analyses against the interannual variabilities of the anticyclonic and cyclonic Rossby wave ...
