Putative Genomic Signatures of Local Adaptation in Five Local Indonesian Sheep Reveal Selection on Immunity, Reproduction, and Production Traits

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We determined the genetic structure and signatures of selection in five local Indonesian sheep breeds using genome‐wide SNP data. By integrating population structure analyses with runs of homozygosity and haplotype‐based selection scans, we identified breed‐specific genomic regions associated with immunity, reproduction, pigmentation, metabolism, and ...

The seed bank created by the dung of large herbivores drives seed circulation in an alpine meadow

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Seed circulation (i.e., sexual reproduction) is vital for the regeneration of aboveground grassland vegetation (AGV). It occurs in several steps: seed production (seed rain, SR), dispersal (endozoochory, i.e., dung seed bank, DSB), formation of the soil seed bank (SSB), germination, seedling growth, and establishment of adult plants.

Microbial insights into ruminal fiber degradation and feed efficiency of Hu sheep

Frontiers in Microbiology
Ruminal fiber degradation is essential for feed conversion efficiency in sheep; however, it remains unclear whether individual variations in ruminal fiber degradation directly affect feed conversion efficiency. Here, the relationship between ruminal fiber degradation rate and feed conversion efficiency and influence of rumen structure, function, and ...

Classification of sheep category using chemical analysis and statistical classification algorithms

, 2011
In Australia, dentition (eruption of permanent incisors) is used as a proxy for age to define sheep meat quality. Lamb is defined as having no permanent incisors, hogget as having at least one incisor and mutton is defined as having two or more incisors.

Arp2/3 complex and β1 integrin drive an invasive front through extracellular matrix adaptation in pancreatic cancer

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 11, Page 3038-3050, 1 June 2026.
What's new? Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is characterized by a dense extracellular matrix, and how invasive tumor cells overcome such biomechanical constraints remains unclear. This study identifies the actin‐related protein 2/3 complex as a key regulator of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma invasiveness, driving fibroblast migration through β1 ...

Comparative whole-genome resequencing to uncover selection signatures linked to litter size in Hu Sheep and five other breeds

BMC Genomics
Hu sheep (HS), a breed of sheep carrying the FecB mutation gene, is known for its “year-round estrus and multiple births” and is an ideal model for studying the high fecundity mechanisms of livestock. Through analyzing and comparing the genomic selection
