Spatial Dynamics and Lifespan of Adult Cicadas After Fire and Logging: A Radiotracking Study

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of Lyristes plebejus cicadas in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 cicadas were captured, tagged with radio transmitters, and released in three disturbance contexts: burnt‐logged, burnt‐unlogged, and unburnt ...

Interaction of Introgression From \u3ci\u3ePapilio Glaucus Canadensis\u3c/i\u3e and Diapause in Producing Spring Form Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterflies, \u3ci\u3eP. Glaucus\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Palilionidae) [PDF]

, 2017
The small early spring form of the eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly, Papilio glaucus has been described from Massachusetts and Illinois in the north, southward all the way into North Carolina.

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.

Happy New Year Homo erectus? More evidence for interbreeding with archaics predating the modern human/Neanderthal split [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
A range of a priori hypotheses about the evolution of modern and archaic genomes are further evaluated and tested. In addition to the well-known splits/introgressions involving Neanderthal genes into out-of- Africa people, or Denisovan genes into Oceanians, a further series of archaic splits and hypotheses proposed in Waddell et al.

Navigating Methodological Trade‐Offs in eDNA Metabarcoding Biodiversity Monitoring: Insights From a Mediterranean Watershed

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding technologies promise significant advances in biodiversity monitoring, yet their application requires extensive optimisation and standardisation. Recent research demonstrated that increased sampling and analytical efforts are needed to improve biodiversity estimates, though fully optimising study designs ...

Genetic introgression from commercial European pigs to the indigenous Chinese Lijiang breed and associated changes in phenotypes

Genetics Selection Evolution
Background Gene flow is crucial for enhancing economic traits of livestock. In China, breeders have used hybridization strategies for decades to improve livestock performance.

Speciation and introgression between Mimulus nasutus and Mimulus guttatus [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
Mimulus guttatus and M. nasutus are an evolutionary and ecological model sister species pair differentiated by ecology, mating system, and partial reproductive isolation. Despite extensive research on this system, the history of divergence and differentiation in this sister pair is unclear.

Strong Signatures of Selection on Candidate Genes Underlying Core Speciation Mechanisms in Desert Tortoises

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genomic incompatibilities and differential ecological adaptation are thought to be fundamental mechanisms of speciation. In this study, we generated a chromosome‐scale reference genome and annotation for Gopherus morafkai , the Sonoran Desert tortoise, and conducted a detailed analysis of genes under positive selection with its sister species,
