Hybridization With a Non‐Native Congener Threatens the Catalan Chub (Squalius laietanus): Optimization of a DNA‐Based Early Warning Tool

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Hybridization with non‐native congeners threatens endemic freshwater fishes. Using a rapid and cost‐effective nuclear DNA assay, we detected widespread hybridization between the Catalan chub (Squalius laietanus) and the non‐native European chub (Squalius cephalus) across S.

Chromosome‐Level Genome Assembly of Strauchbufo raddei and Multi‐Omic Insights Into Drought Adaptation

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how amphibians adapt to terrestrial and arid environments is important for elucidating vertebrate terrestrialization. In this study, we present the first chromosome‐level, high‐quality genome assembly of Strauchbufo raddei, constructed using PacBio HiFi long‐read sequencing and Hi‐C scaffolding. The assembled genome is 4.47 Gb in

Genotyping Contemporary Captive and Historical Wild Western Lowland Gorillas Indicates Captive Breeding Is Maintaining Genetic Diversity in a Critically Endangered Primate

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Captive populations of threatened species risk losing genetic diversity over time. We evaluated the genetic status of contemporary captive western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) at Howletts and Port Lympne and compared this with specimens from a historical wild population.

Genomic Assessment of Reintroduced African Wild Dogs Informs Conservation Translocations

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Few reintroduction and translocation programs incorporate genomic assessments into management planning, despite ongoing debate over how founder individuals should be selected. Here, we assess the genomic composition of reintroduced African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) populations in private reserves in South Africa, comparing them with a free‐roaming ...

Impact of Metformin and Diabetes on Tumor Response to Total Neoadjuvant Therapy in Advanced Rectal Cancer: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
In advanced rectal cancer patients receiving total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT), overall tumor response did not differ by diabetes status or metformin use. However, among diabetic patients, metformin use was associated with higher overall complete response rates. These findings suggest a potential benefit of metformin in enhancing TNT response in diabetic
