Thermal forest zone explains regional variations in the diet composition of the Japanese marten (Martes melampus) [PDF]
Examining biogeographical variations in species’ diet is important for linking key ecological traits between consumers and their environment. While the trophic ecology of the Holarctic martens has been globally synthesised, systematic information on the ...

Only 1541 (34.2%) of 4503 recognized non‐passerine bird species are held in ZIMS institutions worldwide. Approximately ~83% of the species kept globally are classified as non‐threatened and ~16% as threatened. To improve the conservation of threatened birds, a shift toward keeping threatened species should be considered within ex situ management ...

In Vivo Biosynthesis and Direct Incorporation of Noncanonical Amino Acids into Proteins
This review evaluates engineered (semi)autonomous cell systems for the biosynthesis and incorporation of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins. While semi‐autonomous cells convert supplied precursors into ncAAs autonomous cells integrate biosynthetic pathways that produce these building blocks intracellularly.

Extreme genomic erosion after recurrent demographic bottlenecks in the highly endangered Iberian lynx [PDF]
Background: Genomic studies of endangered species provide insights into their evolution and demographic history, reveal patterns of genomic erosion that might limit their viability, and offer tools for their effective conservation. The Iberian lynx (Lynx
