Multi‐Omics Insights Into the Mechanisms of Early Muscle Fiber Difference and Transformation Between Lean‐Type and Chinese Indigenous Pigs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multi‐omics analyses uncover breed‐specific cis‐regulatory landscapes and higher‐order chromatin architectural differences that underlie early postnatal muscle fiber divergence in pigs. A super‐enhancer upstream of PPP3CB recruits MEF2C to activate PPP3CB transcription, while the PPP3CB–MEF2C positive feedback loop promotes oxidative muscle fiber ...

Benthic non-indigenous species among indigenous species and their habitat preferences in Puck Bay (southern Baltic Sea)* This work was carried out under the ‘Ecosystem Approach to Marine Spatial Planning – Polish Marine Areas and the Natura 2000 Network’ project founded by an EEA grant from Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway and partly by research grant BW/G 220-5-0232-9.

Oceanologia, 2014
To date 11 non-indigenous benthic taxa have been reported in Puck Bay (southern Baltic Sea). Five of the 34 taxa forming the soft bottom communities are regarded as non-indigenous to this area.

Fermented Citrus as a Functional Food Matrix: Evaluating Probiotic, Prebiotic, and Postbiotic Potential

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Fermented citrus transforms bioactive compounds into metabolites with probiotic and prebiotic properties, enhancing gut health, immunity, and metabolic balance. This review highlights fermentation's role in developing sustainable, health‐promoting functional foods while addressing challenges in process optimization, sensory quality, and commercial ...

Utilizing Environmental DNA for Early Monitoring of Non-Indigenous Fish Species in Maritime Ballast Water

Fishes
Ballast water has become a significant vector for the global spread of non-indigenous aquatic species. These species may cause severe ecological disruption and economic losses when introduced into new environments. Traditional monitoring techniques often

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Grizzly and polar bears as nonconsumptive cultural keystone species

FACETS, 2021
Grizzly bears and polar bears often serve as ecological “flagship species” in conservation efforts, but although consumptively used in some areas and cultures they can also be important cultural keystone species even where not hunted.

Non-indigenous species management using a population prioritization framework [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 2007
Few agencies or land owners have sufficient resources to target every non-indigenous plant species (NIS) population once they have become established within a management area. Therefore, prioritization of NIS populations for management is a crucial component of the management process. Conceptually, effective management of NIS can be regarded as having
