Changes in global DNA methylation under climatic stress in two related grasses suggest a possible role of epigenetics in the ecological success of polyploids

Scientific Reports, 2022
Polyploidization drives the evolution of grasses and can result in epigenetic changes, which may have a role in the creation of new evolutionary lineages and ecological speciation.

Basin-scale Paleoecology: Using Semi-quantitative Analysis of the Ichnofabric within Kutai Basin (Indonesia)

Journal of Mathematical and Fundamental Sciences, 2021
Ichnofossils are still not used in paleoecological studies, even though they are a valuable proxy for paleoecology. This study focused on a semi-quantitative approach to a number of ichnofabric variables, i.e. ichnofossil association, bioturbation index (
