Genomic structural plasticity of rodent‐associated Bartonella in nature

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 14, Page 3784-3797, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Rodent‐associated Bartonella species have shown a remarkable genetic diversity and pathogenic potential. To further explore the extent of the natural intraspecific genomic variation and its potential role as an evolutionary driver, we focused on a single genetically diverse Bartonella species, Bartonella krasnovii, which circulates among ...

Chemical properties of key metabolites determine the global distribution of lichens

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 416-426, February 2022., 2022
In lichen symbioses, secondary metabolites produced by the lichen fungi (mycobionts) provide UV protection on which trebouxioid green algae as the most prominent photobionts sensitively depend. These metabolites differ in their UV absorbance capability and solvability and therefore vary in their propensity of being leached from the lichen body by high ...

A Mutual Information Based Sequence Distance For Vertebrate Phylogeny Using Complete Mitochondrial Genomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Traditional sequence distances require alignment. A new mutual information based sequence distance without alignment is defined in this paper. This distance is based on compositional vectors of DNA sequences or protein sequences from complete genomes ...

A new model of forelimb ecomorphology for predicting the ancient habitats of fossil turtles

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 23, Page 17071-17079, December 2021., 2021
Various morphological proxies have been used to infer habitat preferences among fossil turtles and their early ancestors, but most are tightly linked to phylogeny, thereby minimizing their predictive power. Here, we introduce a new model that uses intramanual measurements (digit III metacarpal + non‐ungual phalanges + ungual) to statistically estimate ...

Diversity of Lecidea (Lecideaceae, Ascomycota) species revealed by molecular data and morphological characters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The diversity of lichens, especially crustose species, in continental Antarctica is still poorly known. To overcome difficulties with the morphology based species delimitations in these groups, we employed molecular data (nuclear ITS and mitochondrial ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Protobothrops kaulbacki (Squamata: Viperidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
Protobothrops kaulbacki is a new record in China, and in this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of P. kaulbacki had been determined. The length of mitogenome is 17,237 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes ...
