Persistent Genomic Erosion in Whooping Cranes Despite Demographic Recovery
ABSTRACT Integrating in‐situ (wild) and ex‐situ (captive) conservation efforts can mitigate genetic diversity loss and help prevent extinction of endangered wild populations. The whooping crane (Grus americana) experienced severe population declines in the 18th century, culminating in a collapse to ~20 individuals by 1944.

Globularity and language-readiness: generating new predictions by expanding the set of genes of interest [PDF]
This study builds on the hypothesis put forth in Boeckx and Benitez-Burraco (2014), according to which the developmental changes expressed at the levels of brain morphology and neural connectivity that resulted in a more globular braincase in our species

Fluoreszenzmarkierte Peptidtracer zur simultanen Aktivierung und Bildgebung des Oxytocinrezeptors
Licht ins Dunkel: Hier präsentieren wir die Entwicklung fluoreszenzmarkierter Peptid‐Tracer, die eine gleichzeitige Visualisierung und Aktivierung des Oxytocinrezeptors – eines G‐Protein‐gekoppelten Rezeptors, der an Gesundheit und Krankheit beteiligt ist – ermöglichen.

Genomes reveal marked differences in the adaptive evolution between orangutan species [PDF]
Integrating demography and adaptive evolution is pivotal to understanding the evolutionary history and conservation of great apes. However, little is known about the adaptive evolution of our closest relatives, in particular if and to what extent ...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Blood‐based biomarkers (BBMs) for Alzheimer's disease (AD), including plasma phosphorylated tau (p‐tau), are increasingly used in clinical practice, but “real‐world” implementation patterns, context‐of‐use (COU), clinical utility, and diagnostic performance are incompletely understood. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the first

Cucurbit aphid‐borne yellows virus: A growing but overlooked threat to global cucurbit production
Cucurbit aphid‐borne yellows virus (CABYV) presents a significant threat to cucurbit crops worldwide. In this description of a plant virus we review what is currently known about this plant virus. Abstract Cucurbit aphid‐borne yellows virus (CABYV) presents a significant threat to cucurbit crops worldwide.

Nuclear versus mitochondrial DNA: evidence for hybridization in colobine monkeys [PDF]
Background: Colobine monkeys constitute a diverse group of primates with major radiations in Africa and Asia. However, phylogenetic relationships among genera are under debate, and recent molecular studies with incomplete taxon-sampling revealed ...

Can Collaboration Promote Corporate Social Responsibility? Evidence From the Lab
ABSTRACT Do agreements among competitors regarding corporate social responsibility (CSR) promote public‐interest objectives? We address this question theoretically and experimentally in a duopoly framework in which firms choose between offering a “fair” and an “unfair” good to consumers. When the unfair good is traded, a negative externality is imposed

Discovery of a Small Non-AUG-Initiated ORF in Poleroviruses and Luteoviruses That Is Required for Long-Distance Movement. [PDF]
Viruses in the family Luteoviridae have positive-sense RNA genomes of around 5.2 to 6.3 kb, and they are limited to the phloem in infected plants. The Luteovirus and Polerovirus genera include all but one virus in the Luteoviridae.
