Protected areas – protected species? [PDF]

Current Biology, 2012
SummaryCreating protected areas such as national parks and wildlife reserves sounds like an obviously good way of protecting habitats and thus species. However, conservationists have learned over time that context is important and that seemingly trivial details can save more wildlife than grand plans. Michael Gross reports.

Heteroplasmy and Individual Mitogene Pools: Characteristics and Potential Roles in Ecological Studies

Biology, 2023
The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome or mtDNA), the extrachromosomal genome, is a multicopy circular DNA with high mutation rates due to replication and repair errors. A mitochondrion, cell, tissue, organ, or an individual body may hold multiple variants,
