The Asian plethodontid salamander preserves historical genetic imprints of recent northern expansion
Scientific Reports, 2021 The Korean Peninsula, located at the southern tip of Northeast Asia, has never been covered by ice sheets and was a temperate refugium during the Pleistocene.

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture
iMetaOmics, EarlyView.Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.When compared to resident lizards of the corresponding age class, juvenile headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population exhibited more favorable responses to short‐term translocation objectives (i.e., daily movement rates, home range sizes, and survival rates) than did conspecifics headstarted to the adult age class ...

The Druze: a population genetic refugium of the Near East. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BackgroundPhylogenetic mitochondrial DNA haplogroups are highly partitioned across global geographic regions. A unique exception is the X haplogroup, which has a widespread global distribution without major regions of distinct localization.Principal ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mountain grasslands of Central Asia, recognized as a globally significant biodiversity hotspot and a vital pastoral resource, are presently experiencing profound transformations driven by climate change and evolving grazing practices. This study investigated the multidimensional dynamics of ecosystem stability in the Bayinbuluk grassland of ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Land degradation driven by rapid land‐use and climate‐driven vegetation dynamics increasingly threatens ecosystem stability in semi‐arid wetland basins, yet predictive ecosystem health assessments remain limited in Sub‐Saharan Africa. This study evaluates historical dynamics and future trajectories of ecosystem health in the Ziway‐Shalla Sub ...

FURTHER PERSPECTIVES ON THE HAIDA GWAII GLACIAL REFUGIUM [PDF]
Evolution, 1999 Byun et al. (1997) reported molecular evidence supporting a purported, long-term Pleistocene glacial refugium for black bears (Ursus americanus) located on or near the Haida Gwaii Archipelago (Queen Charlotte Islands), British Columbia. They examined sequence data from the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and uncovered two lineages, which differed by an

Taxonomy and phylogeny of the intercontinental disjunctive ferns: series Reniformia Adiantum
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.There are disputed opinions about the three taxa of series Reniformia, namely A. nelumboides X.C.Zhang (A. reniforme var. sinense Y.X.Lin), A. reniforme var. reniforme, and A. reniforme var. asarifolium (Willd.) R. Sim, owing to their similar morphology but intercontinental disjunctive distribution and close lineage with the series Venusta (only ...
