Extensive polymorphism and geographical variation at a positively selected MHC class II B gene of the lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni) [PDF]

, 2008
Understanding the selective forces that shape genetic variation in natural populations remains a high priority in evolutionary biology. Genes at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) have become excellent models for the investigation of adaptive ...

Use of Cluster Analysis for Identifying Metafounders

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the metafounder approach, the relationship matrix of metafounders, Γ$$ \boldsymbol{\Gamma} $$ is used to transfer information on relationships between pedigree founders into the numerator relationship matrix A$$ \mathbf{A} $$, creating matrix AΓ$$ {\mathbf{A}}^{\boldsymbol{\Gamma}} $$.

The Genome of the "Great Speciator" Provides Insights into Bird Diversification [PDF]

, 2015
Among birds, white-eyes (genus Zosterops) have diversified so extensively that Jared Diamond and Ernst Mayr referred to them as the “great speciator.” The Zosterops lineage exhibits some of the fastest rates of species diversification among vertebrates ...

Dynamic Transitions for Fast Joint Acquisition and Reconstruction of CEST‐Rex$$ {R}_{ex} $$ and T1$$ {T}_1 $$

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 2153-2168, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose This work proposes a method for the simultaneous estimation of the exchange‐dependent relaxation rate Rex$$ {R}_{ex} $$ and the longitudinal relaxation time T1$$ {T}_1 $$ from a single acquisition. Methods A novel acquisition scheme was developed that combines CEST saturation with an inversion pulse and a Look‐Locker readout to capture

The diet of Saker Falcon Falco cherrug overwintering in the Mediterranean (Sicily) [PDF]

, 2014
The winter diet of Saker Falcon Falco cherrug in the Mediterranean basin is unknown. Thanks to satellite tracking of two individuals from Hungary to Sicily, during winters 2012-13 and 2013-14 we identified the roost and collected 40 pellets.
