Genome Expansion of ZPB1(a) and ZPC1(a) in Basal Species or Liver Expression of ZPB1a and ZPC1aa in Advanced Species, Two Different Strategies to Ensure Sufficient ZP Synthesis in Teleosts

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We found that teleosts employed two different strategies to ensure sufficient ZP (zona pellucida) synthesis: expansion of ZPB1(a) and ZPC1(a) in basal species or liver expression of ZPB1a and ZPC1aa in advanced species. The N‐terminus of expanded ZPB1(a) or ZPC1(a) and liver‐expressed ZPB1a contains repeated units or low‐complexity regions to form ...

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainville, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

One number to rule them all: The Wildlife Sperm Index for standardized gamete assessment

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract In wildlife conservation, breeding programmes focused on reintroduction are critical to recovering endangered species. Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) and biobanking play pivotal roles in these efforts but depend on high‐quality gametes.

Parental Age, Inbreeding and Incubation Method Influence Extremely Low Hatching Success in the Ex‐Situ Population of the Extinct in the Wild Sihek

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Reproductive success rates are a key parameter determining the recovery potential of ex‐situ managed threatened species, with high rates often being required to produce offspring for wild releases while ensuring ex situ population viability. Here, we quantify reproductive success rates in the Extinct in the Wild sihek (Guam kingfisher) and find ...
