Molecular heterogeneity in major urinary proteins of Mus musculus subspecies: potential candidates involved in speciation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
When hybridisation carries a cost, natural selection is predicted to favour evolution of traits that allow assortative mating (reinforcement). Incipient speciation between the two European house mouse subspecies, Mus musculus domesticus and M.m.musculus,

Strong forms of self-duality for Hopf monoids in species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A vector species is a functor from the category of finite sets with bijections to vector spaces (over a fixed field); informally, one can view this as a sequence of $S_n$-modules.

Multiomics analyses reveal that PRMT5 regulates membrane transport and cholesterol synthesis in white adipocytes

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Prmt5AKO downregulates genes related to fatty acid transport and triacylglycerol synthesis, while upregulating genes involved in glucose transport and cholesterol biogenesis. These changes cause alternation in lipid composition and metabolic phenotypes of Prmt5AKO mice. Abstract The adipose tissue (AT) is a main regulator of systemic energy homeostasis,

Acmaeodera pubiventris Horn (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) : a polytypic species or a superspecies? [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Acmaeodera pubiventris Horn was studied in detail and, without rejecting that it may be a superspecies, I concluded it is a polytypic species comprised of A. p. pubiventris, A. p. lanata Horn, A. p.

Non‐Passerine Birds in Zoos: A Global Approach on Distribution Patterns of Threatened Birds in Zoological Institutions 动物园中非雀形目鸟类:全球动物机构中受威胁鸟类的分布模式研究

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Only 1541 (34.2%) of 4503 recognized non‐passerine bird species are held in ZIMS institutions worldwide. Approximately ~83% of the species kept globally are classified as non‐threatened and ~16% as threatened. To improve the conservation of threatened birds, a shift toward keeping threatened species should be considered within ex situ management ...
