Evolutionary Analysis of Transcriptional Regulation Mediated by Cdx2 in Rodents

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Our study (1) represented a first systematic analysis of species‐specific adaptation in the DNA binding pattern of transcription factor; (2) represented a first study of cis‐regulation between two reproductively isolated species by using a novel allodiploid system; (3) demonstrated a higher conservation of transcriptional output than that of DNA ...

Introduced mona monkey Cercopithecus mona is a key predator of bird nests in the endemic‐rich Príncipe Island

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Bird communities in oceanic islands tend to evolve under reduced predation, making them extremely susceptible to introduced predators. Príncipe Island (São Tomé and Príncipe, Central Africa) harbors 11 endemic bird species and eight introduced mammal species.

Assessing the past and future impact of a long‐term island restoration program

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The IUCN Green Status of Species uses a qualitative and inferential approach to evaluate the past and expected future impacts of conservation on species recovery. Using this approach, we demonstrate the impact of a long‐term, multi‐organization conservation program in Mauritius in preventing the extinction of nine species, and the importance of ...

Genetic and environmental factors associated with survival of a rare songbird in a fragmented urban landscape

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We conducted individual banding and resighting studies and collected genetic data in populations of coastal Cactus Wrens in Orange and San Diego Counties between 2009 and 2020. We found that survival was much lower for hatch year birds than after hatch year birds and that higher precipitation and heterozygosity had positive effects on survival. Results
