The mechanisms underpinning lateral gene transfer between grasses
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 672-682, September 2023., 2023 Lateral gene transfer (LGT) refers to the transmission of genetic material without sexual reproduction. LGT is widespread in a number of plant species, including grasses. But how these genes of foreign origin got there is presently unknown. In this review, we show that transformation techniques used to genetically modify organisms could occur in the ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Managed breeding programs are an important tool in marsupial conservation efforts but may be costly and have adverse genetic effects in unavoidably small captive colonies. Biobanking and assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) could help overcome these challenges, but further demonstration of their potential is required to improve uptake. We

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 This work aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary phytic acid on the enzymatic activities of the hepatopancreas of the redclaw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus. For this purpose, a completely randomized in vitro trial was conducted with three phytic acid levels (0.56, 1.68, and 2.80%) and three phytase doses (0, 250, and 500 PU/kg DM).

MASTREE+: Time‐series of plant reproductive effort from six continents
Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 9, Page 3066-3082, May 2022., 2022 MASTREE+ is an open‐access data set that collates reproductive time‐series data from across the globe. It includes 73,828 georeferenced observations of annual reproduction (e.g. seed and fruit counts) in perennial plant populations, consisting of 5,971 population‐level time‐series from 974 species.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 9, Page 1945-1956, September 2021., 2021 Our derived biomass prediction equations can be used to rapidly estimate the biologically active biomass of the assessed species, based on simpler biomass or body size measurements for a wide range of situations globally. This allows for the calculation of approximate average indicators that, when combined with density data, can be used to estimate ...

Journal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 5, Page 2152-2162, May 2021., 2021 Biogeographic patterns of variation in reproductive success in an invasive weed with allopatric distribution. Abstract Invasive species have the ability to rapidly adapt in the new regions where they are introduced. Classic evolutionary theory predicts that the accumulation of genetic differences over time in allopatric isolation may lead to ...

Use of Androcoll-ETM to Separate Frozen-Thawed Llama Sperm From Seminal Plasma and Diluent
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 It is not easy to separate frozen-thawed South American camelid sperm from seminal plasma (SP) and diluents to be used for in vitro embryo production. The objective of this study was to evaluate Androcoll-E™ (AE) efficiency to separate llama sperm from ...
