Genomic Investigations Unveil the Genetic Underpinnings of Environmental Adaptation in African Goat Populations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study integrates genomics and landscape genetics to analyze African goat environmental adaptation. Analyzing 1591 samples, it finds population structure differentiates geographically into four groups, with gene flow between wild Yura goats and North Africans.

Conserving Rodent Pests in Transition Toward Endangered Status

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodent control invariably takes place in the context of ecosystems heavily modified by agriculture. Together, they are potent drivers of rodent decline and endangerment. Nineteen percent of 2349 rodent species evaluated in the IUCN Red List of threatened species are of some conservation concern.

Bridging the Late Antique Gap in Northwest Arabia: New Archaeological Evidence on the Occupation of Wādī al‐Qurā (al‐ʿUlā [AlUla], Saudi Arabia) Between the Third and Seventh Centuries CE

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

Genome-wide detection of copy number variation in Chinese indigenous sheep using an ovine high-density 600 K SNP array

Scientific Reports, 2017
Copy number variants (CNVs) represent a form of genomic structural variation underlying phenotypic diversity. In this study, we used the Illumina Ovine SNP 600 K BeadChip array for genome-wide detection of CNVs in 48 Chinese Tan sheep.

An Introduction to the Rock Art of Khaybar

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Between 2020 and 2024, the Khaybar Longue Durée Archaeological Project recorded 2333 rock art panels around the oasis of Khaybar in northwest Arabia. This dataset documents changing visual expression in a previously under‐researched region. The rock art broadly follows chronological and stylistic patterns observed elsewhere in northern Arabia.

Investigating the Dietary, Economic, and Social Practices of a Neolithic Funnel Beaker Community in Wanna, Germany, Through Raw Material and Organic Residue Analyses of Pottery

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study details the analysis of an assemblage of Funnel Beaker pottery from Wanna in Northern Germany investigated using petrographic, geochemical, and organic residue analyses. The analyses revealed specialized production of pottery vessels for funerary contexts, but that domestic and funerary pottery were used intensively to process ...

A new place for stories in conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Michael Soule writes in his foundational article “What is Conservation Biology?” that “in crisis disciplines, one must act before knowing all the facts; crisis disciplines are thus a mixture of science and art, and their pursuit requires intuition as well as information.” Since this article was published three decades ago, conservation biology

Magnesium Enhances Immune Clearance of P. gingivalis in Macrophages by Suppressing MCU‐Mediated Mitochondrial Calcium Overload

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Magnesium restores macrophage clearance of P. gingivalis by inhibiting MCU‐mediated calcium overload. P. gingivalis is mainly phagocytosed by macrophages but escapes intracellular clearance via MCU‐mediated mitochondrial and cytosolic Ca2+ overload in periodontitis. The persistent P.
