Genetic analyses of an allochthonous population of Leontopithecus, illegally introduced into an area of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest in Rio de Janeiro, did not detect signs of hybridization. This data provides crucial information to support conservation efforts and prevent new threats to the endangered lion tamarins. ABSTRACT Allochthonous species can

Cardiac adaptive mechanisms of Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) at high altitudes
Abstract Objective—To identify cardiac mechanisms that contribute to adaptation to high altitudes in Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii). Animals—9 male Tibetan antelope and 10 male Tibetan sheep (Ovis aries). Procedures—Tibetan antelope and Tibetan sheep inhabiting a region with an altitude of 4,300 m were captured, and several cardiac variables ...

Drivers of plant phenolic concentration across global drylands
This study advances the understanding of how biotic and abiotic stressors shape plant defence strategies in global drylands. The findings shed novel insights about how plant secondary metabolites and their associated functions shift in response to changes in climate and grazing pressure, two key global change drivers with significant implications for ...

Nocardioides houyundeii sp. nov., isolated from Tibetan antelope faeces
In the present study, we describe two novel Gram-stain-positive, irregular rod-shaped bacterial strains, 78T and 601, that had been isolated from the faeces of Tibetan antelopes at the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China. The cells were aerobic, oxidase-negative and catalase-positive.

Due to the inherent uncertainty in selecting a best alternative, T‐spherical fuzzy 2‐tuple linguistic (T‐SF2TL) sets will be an advantageous method for decision makers (DMs) to assist their evaluations within T‐SF2TL framework. The objective of this study is to establish weighted Hamy mean (WHM) and weighted dual Hamy mean (WDHM) operators within the ...

Biological and biologically‐inspired functional nanostructures with structural, thermal, optical, and sensing applications are reviewed. The role of nanoscale features in biological materials on performance is described, and their blueprints are used for bio‐inspired nanomaterials, synthesized using advanced techniques (i.e., photolithography, bio ...

Streptococcus chenjunshii sp. nov. isolated from feces of Tibetan antelopes
Three Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative, α-haemolytic, chain-forming and coccus-shaped microorganisms (strains Z15T, Z1 and Z2) were isolated from feces of Tibetan antelopes collected from the Qinghai–Tibet plateau, PR China. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence studies indicated that Z15T shared 94.5, 93.1 and 92.2 % similarity with

Paracoccus liaowanqingii sp. nov., isolated from Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii)
Two strains, designated 2251T and 3058, that were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, coccoid or short rod-shaped bacilli, have recently been isolated from Tibetan antelopes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The results of phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strains 2251T and 3058 represent a new species within the genus

Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are tandemly repeated tracts of DNA composed of 1–6 base pair (bp) units. The perfect SRRs were searched and computed by using bioinformatics methods in the complete genomes of goat (Capra hircus) and ...

With changing climates globally, we see changes in not just average conditions, but also in extreme events, and such events require special attention due to their unpredictable yet significant impact on native biotas. One such event is the formation of a
