Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.This study addresses a key gap in the understanding of molecular adaptation by providing the first complete adult β‐globin gene sequences for two ecologically significant wild sheep species, the Argali (Ovis ammon) and the Urial (Ovis vignei). ABSTRACT The β‐globin gene cluster is a key model for studying molecular adaptation and gene family evolution ...

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 1, January 2026.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

Experimental evidence of unethical gift reconstruction in consumer moral reasoning [PDF]
, 2015 There are empirical evidences that consumers do not walk the talk. Although they express a preference for ethical products, they often consume indifferently. Nonetheless, we know little about the factors that facilitate unethical consumption.

Cardiac adaptive mechanisms of Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) at high altitudes
American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2012 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
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.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
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2018 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.
