Dietary live yeast (Debaryomyces hansenii) provides no advantages in tropical gar, Atractosteus tropicus (Actinopterygii: Lepisosteiformes: Lepisosteidae), juvenile aquaculture [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2021 Tropical gar, Atractosteus tropicus Gill, 1863, is an ancient freshwater fish that is commercially cultivated in southern Mexico. Currently, there is a specific diet for its culture; however, the addition of probiotics has not been investigated.

Putative Genomic Signatures of Local Adaptation in Five Local Indonesian Sheep Reveal Selection on Immunity, Reproduction, and Production Traits. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe determined the genetic structure and signatures of selection in five local Indonesian sheep breeds using genome‐wide SNP data. By integrating population structure analyses with runs of homozygosity and haplotype‐based selection scans, we identified breed‐specific genomic regions associated with immunity, reproduction, pigmentation, metabolism, and ...
