CpDNA-based species identification and phylogeography: application to a complex of African tropical tree species [PDF]

, 2010
Despite their importance as a hotspot of biodiversity, the history of the African tropical lowland rainforests is poorly known. In particular the respective influence of past climatic factors, environmental heterogeneity and physical barriers on the ...

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

Harnessing genomics for conservation and restoration of tropical peat-swamp forests: a review of tools, applications, and strategies

Trees, Forests and People
Tropical peat-swamp forests have undergone degradation at alarming rate, that restoration is highly prioritized. While restoring much degraded tropical peat-swamp forest, biodiversity conservation, especially forest tree species is always incorporated in

Juniper from Ethiopia contains a large-scale precipitation signal [PDF]

, 2008
Most semiarid regions are facing an increasing scarcity of woody vegetation due mainly to anthropogenic deforestation aggravated by climate changes. However, there is insufficient information to reconstruct past changes in climate and to evaluate the ...

Exploring the Roles of Tuna‐Associated Acinetobacter sp. YFT067: Implications for Host Health and Metabolism

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study firstly isolated a tuna‐derived gut probiotic Acinetobacter seifertii YFT067. Dietary administration of YFT067 played significant roles in promoting growth performance, SCFAs production, lipid absorption, and metabolism of the host, indicating YFT067 as a promising probiotic candidate for enhancing tuna aquaculture productivity through ...

Large Trees in Tropical Dry Forest Facilitate the Presence of Stingless Bee Nests (Apidae: Meliponini): The Case of Ficus crocata

Sociobiology
Stingless bees are a crucial pollinator group for the functioning of tropical ecosystems. While most species nest in tree cavities, the importance of different tree species for nesting bees remains poorly understood.
