Is urbanisation a barrier to genetic diversity in the solitary specialist bee, Melissodes druriellus?

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Bees are integral pollinators commonly found in and supported by urban green spaces; however, their eco‐evolutionary response to urbanisation varies interspecifically. While several studies have explored the population and landscape genetics of bees in response to urbanisation, few have examined solitary or specialist species which may be more ...

Ecological Flow Research on Small and Medium-sized Rivers in Mountainous Areas with Staggered Weirs

Renmin Zhujiang
Small and micro stepped weirs are distributed in the small and medium-sized rivers of the southern mountainous areas in China to meet the water extraction and use needs on both banks, and they affect the spatiotemporal water demand processes of the river

Doing Item Reviewing in and Through Interaction: What It Takes to Problematize and Revise a Language Test Item

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study brings an interactional perspective to item reviewing (IR) as one of the critical language test construction stages by using conversation analysis. Drawing on video recordings of IR sessions in an English preparatory school at the tertiary level, it examines how EFL teachers problematize and revise syllabus‐based language test items

Distinctive gene expression in the reduced first thoracic legs of a nymphalid butterfly

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Transcriptome analysis reveals that the small non‐walking front legs of a butterfly have distinct gene expression to the four walking legs. Reduced front legs express a gene with putative mechanosensory roles, a blue‐sensitive opsin and two homeobox genes.

Population Differentiation and Polygenic Selection in the Finnish Ayrshire Cows Selected on Genomic Information

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Finnish Ayrshire cattle belong to the Nordic Red breeds. The basis of selection in Nordic Red breeds shifted from traditional pedigree‐based breeding values to genomic breeding values between 2011 and 2014. Joint genetic evaluation and admixture among the Nordic Red breeds have led to the formation of a composite Nordic Red population ...

Relationship between the environment and the occurrence of invasive pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus in lotic and lentic habitats

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus is a freshwater fish species native to North America. It has been introduced to Europe, where it is recognized as one of the worst aquatic invaders due to its high adaptability and invasive potential. This study aimed to determine the presence of L. gibbosus in small to medium‐sized water bodies, both lotic and
