Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Genome‐Wide Assessment Reveals Ancestral Differences in Homozygosity Patterns Potentially Linked to Parkinson's Disease Etiology

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Recessive genetic variation and extended runs of homozygosity (ROHs) may contribute to the unexplained heritability of Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly in diverse and understudied populations. Objective We conducted the first large‐scale, multi‐ancestral investigation of PD to examine the impact of genome‐wide homozygosity on ...

ПРОДУКТИВНА ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА НА ОВЦЕ ОТ КАРНОБАТСКА ТЪНКОРУННА ПОРОДА

Животновъдни науки, 2010
The study was carried out with ewes born in period from 1999 to 2005 with the aim to characterise the productivity of the sheep from the Karnobat fine-wool breed. The basic productive traits (live weight, wool productivity, staple length up to 4.5 years

Age ratio in groups of a social ungulate affects epizoochorous dispersal and diaspore exchanges

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animal‐mediated seed dispersal is a key process in plant population dynamics, species distribution and ecosystem functioning. As long‐distance dispersal agents, ungulates help to maintain native plant populations facing abiotic changes in their habitat and habitat fragmentation or habitat loss.

Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores

Oikos, EarlyView.
Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...

Relationships of subjectively assessed wool and conformation traits with objectively measured wool and live weight traits in the Tygerhoek Merino flock

South African Journal of Animal Science, 2009
Records of the Tygerhoek Merino resource flock were used to estimate genetic, phenotypic and environmental parameters between subjective wool and conformation traits with objective wool and live weight traits. The database contained records of 4 495 animals, the progeny of 449 sires and 1 831 dams, and born from 1989 to 2004.

Exploration of the Phytochemical and Antidiabetic Properties of Teucrium polium: A Natural Asset for Type 2 Diabetes Management

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Teucrium polium shows antidiabetic activity with its phytochemical composition and biological activities. The essential oil is rich in carvacrol, thymol, γ‐terpinene, and o‐cymene, while the aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts are characterized by poliumoside, verbascoside, isorhamnetin‐3‐O‐rutinoside, and apigenin‐7‐rutinoside. Antioxidant activity is

Effects of bioinsecticide exposure route on aphids and their natural enemies in oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Fatty acids, silicone polymers and surfactants reduced aphid numbers but caused natural enemy mortality under direct exposure, while minimal residual activity suggests potential for targeted, compatible use in integrated pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Myzus persicae Sulzer and Brevicoryne brassicae L.

Phenotypic Responses to Selection for Ultrafine Wool in Uruguayan Yearling Lambs

Agriculture, 2021
This study evaluated the phenotypic trends for wool and growth traits of the fine Merino genetic nucleus in Uruguay. Data were collected from one-year-old lambs over a twenty-year period (1999–2018).

Are human‐altered landscapes reshaping carnivore niche spaces in the Trans‐Himalaya?

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding carnivore interactions under growing human pressures is crucial for conservation. We examined spatial and temporal niche structuring among snow leopards Panthera uncia, Himalayan wolves Canis lupus chanco, and red foxes Vulpes vulpes; while also incorporating free‐ranging dogs Canis lupus familiaris as a human‐subsidized mesopredator ...
