We report the whole-genome sequence of common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). The 2.26-Gb genome a female was assembled using Sanger read data (6×) and shotgun strategy. A first analysis has permitted comparison with genomes apes Old World monkeys identification specific features that might contribute to unique biology this diminutive primate, including genetic changes may influence body size, frequent twinning chimerism. observed positive selection in growth hormone/insulin-like factor genes...
Sand mining, which has tripled in the last two decades, is an emerging concern for global biodiversity. However, paucity of sand mining data worldwide prevents understanding extent impacts and how it affects wildlife populations ecosystems, critical timely mitigation conservation actions. Integrating remote sensing field surveys over 14 years, we investigated on critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise ( Neophocaena asiaeorientalis ) Dongting Lake, China. We found that presented a...
A variant allele, ADH1B*48His, also known as ADH1B*2, at the human Alcohol Dehydrogenase 1B gene (ADH1B) is strongly associated with alcoholism in some populations and has an unusual geographic distribution. Strong evidence implies selection increased frequency of this allele East Asian but does not fully explain its pattern. We have studied haplotypes 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) two short tandem repeat (STRPs) ADH1B region 2,206 individuals from a worldwide set populations....
The ecological degradation of freshwater river and lake system has developed into a global crisis. From January 2020, "ten-year fishing ban" been conducted in the Yangtze River its affiliated lakes China, which is an unprecedented one most stringent biodiversity conservation plans World. However, there are still uncertainties about restorative effect, because river-lake isolation not properly addressed. To provide more references for management widespread sluice-controlled lakes, we...
Abstract The tremendous diversity of Hymenoptera is commonly attributed to the evolution parasitoidism in last common ancestor parasitoid sawflies (Orussidae) and wasp-waisted (Apocrita). However, Apocrita Orussidae differ dramatically their species richness, indicating that diversification was promoted by additional traits. These traits have remained elusive due a paucity sawfly genome sequences, particular those sawflies. Here, we present comparative analyses draft genomes primarily...

Abstract The Critically Endangered Yangtze finless porpoise ( Neophocaena asiaeorientalis ) is facing a significant threat from illegal fishing in Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake, current fisheries management has proved insufficient to eliminate fishing. A survey of local communities around the two lakes was conducted investigate activities their potential impacts. Using series six scenarios derived our data, we suggest that enhanced daytime patrols may have driven fishers conduct compensatory...
Abstract: Background: Of the seven known human alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) genes, nonliver expressed ADH7 gene codes for enzyme with highest maximal activity ethanol. Previous study from our laboratory has suggested that an epistatic role protection against alcoholism based on a single SNP. Methods: We have now studied SNPs, additional populations SNP previously examined, and six more new across 23 kb of in 38 population samples originating different geographical regions world. Results: The...
Abstract The Yangtze finless porpoise ( Neophocaena asiaeorientalis ), a critically endangered species, is the only cetacean species in River following functional extinction of baiji Lipotes vexillifer ). To inform conservation actions, two important questions need to be addressed: what threshold value survival rate, and population size? We calculate instantaneous rate increase ) for various combinations calf non‐calf rates. also test probability different minimum carrying capacities 100 500...
Abstract Citizen science is a popular method for the long‐term monitoring of distribution wild animals. The application these methods in different species and environments still poses challenges, especially aquatic In this study, we investigated Bryde's whale ( Balaenoptera edeni ) Beibu Gulf China by using scientific boat‐based surveys citizen approaches 2 data collection. First, built our mobile app (Whale Guard) installed it on fishermen's phones. Second, used instant messaging (WeChat)...
ABSTRACT Evaluating the effectiveness of freshwater protected areas (FPAs) is crucial for improving their performance, yet evidence remains limited. Using remote sensing and field surveys from 2001 to 2017, we examined FPA coverage, efficacy in preventing species decline habitat deterioration, strategies enhance critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise ( Neophocaena asiaeorientalis ). FPAs failed cover nearly half high‐abundance regions two thirds medium‐abundance areas. Despite...
