Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing has had a major role in the overexploitation of global fish populations. In response, international regulations have been imposed many fisheries 'eco-certified' by consumer organizations, but methods for independent control catch certificates eco-labels are urgently needed. Here we show that, using gene-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms, individual marine can be assigned back to population origin with unprecedented high levels precision....
The brown bear Ursus arctos L., 1758 population of the Cantabrian Mountains (northwestern Spain) became isolated from other populations in Europe about 500 years ago and has declined due to hunting habitat degradation. At beginning 20th century, split into eastern western subpopulations, genetic exchange between them ceased. In early 1990s, total size was estimated be < 100 bears. Subsequently, reduction human-caused mortality brought an increase numbers, mainly subpopulation, likely...
Marine pelagic fishes exhibit rather complex patterns of genetic differentiation, which are the result both historical processes and present day gene flow. Comparative multi-locus analyses based on nuclear mitochondrial markers probably most efficient informative approach to discerning relative role events life-history traits in shaping heterogeneity. The European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) is a small fish with relatively high migratory capability that expected show low levels...
Large pelagic fishes are generally thought to have little population genetic structuring based on their cosmopolitan distribution, large sizes and high dispersal capacities. However, gene flow can be influenced by ecological (e.g. homing behaviour) physical present-day ocean currents, past changes in sea temperature levels) factors. In this regard, Atlantic bigeye tuna shows an interesting pattern with two highly divergent mitochondrial clades (Clades I II), which assumed been originated...

Abstract Comparative phylogeography offers a unique opportunity to understand the interplay between past environmental events and life‐history traits on diversification of unrelated but co‐distributed species. Here, we examined effects quaternary climate fluctuations palaeomarine currents present‐day marine extant patterns genetic diversity in two most conspicuous mangrove species Neotropics. The black ( Avicennia germinans, Avicenniaceae) red Rhizophora mangle , Rhizophoraceae) mangroves...
Replication stress, a major cause of genome instability in cycling cells, is mainly prevented by the ATR-dependent replication stress response pathway somatic cells. However, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) may be different due to alterations cell cycle phase length. The transcription factor MYBL2, which implicated regulation, expressed hundred thousand-fold more ESCs compared with Here we show that MYBL2 activates ATM and suppresses ESCs. Consequently, loss or inhibition Mre11 results fork...
Understanding patterns of genetic structure is fundamental for developing successful management programmes deme-structured organisms, such as amphibians. We used five microsatellite loci and DNA sequences the mitochondrial control region to assess relative influences landscape (geographic distance, altitude rivers corridors dispersal) historical factors on gene flow in populations toad Bufo bufo Central Spain. sampled 175 individuals from eight distributed along two major river drainages...
The European mink (Mustela lutreola, L. 1761) is a critically endangered mustelid, which inhabits several main river drainages in Europe. Here, we assess the genetic variation of existing populations this species, including new sampling sites and additional molecular markers (newly developed microsatellite loci specific to mink) as compared previous studies. Probabilistic analyses were used examine structure within between populations, infer phylogeographic processes past demography....
Multiple parasitism of host nests by generalist brood parasites reflects the decisions laying females and may influence development behavior parasitic young. We used microsatellite mtDNA control-region haplotype data to examine relatedness Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) offspring in multiply parasitized sampled from a heavily community northeastern Kansas. also examined how nest availability influenced degree multiple parasitism, community-wide explore whether female cowbirds were...
Abstract The Middle East contains a great diversity of Capoeta species, but their taxonomy remains poorly described. We used mitochondrial history to examine the algae‐scraping cyprinid in Iran, applying species‐delimiting approaches General Mixed Yule‐Coalescent ( GMYC ) and Poisson Tree Process PTP as well haplotype network analyses. Using BEAST program, we also examined temporal divergence patterns . monophyly genus existence three previously described main clades (Mesopotamian,...
Abstract The European mink ( Mustela lutreola L., 1761) is an endangered carnivore species whose populations suffered a severe decline during the last century. genotyping of eight polymorphic microsatellite loci revealed relatively low number alleles per locus (two to eight), as well levels polymorphism (observed and expected heterozygosity values were 0.49 0.54, respectively). Cross‐specific polymerase chain reaction amplifications successful in seven closely related mustelid suggesting...
We present a set of multiscale, multidirectional, rotation-invariant features for color texture characterization. The proposed model is based on the ranklet transform, technique relying calculation relative rank intensity level neighboring pixels. Color and are merged into compact descriptor by computing transform each channel separately couples channels jointly. Robustness against rotation use circularly symmetric neighborhoods together with discrete Fourier transform. Experimental results...

Common raven (Corvus corax) populations in Mojave Desert regions of southern California and Nevada have increased dramatically over the past five decades. This growth has been attributed to human development region, as ravens a commensal relationship with humans feed extensively at landfills on road-killed wildlife. Ravens, partially subsidized predator, also represent problem for native desert wildlife, particular threatened tortoises (Gopherus agassizii). However, it is unclear whether...
