Adaptation to specialized diets often requires modifications at both genomic and microbiome levels. We applied a hologenomic approach the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus), one of only three obligate blood-feeding (sanguivorous) mammals, study evolution its complex dietary adaptation. Specifically, we assembled high-quality reference genome (scaffold N50 = 26.9 Mb, contig 36.6 kb) gut metagenome, compared them against those insectivorous, frugivorous carnivorous bats. Our analyses...
Abstract While environmental DNA (eDNA) is becoming increasingly established in biodiversity monitoring of freshwater ecosystems, the use eDNA surveys marine environment still its infancy. Here, we two approaches: targeted quantitative PCR (qPCR) and whole‐genome enrichment capture followed by shotgun sequencing an effort to amplify killer whale from seawater samples. Samples were collected close proximity whales inshore offshore waters, varying sea conditions surface subsurface but none...
Zoonoses are among the greatest threats to human health, with many zoonotic pathogens believed have emerged during prehistory. Palaeomicrobiological investigations of zooarchaeological record hold potential uncover reservoirs, host ranges, and adaptations but face challenges in identifying promising specimens pathogen DNA preservation. We performed palaeopathological genetic examinations 346 skeletal elements from domesticated wild animals collected 34 Eurasian sites dating across last six...
The domestic dog has inhabited the anthropogenic niche for at least 15 000 years, but despite their impact on human strategies, lives of dogs and interactions with humans have only recently become a subject interest to archaeologists. In Arctic, rely exclusively food during winter, while stable isotope analyses revealed dietary similarities some sites, deciphering details provisioning strategies been challenging. this study, we apply zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry (ZooMS) liquid...
