Significance A reduction in heterozygosity may limit the opportunity for species facing same selective pressures to evolve parallel adaptation. Examining 19 East Asian tits’ genomes, we find a pattern of lower western endemics compared with that found both eastern and widespread taxa, consistent expectations demographic contraction driven by late-Pleistocene climate fluctuations. Comparisons among endemic tits disproportionate levels genetic differentiation between pairs lowland highland...
Geological events and climatic changes played important roles in shaping population differentiation distribution within species. In China, populations many species have contracted expanded responding to environmental with the uplift of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) glacial cycles during Pleistocene. this study, we analysed structure Godlewski’s Bunting, Emberiza godlewskii, determine effects major historical events, geographic barriers past on phylogenetic divergence demographic dynamics A...
South China encompasses complex and diverse landforms, giving rise to high biological diversity endemism from the Hengduan Mountains Taiwan Island. Many species are widely distributed across with similar disjunct distribution patterns. To explore causes of these patterns their genetic consequences, we investigated endemic Père David's Chinese Vole (Eothenomys melanogaster) by integrating geological ecological factors. We analysed structure divergence time E. melanogaster based on...
Understanding whether species' elevational range is shifting in response to directional changes climate and there a predictable pattern that one of the major challenges ecology. However, so far very little known about distributional responses subtropical species change, especially for small mammals. In this study, we examined shifts at three points (upper lower limits abundance-weighted centre) rodents over 30-year period (1986 2014–2015), forest Southwest China. We also influences four...
Skeletal muscle plays a central role in regulating glucose uptake and body metabolism; however, highland hypoxia is severe challenge to aerobic metabolism small endotherms. Therefore, understanding the physiological genetic convergence of tolerance has potential broad range medical implications. Here we report experimentally validate common mechanism across multiple high-altitude songbirds that improvement insulin sensitivity contributes homeostasis, low oxygen consumption, relative...
Abstract Pleistocene climatic oscillations have played an important role in shaping many species’ current distributions. In recent years, there has been increasing interest studying the effects of glacial periods on East Asian birds. Integrated approaches allow us to study past distribution range changes due glaciation, and how these affected population genetic structure, especially for species with unusual patterns. The Wuyi disjunction is disjunct birds between Mountains south‐eastern...
Abstract The underlying mechanisms that allow the Hengduan Mountains (HDM), terrestrial biodiversity centre of China, to harbour high levels species diversity remain poorly understood. Here, we sought explore biogeographic history endemic rat, Niviventer andersoni complex (NASC), and understand long-term persistence in this region. In contrast previous studies have proposed regional refuges eastern or southern HDM emphasized influence climatic oscillations on local vertebrates, found as a...
Abstract Endotherms recently expanding to cold environments generally exhibit strong physiological acclimation sustain high body temperature. During this process, gut microbes likely play a considerable role in host functions, including digestion and thermogenesis. The light-vented bulbul Pycnonotus sinensis represents one such species. It used be restricted the Oriental realm but expanded its distribution range north Palearctic areas during past few decades. Here, we explored seasonal...
Genetic diversity is one of the three dimensions biodiversity and fundamental to various life forms on Earth. Understanding distribution pattern genetic its driving forces has been an important topic in ecology, biogeography conservation biology since last decade. We investigated passerine birds Mountains Southwest China, a global hotspot with highest species richness entire Eurasia, explored influencing environmental variables diversity. compiled 1189 Cytochrome b sequences 27 from 152...
Abstract Genetic diversity is an essential component of biodiversity. Developing robust quantification methods critically important in depicting the genetic underlying geographical distributions species, especially for sequence data with unequal lengths. Traditional calculation depends on sequences equal length. However, many homologous downloaded from online repositories vary length, posing a significant challenge to quantify diversity, haplotype diversity. We developed new approach...
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic rapid warming has caused decreases in richness and body mass of birds following the metabolic theory ecology; yet, pervasiveness these shifts remains controversial among different taxa. Here, by combining phylogenetic methods fossil data, we synthesized spatial patterns for 328 seabird species belonging to two groups: Procellariimorphae (PM) non‐Procellariimorphae (NPM). We found that relationship between richness, as well diversification rate, exhibits distinct...
Ylides are well-known reactive intermediates in organic synthesis, playing pivotal roles a variety of transformations, including Wittig and related reactions. However, due to challenges such as insufficient nucleophilicity, the synthesis pentagonal ylides has been rarely reported, with even fewer examples ylide synthesis. We have developed general electrochemical oxidative radical N-N bond cyclization strategy, enabling efficient new type ylide-like compound. This method is particularly...
