The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is currently threatened by habitat loss, fragmentation, and human persecution. Its dietary specialization, isolation, reproductive constraints have led to a perception that this species at an "evolutionary dead end," destined for deterministic extinction in the modern world. Here we examine comprehensive investigation of its genetic diversity, population structure, demographic history across geographic range. We present analysis 655 base pairs...

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic reflect the evolutionary potential history of species, respectively. However, levels spatial patterns genetic wildlife at regional scale have largely remained unclear. Here, we performed meta-analyses in Chinese terrestrial vertebrates based on three markers investigated their a dated tree 2461 species. We detected strong positive correlations among mitochondrial DNA-based diversity, species richness. Moreover, harbored higher South China Southwest than...

Abstract Emerging evidence from genomics gives us a glimpse into the potential contribution of lysogenic bacteriophages (phages) to environmental adaptability their hosts. However, it is challenging quantify this kind due lack appropriate genetic markers and associated controllable factors. Here, based on unique transformable nature arsenic (the factor), series flooding microcosms was established investigate arsM-bearing phages hosts’ adaptation trivalent [As(III)] toxicity, where arsM...

The Anseriformes is a well-known and widely distributed bird order, with more than 150 species in the world. This paper aims to revise classification, determine phylogenetic relationships diversification patterns by exploring Cyt b, ND2, COI genes complete mitochondrial genomes (mito-genomes). Molecular phylogeny genetic distance analyses suggest that Dendrocygna should be considered as an independent family, Dendrocygnidae, rather member of Anatidae. timescale suggests ancestral occurred...

Abstract Muntjac deer have experienced drastic karyotype changes during their speciation, making it an ideal model for studying mechanisms and functional consequences of mammalian chromosome evolution. Here we generated chromosome-level genomes Hydropotes inermis (2n = 70), Muntiacus reevesi 46), female male M. crinifrons 8/9) a contig-level genome gongshanensis 8/9). These high-quality combined with Hi-C data allowed us to reveal the evolution 3D chromatin architectures We find that fusion...

The giant panda ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca ) was taken to the brink of extinction in 1980s through a combination deforestation, large‐scale loss bamboo core its range, poaching, and zoo collection, causing over 1000 deaths from 1950s. It thought that drastic population decline likely impose severe impact on viability. Here, based temporal genotyping individuals, we show this rapid did not significantly reduce overall effective size genetic variation species, or two focal populations (Minshan...

Climate oscillation may have a profound effect on species distributions, gene flow patterns and population demography. In response to environmental change, those restricted montane habitats experienced expansions contractions along elevation gradients, which can drive differentiation among sky islands. The Shangcheng stout salamander (Pachyhynobius shangchengensis) is cool stream amphibian high-elevation areas in the Dabie Mountains, East China. present study, we used mtDNA genes (Cyt b ND2)...

Abstract Species of the order Crocodylia are mostly large, predatory and semi-aquatic reptiles. Crocodylia, closest living relatives birds, first appeared in Late Cretaceous period. In present study, complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes 19 species, including two species (Melanosuchus niger Caiman yacare) that have not been previously sequenced for mitogenomes, were processed through Illumina sequencing to offer genetic resources compare with mitogenomes reported previously. addition, a...

A majority of microplastics (MPs) in wastewater treatment plants are aggregated waste activated sludge (WAS) and potentially threaten the subsequent anaerobic digestion. Meanwhile, many physical chemical techniques have been used as pretreatment methods to improve digestion WAS. However, effects frequently pretreatments on MPs during WAS remain poorly characterized. Here, impacts (ultrasonic thermal methods) (alkaline Fenton performance containing polystyrene (PS-MPs) were investigated....

Breakdown of the blood-central nervous system barrier (BCNSB) is a hallmark many neuroinflammatory disorders, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Using mouse model MS, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), we show that endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) occurs in CNS before onset clinical symptoms and plays major role breakdown BCNSB function. EndoMT can be induced by an IL-1β-stimulated signaling pathway which activation small GTPase ADP ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6)...

Optical resonance modes have been observed in optically pumped microdisk cavities fabricated from 50 Å/50 Å GaN/AlxGa1−xN(x∼0.07) and 45 Å/45 InxGa1−xN/GaN(x∼0.15) multiple quantum well structures. Microdisks, approximately 9 μm diameter regularly spaced every μm, were formed by an ion beam etch process. Individual disks at 300 10 K with 290 nm laser pulses focused to a spot size much smaller than the disk diameter. corresponding (i) radial mode type spacing of 49–51 meV (both TE TM) (ii)...

Establishing and managing nature reserves to mitigate wildlife habitat loss fragmentation is challenging, particularly in the face of increasing human activity. To understand how coexists environments affected by anthropogenic disturbances, we conducted a 19-month survey examining Reeves’s pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesii) Koklass (Pucrasia macrolopha) Anhui Tianma National Nature Reserve, China. Previous studies large terrestrial birds focused primarily on livestock impacts, with less...

ABSTRACT Emberiza buntings (Aves: Emberizidae) exhibit extensive diversity and rapid diversification within the Old World, particularly in eastern Palearctic, making them valuable models for studying radiation among sympatric species. Despite their ecological morphological diversity, there remains a significant gap understanding genomic underpinnings driving speciation. To fill this gap, we assembled high‐quality chromosome‐level genomes of five representative species ( E. aureola , pusilla...
