Journal ArticleDOI
Genome duplication events and functional reduction of ploidy levels in sturgeon (Acipenser, Huso and Scaphirhynchus).
TL;DR: Results suggest that gene silencing, chromosomal rearrangements, and transposition events played an important role in the acipenseriform genome formation and reveal a highly supported oceanic subdivision within the Acipenser/Huso complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of contaminants on genetic patterns in aquatic organisms: a review
TL;DR: A summary of contemporary genetic assessment methods and a review of published studies of genetic effects in field-exposed aquatic organisms are presented and evaluations of genetic patterns that use genetic adaptation, allozyme variation, and molecular genetic (DNA) variation are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multilocus Phylogenetics of a Rapid Radiation in the Genus Thomomys (Rodentia: Geomyidae)
TL;DR: Two approaches to estimating lineage (species) trees using multiple individuals and multiple loci are compared: the commonly used partitioned Bayesian analysis of concatenated sequences and a modification of a newly developed hierarchical Bayesian method (BEST) that simultaneously estimates gene trees and species trees from multilocus data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-Messinian Evolutionary Relationships Across the Sicilian Channel: Mitochondrial and Nuclear Markers Link a New Green Toad From Sicily to African Relatives
Matthias Stöck,Matthias Stöck,Alessandra Sicilia,Natalia M. Belfiore,David Buckley,Sabrina Lo Brutto,Mario Lo Valvo,Marco Arculeo +7 more
TL;DR: Green toads from Sicily and some surrounding islands are described as a new endemic species (Bufo siculus) and the first combined mitochondrial and nuclear sequence evidence for a phylogeographic connection across the Strait of Sicily in terrestrial vertebrates is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A serological assay with capability to detect anti-HEV-antibody across a wide variety of animal species was devised, and the role of other animals as reservoirs of its zoonotic spread appears to be limited.
