Whole-Genome Re-Sequencing Data to Infer Historical Demography and Speciation Processes in Land Snails: the Study of Two Candidula Sister Species
(The Royal Society, 2021-05-24)
Despite the global biodiversity of terrestrial gastropods and their ecological and economic importance, the genomic basis of ecological adaptation and speciation in land snail taxa is still largely unknown. Here, we combined ...
Experimental Simulation of Environmental Warming Selects against Pigmented Morphs of Land Snails
(Wiley, 2021-02)
In terrestrial snails, thermal selection acts on shell coloration. However, the biological relevance of small differences in the intensity of shell pigmentation and the associated thermodynamic, physiological, and evolutionary ...
De Novo Genome Assembly of the Raccoon Dog (Nyctereutes Procyonoides)
(Frontiers Media, 2021-04-29)
The raccoon dog, Nyctereutes procyonoides (NCBI Taxonomy ID: 34880, Figure 1a) belongs to the family Canidae, with foxes (genus Vulpes) being their closest relatives (Lindblad-Toh et al., 2005; Sun et al., 2019). Its ...
Recombination within the Cepaea Nemoralis Supergene is Confounded by Incomplete Penetrance and Epistasis
(Springer, 2019-02-14)
Although the land snail Cepaea nemoralis is one of the most thoroughly investigated colour polymorphic species, there have been few recent studies on the inheritance of the shell traits. Previously, it has been shown that ...
The Ocean Sampling Day Consortium
(Biomed Central, 2015-06-19)
Ocean Sampling Day was initiated by the EU-funded Micro B3 (Marine Microbial Biodiversity, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology) project to obtain a snapshot of the marine microbial biodiversity and function of the world's oceans. ...
DNA Damage and Transcriptional Changes in the Gills of Mytilus galloprovincialis Exposed to Nanomolar Doses of Combined Metal Salts (Cd, Cu, Hg)
(PloS ONE, 2013)
[ENG]Aiming at an integrated and mechanistic view of the early biological effects of selected metals in the marine sentinel
organism Mytilus galloprovincialis, we exposed mussels for 48 hours to 50, 100 and 200 nM solutions ...
Replicated anthropogenic hybridisations reveal parallel patterns of admixture in marine mussels
(Wiley, 2020-03)
Human-mediated transport creates secondary contacts between genetically differentiated lineages, bringing new opportunities for gene exchange. When similar introductions occur in different places, they provide informally ...
Patterns of genetic variation in the endangered European mink (Mustela lutreola L., 1761)
(Biomed Central, 2015-07-17)
Background: 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 of this ...
Myth-busting the provider-user relationship for digital sequence information.
(Oxford University Press, 2021-12-29)
[EN] BACKGROUND: The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) formally recognized the sovereign rights of nations over their biological diversity. Implicit within the treaty is the idea that mega-biodiverse ...
Molecular phylogeny of the genus Chondrina (Gastropoda, Panpulmonata, Chondrinidae) in the Iberian Peninsula.
(Elsevier, 2022-07)
[EN] Chondrina Reichenbach, 1828 is a highly diverse genus of terrestrial molluscs currently including 44 species with about 28 subspecific taxa. It is distributed through North Africa, central and southern Europe, from ...
