The preservation of rare and vulnerable narrow endemics is a key issue in biological conservation since they represents distinct evolutionary units emerging from various temporal processes. Phylogeography has proved to be a relevant tool for the distinction of evolutionary structures resulting from ...
While natural hybridization has been widely acknowledged as a powerful evolutionary force6,7, during last decades anthropogenic hybridization considerably contributed to threat the genomic integrity and survival of a number oftaxathrough the introgression of alien or domestic alleles in the gene pool of ...
Silver Pheasants (Lophura nycthemera) and endemic White-necklaced Partridges (Arborophila gingica) have a moderate overlap in their geographic ranges, especially in Nanling Mountains, where Chebaling National Nature Reserve is located (Zhao2001; Zheng2017). Previous studies indicated that Silver Pheas...
The study site is a rural African setting with high child-mortality, a low prevalence of HIV-1 infection in pregnant mothers, and with endemic malaria. The authors report a vaccine efficacy of 37% (95% CI 27鈥 45%) against first-episodes of radiological pneumonia in a per-protocol ...
In this particular case, this results in an individualization of racism, which therefore becomes decontextualized and depoliticized. While those tweeting revel in and enjoy their shared moral position, actual endemic structural racism in society remains invisible, and they misrepresent, arguably, the ...
is a rare endemic found in the Appalachian Mountains and Upper Piedmont of the southeastern United States. It is being decimated by the hemlock woolly adelgid ( Adelges tsugae Annand), an exotic pest introduced into the region from Japan several decades ago. We examine ecological, genetic and ...
In Texas, the vegetation is diverse, containing scrub, shrubs, and trees while in the highly endemic ENP the landscape is relatively homogenous grassland. In ENP, anthrax is most frequently found in grazing animals, including zebra [24]. It has been shown that B. anthracis is associated with...
