Polyploidy complicates transcriptional regulation and increases phenotypic diversity in organisms. The dynamics of genetic regulation of gene expression between coresident subgenomes in polyploids remains to be understood. Here we document the genetic re
Here, we investigated the genetic basis of bird song rhythm in two vocal non-learning species ofPogoniulustinkerbirds, African barbets (Piciformes: Lybiidae), that are widely distributed across Sub-Saharan Africa (Fig.1a) and emit remarkably simple rhythmic songs26. Their songs comprise a repeti...
(FAB) type tholeiitic melt parental to the crustal lithologies was extracted from the upwelling asthenospheric mantle at SSZ fore-arc extensional regime thereby rendering a refractory re- sidual upper mantle; (ii) the crust and upper mantle of the SSZ fore arc were progressively refertilised ...
Intersectionality is a concept that originated in Black feminist movements in the US-American context of the 1970s and 1980s, particularly in the work of feminist scholar and lawyer Kimberlé W. Crenshaw. Intersectional approaches aim to highlight the interconnectedness of gender and sexuality with o...
At present, studies on ecosystem health mainly focus on the following categories: First, the exploration of the concept and basic context of ecosystem health (Reynoldson and Metcalfe-Smith, 1992); Second, the construction and quantitative assessment of ecosystem health assessment framework (Duo et ...
We used ancestry informative markers (AIMs) and phenotypic data on left-ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) collected in the context of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) to address two related questions: (1) what agreement is there between SRE and clusters created based on the genotyped...
Their findings regarding portfolio weights and hedge effectiveness underscore hedging gains; however, they divulge that the cost of hedging has increased during the pandemic. In a recent study, relevant in the context of the present paper, Pagnottoni (2023) analyzes the topology of shock ...
Through human-aided dispersal over the last ~ 10,000 years, house mice (Mus musculus) have recently colonized diverse habitats across the globe, promoting the emergence of new traits that confer adaptive advantages in distinct environments. Despite
The concept of tourism economic resilience emphasizes the sustainable development level of tourism economy under uncertainty and risk. Focusing on urban agglomerations, this study aims to describe how the tourism economic resilience is developing, explor
All these results indicate that, in addition to B-cell-intrinsic alterations, defects in other immune cell compartments might compromise the correct B-cell response in the context of this primary immunodeficiency. Epigenetic, transcriptional, and communication changes in a CVID cohort ...
