Dipterocarp trees are iconic but severely threatened species in Asian rainforests. This study assembles high-quality genomes of seven dipterocarp species to reveal the molecular basis of key adaptations and identifies a recent sharp population decline coinciding with local human activity. ...
The general anatomy of the gills complies with the general pattern in fish. Several adaptations though, show the highly specialized nature of pipefish gills. The filaments are extremely short, few in number and carry only a few lamellae due to the limited space in the branchial cavity. The ...

Mammals, arthropods, etc. External Fertilization Union of gametes outside the body of a parent Ex. Fish, amphibians, etc. Animal Adaptations Teeth Structure Beak Structure Blunt vs sharp ...
Structural adaptations of lactate dehydrogenase isozymes The three-dimensional structures of dogfish M4(muscle) and pig H4(heart) lactate dehydrogenase (L-lactate:NAD+oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.27) have been determ... W Eventoff,MG Rossmann,SS Taylor,... - 《Proceedings of the National Academy of...
(flow, sediment deposits, presence of plants along the banks), resulting in the coexistence of ecologically heterogeneous elements. There is a continuous range of responses, adaptations, and tolerances to the conditions associated with the flow and distance to the dam. There are no apparent groups...

A total of 13,201 high confidence structural variants and 103,730 polymorphic tandem repeats (with a repeat length of 2-20 bp) were profiled in the founders. We observed a moderate to high (rfrom 0.48 to 0.57) level of co-localization between SNPs or small indels and structural variants ...
S Kiel - 《Journal of Paleontology》 被引量: 214发表: 2006年 Assessment of intertidal growth and capacity adaptations in suspension-feeding bivalves Curves relating instantaneous growth rate to aerial exposure were determined for six species of bivalves in laboratory and shore experiments. A dimension...
Symmetry in nature often emerges from self-assembly processes and serves a wide range of functions. Cell surface layers (S-layers) form symmetrical lattices on many bacterial and archaeal cells, playing essential roles such as facilitating cell adhesion,
Yaks are members of the tribeBovini, which comprises several other large domestic or wild ruminant species exhibiting different degrees of cross-fertility and contrasting climate adaptations1,2,3,4. The wild yak (Bos mutus), of which there are now around 15,000 individuals in the wild, has ...
