Membrane-Bound Class III Peroxidases: Unexpected Enzymes with Exciting Functions
(MDPI, 2018-09-21)
[Abstract] Class III peroxidases are heme-containing proteins of the secretory pathway with a high redundance and versatile functions. Many soluble peroxidases have been characterized in great detail, whereas only a few ...
Population genetic analysis of "Ensis directus" unveils high genetic variation in the introduced range and reveals a new species from the NW Atlantic
(Springer Nature, 2012-07-31)
[Abstract] We report current genetic variation of populations of the razor shell Ensis directus (Conrad 1843) (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Pharidae) in native (North American) and introduced (European) ranges using nuclear and ...
Genetic heterogeneity in natural beds of the razor clam "Ensis siliqua" revealed by microsatellites
(Cambridge University Press, 2011-06-09)
[Abstract] The aim of this study was to analyse the genetic diversity and population structure in the razor clam Ensis siliqua along the European Atlantic coast taking into account their recent history of exploitation and ...
The 5S rDNA gene family in mollusks: characterization of transcriptional regulatory regions, prediction of secondary structures, and long-term evolution, with special attention to Mytilidae mussels
(Oxford University Press, 2011-07-01)
[Abstract] Several reports on the characterization of 5S ribosomal DNA (5S rDNA) in various animal groups have been published to date, but there is a lack of studies analyzing this gene family in a much broader context. ...
Environmental temperatures shape thermal physiology as well as diversification and genome-wide substitution rates in lizards
(Springer Nature, 2019-09-09)
[Abstract] Climatic conditions changing over time and space shape the evolution of organisms at multiple levels, including temperate lizards in the family Lacertidae. Here we reconstruct a dated phylogenetic tree of 262 ...
Species delimitation and DNA barcoding of Atlantic Ensis (Bivalvia, Pharidae)
(Wiley, 2013-09-03)
[Abstract] Ensis Schumacher, 1817 razor shells occur at both sides of the Atlantic and along the Pacific coasts of tropical west America, Peru, and Chile. Many of them are marketed in various regions. However, the absence ...
Molecular organization and phylogenetic analysis of 5S rDNA in crustaceans of the genus "Pollicipes" reveal birth-and-death evolution and strong purifying selection
(BioMed Central, 2011-10-17)
[Abstract]
Background: The 5S ribosomal DNA (5S rDNA) is organized in tandem arrays with repeat units that consist of a transcribing region (5S) and a variable nontranscribed spacer (NTS), in higher eukaryotes. Until ...
Phenotypic and Environmental Correlates of Natal Dispersal Movements in Fragmented Landscapes
(Springer, 2022)
[Abstract] Context
Natal dispersal critically influences eco-evolutionary dynamics and the persistence of spatially structured populations. As both short- and long-distance movements contribute to population persistence ...
Translocation in Relict Shy-Selected Animal Populations: Program Success Versus Prevention of Wildlife-Human Conflict
(Elsevier, 2022-03-11)
[Abstract] Past human persecution of wildlife has acted as a major selection agent shaping many animal features including behaviour. A major component of behaviour with diverse consequences for conservation is the ...
Karyotypes and Ag-NORs of the mussels Mytilus californianus and M. trossulus from the Pacific Canadian coast
(Elsevier, 1997-01-01)
[Abstract] The karyotypes and the nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) of “M. californianus” and “M. trossulus” from the Pacific coast are reported here for the first time. The karyotypes show seven metacentric and seven ...
