DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-03809-4
Abstract: Among seven species of the order Eulipotyphla (from southern Gansu and northern Sichuan Provinces, Central China) studied cytogenetically, karyotypes of one talpid species, Uropsilus aff. soricipes (2n = 36, NFa = 54), and three soricid species, Chodsigoa hypsibia (2n = 65,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkz1140
Abstract: Abstract Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are short non-protein-coding RNAs with a long-recognized role in tuning ribosomal and spliceosomal function by guiding ribose methylation and pseudouridylation at targeted nucleotide residues of ribosomal and small nuclear RNAs,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14262
Abstract: The effective population size (Ne) is a central factor in determining maintenance of genetic variation. The neutral theory predicts that loss of variation depends on Ne, with less genetic drift in larger populations. We monitored… read more here.

DOI: 10.1656/058.019.0103
Abstract: Abstract Global pollinator declines have stimulated efforts to better understand local pollinator diversity. Urban greenspaces, such as parks and gardens, have the potential to serve as refuges for pollinators within urban landscapes. In this study,… read more here.

Endemism and diversity of small mammals along two neighboring Bornean mountains
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.7858
Abstract: Mountains offer replicated units with large biotic and abiotic gradients in a reduced spatial scale. This transforms them into well-suited scenarios to evaluate biogeographic theories. Mountain biogeography is a hot topic of research and many… read more here.
