DOI: 10.1111/1365-2664.12809

Abstract: Wildfires are increasing in both frequency and intensity in many ecosystems, with climate change models predicting further escalations in fire-prone environments. Set against this background is the global decline of amphibians, with up to 40%… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.13987

Abstract: The putatively positive association between host genetic diversity and the ability to defend against pathogens has long attracted the attention of evolutionary biologists. Chytridiomycosis, a disease caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.960958

Abstract: Massive defaunation and high extinction rates have become characteristic of the Anthropocene. Genetic effects of population decline can lead populations into an extinction vortex, where declining populations show lower genetic fitness, in turn leading to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology11020252

Abstract: Simple Summary Bangladesh has substantially increased aquaculture production over the last few decades, and the exotic species share a significant portion of the total fish production. Although exotic species are contributing to aquaculture production, a… read more here.

3 Published in 2023 at "Plants"

DOI: 10.3390/plants12030541

Abstract: When a seed produced by a single-cross (SC) maize hybrid is sown, the resulting grain yield is usually lower than that of the hybrid due to the inbreeding generated. However, if a seed from a… read more here.
