Are invasive species the drivers of ecological change?
Invasive species are widely accepted as one of the leading direct causes of biodiversity loss.
However, much of the evidence for this contention is based on simple correlations between …

Interactive effects of habitat modification and species invasion on native species decline
Different components of global environmental change are often studied and managed
independently, but mounting evidence points towards complex non-additive interaction effects …

Mother's curse: the effect of mtDNA on individual fitness and population viability
The mitochondrial genome is considered generally to be an innocent bystander in adaptive
evolution; however, there is increasing evidence that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is an …

[HTML][HTML] Underestimation of species richness in Neotropical frogs revealed by mtDNA analyses
…, A Gilles, M Vences, C Marty, M Blanc, NJ Gemmell - PLoS one, 2007 - journals.plos.org
Background Amphibians are rapidly vanishing. At the same time, it is most likely that the
number of amphibian species is highly underestimated. Recent DNA barcoding work has …

Haplotype-resolved assembly of diploid genomes without parental data
Routine haplotype-resolved genome assembly from single samples remains an unresolved
problem. Here we describe an algorithm that combines PacBio HiFi reads and Hi-C …

Consistent age-dependent declines in human semen quality: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Reduced fertility typically occurs among women in their late 30s, but increasing evidence
indicates that advanced paternal age is associated with changes in reproduction as well. …
