Comparative Mitogenome Analysis of Two Native Apple Snail Species (Ampullariidae, Pomacea) from Peruvian Amazon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Apple snails of the genus Pomacea Perry, 1810 (Mollusca: Caenogastropoda: Ampullariidae) are native to the Neotropics and exhibit high species diversity, holding cultural and ecological significance as an important protein ... -
Comparative performance of the BGISEQ-500 vs Illumina HiSeq2500 sequencing platforms for palaeogenomic sequencing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Ancient DNA research has been revolutionized following development of next-generation sequencing platforms. Although a number of such platforms have been applied to ancient DNA samples, the Illumina series are the dominant ... -
Comparative transcriptomics reveals candidate carotenoid color genes in an East African cichlid fish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Carotenoids contribute significantly to animal body coloration, including the spectacular color pattern diversity among fishes. Fish, as other animals, derive carotenoids from their diet. Following uptake, ... -
Competitors and ruderals go to town: plant community composition and function along an urbanisation gradient
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Urbanisation is expected to function as a filter for plant species by changing the physiochemical environment, causing species turnover along an urbanisation gradient. Analyses of the functional traits of species characteristic ... -
Conservation genomics of the endangered Seychelles Magpie-Robin (Copsychus sechellarum): a unique insight into the history of a precious endemic bird
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Seychelles Magpie-Robin Copsychus sechellarum is an IUCN Red-List Endangered species endemic to the Seychelles, whose population was reduced to eight individuals on a single island in the 1960s. Translocations from the ... -
Conservation implications of elucidating the Korean wolf taxonomic ambiguity through whole-genome sequencing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The taxonomic status of the now likely extirpated Korean Peninsula wolf has been extensively debated, with some arguing it represents an independent wolf lineage, Canis coreanus. To investigate the Korean wolf's genetic ... -
Conserved Molecular Players Involved in Human Nose Morphogenesis Underlie Evolution of the Exaggerated Snout Phenotype in Cichlids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Instances of repeated evolution of novel phenotypes can shed light on the conserved molecular mechanisms underlying morphological diversity. A rare example of an exaggerated soft tissue phenotype is the formation of a snout ... -
Considerations and consequences of allowing DNA sequence data as types of fungal taxa
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Nomenclatural type definitions are one of the most important concepts in biological nomenclature. Being physical objects that can be re-studied by other researchers, types permanently link taxonomy (an artificial agreement ... -
Continuous and discontinuous variation in ecosystem carbon stocks with elevation across a treeline ecotone
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Treelines differentiate vastly contrasting ecosystems: open tundra from closed forest. Treeline advance has implications for the climate system due to the impact of the transition from tundra to forest ecosystem on ... -
Contrasting genomic consequences of anthropogenic reintroduction and natural recolonization in high-arctic wild reindeer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Anthropogenic reintroduction can supplement natural recolonization in reestablishing a species' distribution and abundance. However, both reintroductions and recolonizations can give rise to founder effects that reduce ... -
Contrasting Patterns of Genetic Structuring in Natural Populations of Arabidopsis lyrata Subsp. petraea across Different Regions in Northern Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-09-16)Level and partitioning of genetic diversity is expected to vary between contrasting habitats, reflecting differences in strength of ecological and evolutionary processes. Therefore, it is necessary to consider processes ... -
Contrasting spatial, temporal and environmental patterns in observation and specimen based species occurrence data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Species occurrence data records the location and time of an encounter with a species, and is valuable for many aspects of ecological and evolutionary analyses. A key distinction within species occurrence data is between ... -

Contribution to the knowledge of the lichen mycota of myanmar (Ii) heterocyphelium triseptatum (lecanographaceae) newly recorded from asia and its molecular phylogenetic position
(Journal article, 2021)Heterocyphelium triseptatum is newly recorded from Asia. The species was previously known only from South America and Africa. It was collected from the bark of a broadleaf tree at 35 m elevation in the Tanintharyi Region ... -
Contributions to the lichen flora of Norway, primarily from the central and northern counties
(Gunneria, 0332-8554; 65, Research report, 1991)New distributional data are given on 52 lichen species from Norway. Anisomeridium nyssaegenum, Lecideasphaerella, Sarcosagium campestre, Scoliciosporum perpusillum and Strangospora pinicola are new to Norway. 30 species ... -
Cool as a moose: How can browsing counteract climate warming effects across boreal forest ecosystems?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Herbivory has potential to modify vegetation responses to climatic changes. However, climate and herbivory also affect each other, and rarely work in isolation from other ecological factors, such as plant–plant competition. ... -
Corals as substrate for tube-dwelling anemones
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study is about seven individuals of Botrucnidifer norvegicus Carlgren, 1912 (Anthozoa, Ceriantharia) that were attached to a stony deep-sea coral, Desmophyllum pertusum Linnaeus, 1758 (Anthozoa, Scleractinia). They ... -
Coverage and quality of DNA barcode references for Central and Northern European Odonata
