This study identifies generation-specific DNA methylation signatures associated with parasitic infection in loggerhead sea turtles and demonstrates their potential as biomarkers.

The paper shows that warming-induced female-biased sex ratios in sea turtles create false conservation success by inflating population growth before male scarcity causes collapse.

The paper examines how habitat fragmentation affects multi-trophic communities in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, finding nested structures and high beta-diversity across trophic levels.

This study shows that small island populations of anoa and babirusa have higher genetic quality despite lower diversity, suggesting they should be prioritized for conservation over mainland translocations.

This study identifies unique cardiac metabolic adaptations in Egyptian fruit bats using metabolomics and computational modeling, revealing reliance on lipid oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation.

The paper identifies 62 candidate genes showing molecular convergence in ash tree lineages with low susceptibility to ash dieback, with 11 linked to defense against fungal pathogens.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome and methylome for loggerhead sea turtles, linking genetic and epigenetic diversity to conservation insights.

This study identifies DNA methylation changes in loggerhead sea turtles exposed to higher incubation temperatures, suggesting sublethal effects of thermal stress on hatchling quality and adaptive potential.

The study examines how individual species respond to tropical forest degradation, finding significant variation in responses across populations and surveys.

The paper compares sequencing methods for recovering olfactory receptor genes in vampire bats, finding targeted sequence capture outperforms RNA-Seq and Sanger sequencing.

The paper examines the genetic basis of visual opsin variation in bats, finding that loss of S-opsin occurs through disruptions at different stages of protein synthesis and is linked to ecological factors.
