HISTORICAL ECOLOGY MEETS CONSERVATION AND EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS: A SECONDARY CONTACT ZONE BETWEEN CARABUS VIOLACEUS (COLEOPTERA, CARABIDAE) POPULATIONS INHABITING ANCIENT AND RECENT WOODLANDS IN NORTH-WESTERN GERMANY

Only very few cases have beanie documented that an increase in connectivity after a period of fragmentation in ecological time has had an effect on the distribution, genetic structure and morphology of stenotopic species.In this study we present an example of clinal variability in a woodland ground beetle as a result of changes in the connectivity

Abstract Background Growing evidence has indicated the vital parts of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in modulating the progression of assorted human cancers, including cervical cancer (CC).Nevertheless, the role and mechanism of aspartyl-tRNA synthetase antisense RNA 1 (DARS-AS1) have been not comprehensively illustrated Dining Tables in CC yet.Met

When animals and their offspring are threatened, parents switch from self-defense to offspring protection.How self-defense is suppressed remains elusive.We postulated that suppression of the self-defense response, freezing, is gated via oxytocin acting in the centro-lateral amygdala (CeL).We found that rat dams conditioned to fear an odor, froze wh

Rheumatic heart disease [RHD] is the most prevalent cause of valvular heart disease in the world, outstripping degenerative aortic stenosis numbers fourfold.Despite this, global resources are firmly aimed at improving the management of degenerative disease.Reasons remain complex and include lack of resources, expertise, and overall access to valve
