Generalized hybridization between commercial and native individuals of bumble bees
Every year more than 1 million commercial bumblebee colonies are deployed in greenhouses worldwide for their pollination services. While commercial pollinators have been an enormous benefit for...
Genetic variability of red swamp crayfish reveals its invasion process
Patterns of genetic diversity in invasive populations can be modulated by a range of factors acting at different stages of the invasion process, including the genetic composition of the source...
Impairment of mixed melanin-based pigmentation in parrots
Parrots and allies (Order Psittaciformes) have evolved an exclusive capacity to synthesize polyene pigments called psittacofulvins at feather follicles, which allows them to produce a striking...
Higher epigenetic diversity could alleviate the loss of genetic diversity
Genetic diversity is generally considered the chief determinant of evolutionary change, but epigenetic diversity is now recognized as another layer of heritable variation with potential adaptive...
Survival probability was similar in translocated and non-translocated eagles when subject to similar generic conservation management
In long-lived species, usually with deferred maturity and low release numbers, the success of conservation translocations is especially sensitive to survival and site fidelity during the prolonged...
