Scientists Uncover Genetic Secrets of Butternuts

An international collaboration reveals the genetic secrets of endangered species, from trees to cockatoos to deep-sea corals. Butternuts are soft and oily, with a light walnut flavor that lingers on the tongue. Despite its unique flavor, few Americans have tasted this endangered native. Now, Univer ....

"The conservation genomics of three Australian mammal species: Petaurus" by Monica Leigh Knipler

The earth is entering a sixth mass extinction, and terrestrial mammal extinctions in Australia have occurred at a faster rate in the last 200 years than any other country in the world. When a threatened mammal species experiences inbreeding depression, genetic drift or a genetic bottleneck, their risk of extinction increases. Researching and detecting these processes is crucial as it allows managers to initiate genetic rescue before it is too late. Conservation genomics is a field that provides vital information to species managers, with genome-complexity reduction techniques detecting thousands of genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Genome-wide SNPs provide researchers with precise estimates of population genetic diversity and structure and can be used to identify candidate adaptive loci. Such information is vital for species management plans and recovery actions.
This thesis used genome-wide SNPs and mitochondrial DNA to investigate the population genomics, hybridi ....

Microplastics are harming gut health: Microplastic pollution is altering the gut microbiomes of wild seabirds, and humans should be wary too

Scientists have found evidence that microplastics in the digestive tract of seabirds altered the microbiome of the gut increasing the presence of pathogens and antibiotic-resistant microbes, while decreasing the beneficial bacteria found in the intestines. ....
