This is EPIC: Extensive Periphery for Impact and Control to study seabird habitat loss in and around offshore wind farms combining a peripheral control area and Bayesian statistics by Anne Grundlehner, Mardik F. Leopold, Anna Kersten

“…With the rapidly increasing intensity of human activities in the marine realm, it has become urgent to better understand the impacts of human-induced disturbances on marine species. Marine mammals and birds are often observed to alter their fine-scale spatial distribution patterns in the presence of human at-sea activities, such as ship traffic and offshore wind farms (OWFs). …”

Sexual dimorphism in the sheep corpus callosum using 3 tesla MRI by Sedat Aydoğdu, Emrullah Eken, Mustafa Koplay

“…However, it was observed that the ratio between surface area and volume was very close to the difference frequently encountered in this parameter in studies conducted in humans and other mammals.<p> <b>Conclusion:</b> It is thought that the findings obtained from healthy sheep brains in this study can be used in neurodegenerative disease models created in sheep in neuroscience studies and experimental studies.…”

Using unmanned aerial vehicles to estimate body volume at scale for ecological monitoring by Thomas C. Stone, Katrina J. Davis

“…Existing demographic data are either lacking or insufficient for many species, particularly those that are challenging to obtain direct measurements from that can be used to estimate demographic rates, like marine mammals. A method for collecting accurate demographic data to construct robust demographic models at scale would fill this knowledge gap for difficult‐to‐access species. …”

Copy Number Variations in Short Tandem Repeats Modulate Growth Traits in Penaeid Shrimp Through Neighboring Gene Regulation by Hao Zhou, Guangfeng Qiang, Yan Xia, Jian Tan, Qiang Fu, Kun Luo, Xianhong Meng, Baolong Chen, Meijia Chen, Juan Sui, Ping Dai, Xupeng Li, Mianyu Liu, Qun Xing, Jie Kong, Sheng Luan

“…In this study, we systematically identified and compared STRs across multiple species, confirming a significantly higher prevalence of STRs (26–32%) in penaeid shrimp, which is markedly higher than that observed in other species, such as mammals (1.3–2.1%) and plants (0.21–0.73%). Further analysis utilizing a cohort of 326 Pacific white shrimp revealed a total of 672,507 high-quality STRs evenly distributed across the genome, with a notably lower frequency of SNPs within these STR regions. …”

SETD2 loss-of-function uniquely sensitizes cells to epigenetic targeting of NSD1-directed H3K36 methylation by Ryan T. Wagner, Ryan A. Hlady, Xiaoyu Pan, Liguo Wang, Sungho Kim, Xia Zhao, Louis Y. El Khoury, Shafiq Shaikh, Jian Zhong, Jeong-Heon Lee, Jolanta Grembecka, Tomasz Cierpicki, Thai H. Ho, Keith D. Robertson

“…Abstract Background SETD2 is the sole epigenetic factor responsible for catalyzing histone 3, lysine 36, tri-methylation (H3K36me3) in mammals. Its role in regulating cellular processes such as RNA splicing, DNA repair, and spurious transcription initiation underlies its broader tumor suppressor function. …”

“…Along with animal husbandry, hunting still had a significant place. Some wild mammals (such as wild boar, Еuropean hare, red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, aurochs, and European bison) were hunted for food, while others (such as red fox, wild cat, grey wolf, brown bear, and beaver) were hunted for their fur. …”
