Exploring Mitochondrial Evolutionary Pathways: Insights into the Origin of the Endemic Ohrid Trout by Anila Hoda, Chiara Locci, Ilenia Azzena, Noemi Pascale, Ilaria Deplano, Roland Kristo, Arian Demiri, Fabio Scarpa, Marco Casu, Daria Sanna

“…Additionally, our findings suggest that the modern <i>Salmo letnica</i> population likely originated in Lake Ohrid from <i>Salmo farioides</i> founders through evolutionary differentiation, potentially driven by environmental changes. Future studies incorporating a larger number of samples from both <i>Salmo letnica</i> and <i>Salmo farioides</i> are essential to fully understand the evolutionary and ecological dynamics of <i>Salmo letnica</i> morphotypes.…”

Particle-size fractions-dependent extracellular enzyme activity in sediments and implications for resource allocation in a subtropical mangrove ecosystem by L. Luo, J.-D. Gu

“…Besides, the analysis between elemental contents and enzymes activities in particle-size fractions suggested that enzymes could monitor the changes of nutrients availability and be good indicators of ecosystem responses to environmental changes. Thus, these results provided a means to assess the availability of different nutrients (C, N, and P) during decomposition of sediment organic matter (SOM), and thus helping to better manage the subtropical mangrove ecosystems to sequester C into SOM.…”

Insights into <i>Solea senegalensis</i> Reproduction Through Gonadal Tissue Methylation Analysis and Transcriptomic Integration by Daniel Ramírez, Marco Anaya-Romero, María Esther Rodríguez, Alberto Arias-Pérez, Robert Mukiibi, Helena D’Cotta, Diego Robledo, Laureana Rebordinos

“…Fish exhibit diverse mechanisms of sex differentiation and determination, shaped by both external and internal influences, often regulated by distinct DNA methylation patterns responding to environmental changes. In <i>S. senegalensis</i> aquaculture, reproductive issues in captivity pose significant challenges, particularly the lack of fertilization capabilities in captive-bred males, hindering genetic improvement measures. …”

Multispecies occupancy models unravel reduced colonization probabilities in plants from the unique Amazonian cangas by Rafael de Fraga, Luiz Gustavo Rodrigues Oliveira Santos, Valeria da Cunha Tavares, Leonardo Carreira Trevelin, Maurício Takashi Coutinho Watanabe, Leandro Maioli, Samir Rolim, Carolina da Silva Carvalho

“…Our results indicate that for some wide-ranging species, negative metapopulation equilibrium was restricted to mining plots, indicating sensitivity of these species to environmental changes caused by mining. For some endemic species, apparent population declines are more likely to be occurring due to natural causes than to the negative effects of mining.…”
