Individual differences in developmental trajectory leave a male polyphenic signature in bulb mite populations by Deere, Jacques A., Smallegange, Isabel M.

“…Instead, we suggest that juveniles mitigate their increased mortality risk by expediating ontogeny to forego the development of costly morphology and mature quicker but as a defenceless scrambler. If, like in mammals and birds where early-life stress effects are extensively studied, we account for such pre-adult viability selection in coldblooded species, it would allow us to (i) better characterise natural selection on trait development like male polyphenisms, (ii) understand how it can affect the response to other selections in adulthood, and (iii) understand how such trait dynamics influence, and are influenced by, population dynamics. …”

Hologenomic data generation and analysis in wild vertebrates by Carlotta Pietroni, Nanna Gaun, Aoife Leonard, Jonas Lauritsen, Garazi Martin‐Bideguren, Iñaki Odriozola, Ostaizka Aizpurua, Antton Alberdi, Raphael Eisenhofer

“…We also report that birds and bats both have substantially lower microbial DNA fractions and a higher degree of sample‐to‐sample variability compared to amphibians, reptiles and non‐flying mammals. Based on these data, we provide suggestions to the field for robustly and efficiently generating hologenomic data from wild vertebrates.…”

Porcine granulosa cell transcriptomic analyses reveal the differential regulation of lncRNAs and mRNAs in response to all-trans retinoic acid by Jinzhu Meng, Xiuwen Chen, Huabiao Wang, Yixuan Mi, Runsheng Zhou, Hongliang Zhang

“…Objective The active metabolite of vitamin A, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), is involved in the proliferation and differentiation of granulosa cells, and promotes the follicular development, oocyte maturation, and ovulation in mammals. This study aims to investigate the ATRA induced potential long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) that regulate the expression of genes associated with granulosa cell proliferation and follicular development. …”

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. …”
