Characterization of the C5H11ORF96 gene in chickens: cloning, tissue distribution and investigation of its potential function in stress response regulation by Yiping Wan, Jiannan Zhang, Xiao Zhang, Jiliang He, Ningkun Shi, Yuanyou Li, Juan Li, Yajun Wang

“…Our results showed that: (1) cC5H11ORF96 cDNA encodes a 120 amino acids protein, which shares high sequence identity with that of birds, mammals, reptiles, frogs and fish; (2) cC5H11ORF96 has a fully conserved RFKTQP motif and high proportion of serine, indicating its multiple potential phosphorylation sites; (3) cC5H11ORF96 is widely expressed in various chicken tissues, with high expression levels in the parathyroid gland, adrenal gland, and pituitary; (4) glucocorticoids (GCs) and stress significantly upregulate C5H11ORF96 mRNA and protein expression in the chicken pituitary and hypothalamus, suggesting its involvement in regulating stress response by influencing the negative feedback of GCs on the HPA axis in chickens. …”

Toward Sustainable Biocultural Ecotourism: An Integrated Spatial Analysis of Cultural and Biodiversity Richness in Colombia by Alejandra Echeverri, Natasha M. Batista, Stacie Wolny, Guido A. Herrera‐R, Federico Andrade‐Rivas, Allison Bailey, Anaid Cardenas‐Navarrete, Armando Dávila Arenas, Andres Felipe Díaz‐Salazar, Katherine Victoria Hernandez, Kelley E. Langhans, Bryam E. Mateus‐Aguilar, Dallas Levey, Andrew Neill, Oliver Nguyen, Andres Felipe Suárez‐Castro, Felipe Zapata, Natalia Ocampo‐Peñuela

“…Using Colombia as a case study, we created metrics of taxonomic biological diversity as measured by vertebrate species richness (including birds, mammals, freshwater fishes, reptiles and amphibians) and institutionalized cultural richness (by counting the number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage sites, museums, endemic music festivals, Afro‐Colombian Territories and Indigenous Reserves) and evaluated the spatial correlations between them. …”

Synapsis and recombination of autosomes and sex chromosomes in two terns (Sternidae, Charadriiformes, Aves) by A. P. Lisachov, L. P. Malinovskaya, A. V. Druzyaka, P. M. Borodin, A. A. Torgasheva

“…Therefore it is important to study recombination rate and distribution in more karyologically stable taxa, such as reptiles and birds. We used immunolocalization of SYCP3, the protein of the lateral element of the synaptonemal complex (SC), centromere proteins and the mismatch-repair protein MLH1, which is associated with the recombination nodules, at the synaptonemal complex spreads of prophase oocytes of two tern species, black tern (Chlidonias niger) and common tern (Sterna hirundo). …”
