Pine-Oak Type: A unique resilient global system with high potential for nature-based solutions by Surendra Pratap Singh, Donald B. Zobel

“…Here, we discuss why “pine and oak type” is an important ecological entity of global significance with regard to (i) evolutionary time scale, and (ii) diversification of the genera, (iii) environmental responses of species, and (iv) co-occurrence of pine and oak despite their contrasting responses to drought and fire. …”

Quarter of a century of event-management evolution 2000-2024: the general and the special of existing approaches by V. A. Shelginskaya

“…The methodology includes comparative historical analysis of literature (stage 1), content analysis of data on domestic publication activity (stage 2), comparative analysis of based on foreign research data (stage 3). The first and second stages chronologically consider the development process of the event management and evolution of scientific research; identify time markers of emergence of new contexts and two key directions of the evolution (market and socio-cultural ones); substantiate the contribution of the semantic factor; establish the features of evolutionary transformations and key affected variables; demonstrate and comparatively characterise 6 approaches to management (corresponding to the evolutionary stages) and the seventh forecast direction. …”

Quantifying bacterial evolution in the wild: A birthday problem for Campylobacter lineages. by Jessica K Calland, Ben Pascoe, Sion C Bayliss, Evangelos Mourkas, Elvire Berthenet, Harry A Thorpe, Matthew D Hitchings, Edward J Feil, Jukka Corander, Martin J Blaser, Daniel Falush, Samuel K Sheppard

“…Identifying synonymous and non-synonymous nucleotide changes, both within and outside of recombined regions of the genome, we quantify clock-like diversification to estimate synonymous rates of nucleotide change for the common pathogenic bacteria Campylobacter coli (2.4 x 10-6 s/s/y) and Campylobacter jejuni (3.4 x 10-6 s/s/y). Finally, using estimated total rates of nucleotide change, we infer the number of effective lineages within the sample time frame-analogous to a shared birthday-and assess the rate of turnover of lineages in our sample set over short evolutionary timescales. …”

The genetic variation of mitochondrial sequences and pathological differences of Echinococcus multilocularis strains from different continents by Baoping Guo, Gang Guo, Wenjing Qi, Malike Aizezi, Chuanchuan Wu, Mengxiao Tian, Adriano Casulli, Wenbao Zhang, Jun Li

“…Phylogenetic analysis and parsimony network indicated that EM-AK resulted in 30,000 years of evolutionary distance from the other three strains. EM-AK induced more pathological damage than the other three strains, which was likely to induce more host cell infiltration and acute granuloma in the liver. …”
