Genetic progress in grain yield and associated changes in spikelet and grain traits in historical set of Pannonian wheat cultivars
Changes in yield components and spike traits are associated with wheat grain yield genetic progress. The aim of this study was to determine variation...

Historical genetic diversity and population structure of wild red pandas (Ailurus fulgens) in Nepal
Red pandas ( Ailurus fulgens ) are taxonomically unique mammals in the order Carnivora that evolved to an arboreal and herbivorous existence in the...

Long-distance dispersal drives the genetic variation and historical demography of Quercus magnoliifolia and Quercus resinosa (Fagaceae) in the Mexican highlands
While hybridization and introgression can have a strong adaptive importance, it can impede divergence of species. Quercus magnoliifolia and Q. resinosa ...

Molecular phylogeny and historical biogeography of Iranian murids (Rodentia: Muridae)
The family Muridae represents the largest, most diverse and successful of all groups of mammals. Here we infer the phylogenetic relationships and...

Large-scale lexical and genetic alignment supports a hybrid model of Han Chinese demic and cultural diffusions
The Han Chinese history is shaped by substantial demographic activities and sociocultural transmissions. However, it remains challenging to assess...

Allelic variation in major genes and quantitative trait loci associated with grain number in historical spring wheat cultivars
Wheat grain yield is a complex polygenic trait influenced by variation in several components, particularly number of grains per unit area and grain...

eDNA metabarcoding warms up a hotspot of marine biodiversity: revealing underrepresented taxa in visual surveys and historical records from the Gulf of California
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is revolutionizing biodiversity monitoring, but comparisons against traditional data rarely include long-term...

Genetic diversity and fine-scale spatial genetic structure of unmanaged old-growth versus managed second-growth populations of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Lithuania
We tested the hypothesis that old-growth unmanaged (OGU) forests have higher genetic diversity than second-growth managed (SGM) forests and...

Low population genetic structure is consistent with high habitat connectivity in a commercially important fish species (Lutjanus jocu)
The level of habitat availability influences genetic divergence among populations and the genetic diversity within populations. In the marine...
