Mechanisms of population differentiation in seabirds.
Despite recent advances in population genetic theory and empirical research, the extent of genetic differentiation among natural populations of animals remains difficult to predict. We reviewed studies of geographic variation in mitochondrial DNA in seabirds to test the importance of various factors in generating population genetic and phylogeographic structure. The extent of population genetic...
متن کاملPopulation Trend of the World’s Monitored Seabirds, 1950-2010
Seabird population changes are good indicators of long-term and large-scale change in marine ecosystems, and important because of their many impacts on marine ecosystems. We assessed the population trend of the world's monitored seabirds (1950-2010) by compiling a global database of seabird population size records and applying multivariate autoregressive state-space (MARSS) modeling to estimate...
متن کاملScreening for FecGH Mutation of Growth Differentiation Factor 9 Gene in Iranian Ghezel Sheep Population
Background Ghezel sheep are highly prolific and one of the local sheep breeds in Iran and Turkey. Growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF9) gene has been found to be essential for growth and differentiation of early ovarian follicles. Novel mutations in GDF9 have been associated with increased ovulation rates and high litter sizes in heterozygous carriers. Therefore, fecundity gene for GDF9 (FecGH...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms in erythroid differentiation.
The most striking molecular event during erythroid differentiation is the accumulation of haemoglobin but this is only one of many overt changes which occur in the maturing erythroid cell. Other proteins accumulate progressively, notably carbonic anhydrase and catalase while yet others, particularly the enzymes of haem synthesis, such as aminolaevulinic acid synthetase, accumulate during early ...
متن کاملChemical kin label in seabirds.
Chemical signals yield critical socio-ecological information in many animals, such as species, identity, social status or sex, but have been poorly investigated in birds. Recent results showed that chemical signals are used to recognize their nest and partner by some petrel seabirds whose olfactory anatomy is well developed and which possess a life-history propitious to olfactory-mediated behav...
