В статье приводятся сведения о вирусологическом и серологическом скрининге герпесвирусов в популяции каспийских тюленей. Показана устойчивая циркуляция тюленей первого типа (PhHV-1) среди Отмечено, что PhHV-1 является эндемичным для и, возможно, вызывает постоянную вирусную нагрузку на здоровье тюленей, которая усугубляется провоцирующими факторами. The article provides information on virologic...

We investigated dispersal patterns in the monogamous Crocidura russula, based both on direct field observations (mark-recapture data) and on genetic analyses (microsatellite loci). Natal dispersal was found to be low. Most juveniles settled within their natal territory or one immediately adjacent. Migration rate was estimated to two individuals per year and per population. The correlation betwe...

BACKGROUND In plants, 14-3-3 proteins are encoded by a large multigene family and are involved in signaling pathways to regulate plant development and protection from stress. Although twelve Populus 14-3-3s were identified based on the Populus trichocarpa genome V1.1 in a previous study, no systematic analysis including genome organization, gene structure, duplication relationship, evolutionary...
