Chelonobacter oris 1662(T) is a type strain of the recently described species of the Pasteurellaceae family. The strain was isolated from the choanae of a captive tortoise with signs of respiratory tract infection. The genome reported here is approximately 2.6 Mb in size and has a G+C content of 47.1%.

We propose a hybrid genetic algorithm for the hexagonal tortoise problem. We combined the genetic algorithm with an efficient local heuristic and aging mechanism. Another search heuristic which focuses on the space around existing solutions is also incorporated into the genetic algorithm. With the proposed algorithm, we could find the optimal solutions of up to a fairly large problem.

Changes to animal movement in response to human-induced changes to the environment are of growing concern in conservation. Most research on this problem has focused on terrestrial endotherms, but changes to herpetofaunal movement are also of concern given their limited dispersal abilities and specialized thermophysiological requirements. Animals in the desert region of the southwestern United S...

Characterizing the effects of landscape features on genetic variation is essential for understanding how landscapes shape patterns of gene flow and spatial genetic structure of populations. Most landscape genetics studies have focused on patterns of gene flow at a regional scale. However, the genetic structure of populations at a local scale may be influenced by a unique suite of landscape vari...
