Whole-genome sequencing confirms multiple species of Galapagos giant tortoises

This paper uses whole-genome sequencing and coalescent methods to show that Galapagos giant tortoises form a species complex with at least 9 species, challenging previous single-species classifications.

Does ivermectin treatment for endemic hookworm infection alter the gut microbiota of endangered Australian sea lion pups?

This study investigates whether topical ivermectin treatment for hookworm infection in Australian sea lion pups affects their gut microbiota, finding no significant compositional changes.

Carriage of antibiotic resistant bacteria in endangered and declining Australian pinniped pups

This study detects class 1 integrons in pinniped pups, indicating antimicrobial resistance in marine environments.

Kif9 is an active kinesin motor required for ciliary beating and proximodistal patterning of motile axonemes

This study shows Kif9 is essential for ciliary beating and proper localization of axonemal structures in Xenopus, with both indirect and direct roles in motility.
