This paper presents an optimized DNA extraction protocol for degraded cetacean bone samples, successfully amplifying mitochondrial DNA from 55.6% of samples for species identification.

This study compares transcriptional responses to hypoxia in aquifer and river-dwelling stoneflies, finding distinct regulatory strategies shaped by habitat specialization.

The study investigates whether Colpoda cucullus resting cysts can tolerate saline conditions, suggesting a mechanism for oceanic dispersal of freshwater protists.

This study compares the population genetic structure of two tick species in Japan, finding significant genetic variation in I. ovatus but not H. flava, supporting the hypothesis that host mobility affects tick genetic structure.

The paper examines gene expression changes in seven stonefly species across a latitudinal gradient, finding species-specific and shared adaptive responses to environmental conditions.

The paper identifies genome-wide SNPs associated with local adaptation in seven stonefly species across Japan's latitudinal gradient, highlighting environmental drivers like precipitation and altitude.

This study uses machine learning to detect adaptive divergence in Ephemera strigata populations, finding higher resolution in Random Forest compared to traditional methods and identifying altitudinal adaptation.
