Metagenomics Shines Light on the Evolution of ‘Sunscreen’ Pigment Metabolism in the Teloschistales (Lichen-Forming Ascomycota).
Fungi produce a vast number of secondary metabolites that shape their interactions with other organisms and the environment. Characterising the genes underpinning metabolite synthesis is therefore key to understanding fungal evolution and adaptation. Lichenised fungi represent almost one-third of Ascomycota diversity and boast impressive secondary metabolites repertoires. However, most lichen... -

First evidence of a monodominant (Englerodendron, Amherstieae, Detarioideae, Leguminosae) .tropical moist forest from the early Miocene (21.73 Ma) of Ethiopia
Many tropical wet forests are species-rich and have relatively even species frequency distributions. But, dominance by a single canopy species can also occur in tropical wet climates and can remain stable for centuries. These are uncommon globally, with the African wet tropics supporting more such communities than the Neotropics or... -

Diversity patterns and conservation of the Vigna spp. in Mozambique: A comprehensive study.
Mozambique supports a high diversity of native legume species, including many Crop Wild Relatives (CWRs). Among them, the still understudied genus is a particularly notable and promising donor of favorable traits for crop improvement. This study aims to provide an updated overview of CWRs diversity in Mozambique, defining a conservation... -

Landscape dynamics and diversification of the megadiverse South American freshwater fish fauna.
Landscape dynamics are widely thought to govern the tempo and mode of continental radiations, yet the effects of river network rearrangements on dispersal and lineage diversification remain poorly understood. We integrated an unprecedented occurrence dataset of 4,967 species with a newly compiled, time-calibrated phylogeny of South American freshwater fishes—the most... -

Diversification of Amazonian spiny tree rats in genus Makalata (Rodentia, Echimyidae): Cryptic diversity, geographic structure and drivers of speciation.
Amazonian mammal diversity is exceptionally high, yet new taxonomic discoveries continue to be made and many questions remain for understanding its diversification through time and space. Here we investigate the diversification of spiny rats in the genus , whose species are strongly associated with seasonally flooded forests, watercourses and flooded... -

The role of the tryptophan-NAD + pathway in a mouse model of severe malnutrition induced liver dysfunction.
Mortality in children with severe malnutrition is strongly related to signs of metabolic dysfunction, such as hypoglycemia. Lower circulating tryptophan levels in children with severe malnutrition suggest a possible disturbance in the tryptophan-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (TRP-NAD+) pathway and subsequently in NAD+ dependent metabolism regulator sirtuin1 (SIRT1). Here we show that...Hu, Guanlan ; Ling, Catriona ; Chi, Lijun ; Thind, Mehakpreet K. ; Furse, Samuel …
