Plastid phylogenomics of Pleurothallidinae (Orchidaceae): Conservative plastomes, new variable markers, and comparative analyses of plastid, nuclear, and mitochondrial data.
We present the first comparative plastome study of Pleurothallidinae with analyses of structural and molecular characteristics and identification of the ten most-variable regions to be incorporated in future phylogenetic studies. We sequenced complete plastomes of eight species in the subtribe and compared phylogenetic results of these to parallel analyses of... -

The Pathopharmacological Interplay between Vanadium and Iron in Parkinson’s Disease Models.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathology is characterised by distinct types of cellular defects, notably associated with oxidative damage and mitochondria dysfunction, leading to the selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in the brain’s substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Exposure to some environmental toxicants and heavy metals has been associated with PD pathogenesis....Ohiomokhare, Samuel ; Olaolorun, Francis ; Ladagu, Amany ; Olopade, Funmilayo ; Howes, Melanie-Jayne R. …

Hypersalinity drives physiological and morphological changes in Limia perugiae (Poeciliidae).
A fundamental question in biology is how an organism's morphology and physiology are shaped by its environment. Here, we evaluate the effects of a hypersaline environment on the morphology and physiology of a population of livebearing fish in the genus Limia (Poeciliidae). We sampled from two populations of Limia perugiae...Hypersalinity, Osmoregulation, Geometric morphometrics, Poeciliidae, Limia perugiae, and Mitochondria
