New findings of Neurospora in Europe and comparisons of diversity in temperate climates on continental scales

The species distribution and spatial dynamics of Neurospora populations showed both similarities and differences when compared between temperate Europe and western North America, both regions of similar latitude, climate and vegetation.

Phylogenetic origin of the endemic pigeons from Madeira (Columba trocaz) and Azores Islands (Columba palumbus azorica)

The phylogeny of pigeon (genus Columba) phylogeny within the archipelagos of Madeira and Azores is addressed, which suggests a relatively recent colonisation event of the Azores Islands.

Pair-bonding behaviour of the sister species Microtus lusitanicus and M. duodecimcostatus

Results support a social monogamous mating system for both species and reveal a significant female preference for the male partner, rather than a stranger, in Microtus lusitanicus and M. duodecimcostatus.

Anonymous nuclear loci in the white-faced storm-petrel Pelagodroma marina and their applicability to other Procellariiform seabirds.

High levels of cross-species amplification success are found, varying between 79% and 86% in representatives of Diomedeidae, Procellariidae, Pelecanoididae, and other Hydrobatidae and will be a valuable tool in future population genetics and phylogenetic studies, particularly of nonmodel seabird species.

Variation and Selection in the Putative Sperm-Binding Region of ZP3 in Muroid Rodents: A Comparison between Cricetids and Murines

A general lack of species specificity of the putative sperm-binding region (pSBR) of mouse ZP3 is suggested across Cricetidae and Murinae, two hyperdiverse taxonomic groups within muroid rodents.

Olfactory receptors and behavioural isolation: a study on Microtus voles

For several Microtus species, including M. lusitanicus and M. duodecimcostatus, these proteins probably recognise conserved odour cues not related to behavioural isolation, suggesting that olfaction has undergone diversifying selection in diverging populations and may contribute to premating reproductive isolation.

Serological survey on Neospora spp. and Besnoitia spp. in wild rabbits in Portugal

Pair-bonding behaviour of the sister species Microtus lusitanicus and M. duodecimcostatus

Results suggest rare male extra-pair mating in M. lusitanicus and M. duodecimcostatus and support a social monogamous mating system for both species and reveal a significant female preference for the male partner, rather than a stranger.
