Four coding-complete genomes of bovine viral diarrhea virus-2a ( Orthopestivirus tauri genotype a) isolated from farmed white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ) in Florida, USA, in 2018

To date, no bovine viral diarrhea virus-2 (BVDV-2) coding-complete genomes are available from white-tailed deer (WTD) in Florida. We determined the coding-complete genome sequences of four BVDV-2 isolates from farmed WTD that were found dead in 2018. These belonged to BVDV-2 sub-...

Mitogenomic and phylogenomic analyses identify a cohesive Western Atlantic lineage within the Narcine complex (Torpediniformes: Narcinidae)

Accurate species delimitation within electric rays of the genus Narcine has been hindered by overlapping morphological characters and limited molecular resolution in previous single-locus studies. This study aims to evaluate phylogenetic relationships and species boundaries withi...

Activity shapes large herbivores’ ecological influences

The ecological effects of large herbivores are shaped by their spatial and temporal patterns of activity (i.e. where, when and how intensely they use specific locations). When large herbivores' ecological influences are perceived to be undesirable, the traditional approach has be...
