Coincidence of low genetic diversity and increasing population size in wild gaur populations in the Khao Phaeng Ma Non-Hunting Area, Thailand: A challenge for conservation management under human-wildlife conflict.

Article Synopsis
- The gaur, an endangered species in Thailand, has seen a population increase from 35 to 300 individuals in the Khao Phaeng Ma Non-Hunting Area, but this growth has sparked conflicts with nearby villagers.
- Researchers analyzed mitochondrial DNA samples from GPS-collared gaurs, discovering three haplotypes that indicate low genetic diversity, suggesting limited maternal lineages within the population.
- Findings from genetic tests indicate that the gaur population may face future contraction, highlighting the need for informed management strategies to promote long-term sustainability.
The African catfish () may exhibit the co-existence of XX/XY and ZZ/ZW sex-determination systems (SDSs). However, the SDS of African catfish might be influenced by a polygenic sex-determination (PSD) system, comprising multiple independently segregating sex "switch" loci to determine sex within a species. Here, we aimed to detect the existence of PSD using hybrid.

We reported the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of bronze-winged jacana (, Latham 1790). The circular mitogenome was 17,208 base pairs (bp) in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a non-coding control region. A DNA spacer 109 bp long was also detected between and .

This may be useful for biotechnological purposes, for example, to produce all-male or all-female fish for commercial breeding. The North African catfish species, , has been widely adopted for aquaculture because its superior growth and disease resistance render the species suitable for hybridization with other catfish to improve the productivity and quality of fish meat.
