Article Synopsis
  • Molecular methods are commonly used for estimating effective population sizes but face challenges due to model assumption violations; simulations and empirical data can help improve these methodologies.* -
  • The study analyzed long-term genetic and ecological data of grey wolves in Germany, alongside detailed genetic studies in Poland, Spain, and Portugal, to enhance estimation strategies for these populations.* -
  • It was found that the number of wolf packs serves as a reliable indicator of effective population size, and notably, half of the European wolf populations do not meet the effective population size criterion of 500.*

Background: Rare diseases constitute a heterogeneous group of approximately 7000-8000 conditions, distinguished by their low prevalence. Collectively, they present a significant global health challenge, affecting millions of people worldwide. It is estimated that rare diseases affect approximately 10% of the global population, which places a significant burden on individuals, families, and society.

Biomass burning is a significant source of particulate matter (PM) in ambient air and its accurate source apportionment is a major concern for air quality. The discrimination between residential wood heating (RWH) and garden green waste burning (GWB) particulate matter (PM) is rarely achieved. The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential of non-targeted screening (NTS) analyses using HRMS (high resolution mass spectrometry) data to reveal discriminating potential molecular markers of both sources.

This study aimed to assess the impact of prepartum maternal diphenyl diselenide (PhSe) supplementation on the development, biochemical, immune, and antioxidant parameters of calves. Eighteen Holstein breed calves were used, born to females who were or were not subjected to supplementation, at 42, 28, and 14 days prior to calving. The (PhSe) group (DDG) was administered 3 μmol/kg of (PhSe) in 4 mL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), while the DMSO and NaCl groups were administered 4 mL of DMSO and 0.
