Analysis of bioactive compounds of hen egg components at the first half of incubation.

Faculty of Medicine and Biology, North-Caucasus Federal University, Stavropol, Russia.
A comparative analysis of mass-volume characteristics of structural and morphological components of hen eggs before incubation and on the fifth (HH25-HH27) and 10th (HH36) days of incubation was carried out. During incubation, egg weight decreased by 9.25% (10 days), mainly due to a decrease in albumen weight (35.

Article Synopsis
- Land use intensification is putting pressure on protected areas, especially nonforested rangelands, which comprise about 40% of these areas and face issues like overgrazing and land conversion.
- A study in the southern Caucasus assessed the effectiveness of 52 protected areas in mitigating land-use pressures and found that, overall, these areas failed to prevent green vegetation loss, with losses being greater inside protected zones in most countries.
- The study revealed that livestock overgrazing is a major driver of the ineffectiveness, particularly in multiple-use protected areas, and emphasizes the need for better integration of conservation efforts that consider nonforest ecosystems.
Unveiling the Genome-Wide Consequences of Range Expansion and Mating System Transitions in Primula vulgaris.
Genome Biol Evol
October 2024
Department of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Genetic diversity is heterogeneously distributed among populations of the same species, due to the joint effects of multiple demographic processes, including range contractions and expansions, and mating systems shifts. Here, we ask how both processes shape genomic diversity in space and time in the classical Primula vulgaris model. This perennial herb originated in the Caucasus region and was hypothesized to have expanded westward following glacial retreat in the Quaternary.
