The increased demand for genealogical travel to places of family origin in recent years and its consequent economic and social repercussions have justified the aim of this research to obtain the sources of information used by genealogical tourists to prepare for their trip, and the influence that genealogical associations and groups operating on the Internet have on them. For this purpose, a survey was carried out among 223 genealogy enthusiasts who participate in or consult these groups and associations. Through a descriptive statistical analysis of the data obtained, using frequencies and percentages for qualitative variables and means with standard deviations for quantitative variables, this work confirms the outstanding influence that social networks and genealogical associations and groups have on general family history research information, and on specific questions of tourist interest that genealogists receive, and the lesser influence of travel agencies and traditional media. On the other hand, their results support the idea that the main reasons for these tourists to travel are to visit places where their ancestors lived and to research their family history in public archives. All these issues have implications for public cultural and tourism administrations and private sector companies in promoting the provision of historical documentary resources and materials on the internet, as well as the activity of genealogical associations and groups.

Caves are one of the most exciting environments on earth, often considered an evolutionary laboratory due to the suite of convergent adaptive traits (troglomorphisms) of organisms inhabiting them. Sinonychia martensi Zhang & Derkarabetian, 2021, is the first and only Travunioidea species recorded in China and is endemic to Beijing, being known from multiple caves. However, nothing is known regarding its phylogeographic or evolutionary history.

The application of traditional morphological and ecological species concepts to closely related, asexual fungal taxa is challenging due to the lack of distinctive morphological characters and frequent cosmopolitan and plurivorous behaviour. As a result, multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) has become a powerful and widely used tool to recognise and delimit independent evolutionary lineages (IEL) in fungi. However, MLSA can mask discordances in individual gene trees and lead to misinterpretation of speciation events.

Introduction: Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience, influenced by various factors. Paroxysmal extreme pain disorder (PEPD) is a rare genetic condition characterized by sudden bouts of pain accompanied by autonomic symptoms.
Material Methods And Aim: This manuscript presents the case of a 9-year-old boy with paroxysmal extreme pain syndrome and provides a review of the literature.

Study Question: Is there an increased risk of reproductive or colon cancer in women with Turner syndrome and their family members?
Summary Answer: Our data suggest that there is an increased risk for sigmoid colon cancer in women with Turner syndrome and an increased prostate cancer risk in second- and third-degree male relatives.
What Is Known Already: Turner syndrome has been associated with lower risk of breast cancer, but increased risk of gonadoblastoma and colon cancer in some, but not all studies. There is also evidence for a genetic predisposition to sex chromosome aneuploidy, which may indicate a predisposition to Turner syndrome and the associated cancer risk in family members.
Evolution of Population Structure, Reproductive Performance, Inbreeding, and Genetic Diversity in Ecuadorian Charolais Cattle.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed changes in population structure, reproductive performance, inbreeding, and genetic diversity in Charolais cattle using genealogical data from the Ecuadorian Charolais Association.
- It divided the data into five time periods, analyzing factors like pedigree completeness, generation interval, inbreeding levels, and effective population size with specific software.
- Results showed a decrease in pedigree completeness and generation interval over time, an increase in inbreeding, and a progressive loss of genetic diversity, but female reproductive efficiency improved, suggesting a need for genetic resource management to address inbreeding issues.
