Article Synopsis
- This study examines how bank voles adapt to different climates across Europe by analyzing genetic data and geographic climate variations.
- Researchers identified 213 candidate loci for adaptation, with 74 linked to specific genes, particularly those involved in lipid metabolism and the immune system.
- The findings highlight that both population history and climate significantly impact the genetic variation in these voles, indicating annual mean temperature as a key factor in their adaptive evolution.
The bioaccessibility of the major carotenoids present in two commercial microalgal supplements in powder form was investigated through a standardized in vitro digestion method. The dried biomass of contained β-carotene (36.8 mg/100 g) and zeaxanthin (20.

Bat flies are haematophagous ectoparasites, highly specialised to bats and are also considered to have vectorial potential for several pathogens like spp. or spp. In Romania, past studies mostly focused on the ectoparasitic fauna of cave-dwelling bats, listing the occurrence of 10 bat fly species in the country, with only scarce information on bat flies infesting crevice-roosting bat species.
