Biodiversity science in China has seen rapid growth over recent decades, ranging from
baseline biodiversity studies to understanding the processes behind evolution across …

Wild animals and plants have developed a variety of adaptive traits driven by adaptive
evolution, an important strategy for species survival and persistence. Uncovering the …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated using several different approaches. There is

The red panda (Ailurus fulgens), an endangered Himalaya-endemic mammal, has been
classified as two subspecies or even two species–the Himalayan red panda (A. fulgens) and …

Laboratory studies have demonstrated that a single phenotype can be produced by many
different genotypes; however, in natural systems, it is frequently found that phenotypic …

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a water-use efficient adaptation of photosynthesis
that has evolved independently many times in diverse lineages of flowering plants. We …

Several previous genomic studies have focused on adaptation to high elevations, but these
investigations have been largely limited to endotherms. Snakes of the genus Thermophis …
