When Grinnellian generalist species seem to be more sensitive to altered habitats than specialists: the case of Orthoptera communities settled in coastal dunes Open
Numerous examples documented that species generalists for habitats are less sensitive to altered environment than specialists. However, in arid environments, an example indicated an opposite trend due to special adaptive features of organi…

Shedding Light on the Origin of Egyptian Sheep Breeds by Evolutionary Comparison of Mitochondrial D-Loop Open
(1) Background: It has been recognized that the origin of fat-tailed sheep occurred within coarse wool breeds and that this character was introgressed several times into thin-tailed populations. However, no study has investigated this idea…

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Moroccan Beni Ahsen: Is This Endangered Ovine Breed One of the Ancestors of Merino? Open
(1) Background. Merino is a worldwide sheep breed well known for the quality and quantity of its wool. If there is no doubt that it originates from the Mediterranean Basin and that human selection took place in southern Spain, the populati…

The submerged genitive in Old Prussian Open
This paper is devoted to the Old Prussian phrase ʃwaiāʃmu ʃupʃei buttan ‘to his own house’ (Enchiridion, III 876). Far from being simply the result of a syntactic error, the genitive ʃupʃei ‘of oneself’ can be recognized as the reflex of a…

A phylogenetic view and functional annotation of the animal β1,3-glycosyltransferases of the GT31 CAZy family Open
The formation of β1,3-linkages on animal glycoconjugates is catalyzed by a subset of β1,3-glycosyltransferases grouped in the Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes family glycosyltransferase-31 (GT31). This family represents an extremely diverse set…

The origin of sheep settlement in Western Mediterranean Open
The arrival of Neolithic culture in North Africa, especially domestic animals has been essentially documented from archaeological records. As the data relative to sheep are scarce, we studied the genetic relationship between Moroccan sheep…

Vertebrate Alpha2,8-Sialyltransferases (ST8Sia): A Teleost Perspective Open
We identified and analyzed α2,8-sialyltransferases sequences among 71 ray-finned fish species to provide the first comprehensive view of the Teleost ST8Sia repertoire. This repertoire expanded over the course of Vertebrate evolution and wa…

Is ant fauna a good bio-indicator of coastal dune ecosystems in North-East of Algeria? Open
Ants are good bioindicators of habitats and of their quality in many ecosystems. However, their interest in the case of coastal dunes remains to be determined because the environments are instable or subject to strong constraints. The degr…

Novel Zebrafish Mono-α2,8-sialyltransferase (ST8Sia VIII): An Evolutionary Perspective of α2,8-Sialylation Open
The mammalian mono-α2,8-sialyltransferase ST8Sia VI has been shown to catalyze the transfer of a unique sialic acid residues onto core 1 O-glycans leading to the formation of di-sialylated O-glycosylproteins and to a lesser extent to diSia…
