Molecular Evolution of the Ovgp1 Gene in the Subfamily Murinae Open
OGP, encoded by the Ovgp1 gene, is the major non-serum oviductal protein in most mammals. In the genome of Rattus norvegicus, Ovgp1 has been identified as a pseudogene. However, Mus musculus presents a functional gene. As the rat and the m…

Convergent transcriptomic and genomic adaptation in xeric rodents Open
Repeated adaptations rely in part on convergent genetic changes. The extent of convergent changes at the genomic scale is debated and may depend on the interplay between different factors. Rodents have repeatedly adapted to life in arid co…

Population genetics and demography of the endemic mouse species of Cyprus, Mus cypriacus Open
Mus cypriacus is one of three small palaeoendemic mammals that have survived the Mediterranean islands’ anthropization. This species, endemic to Cyprus, was described in 2006 and stands out as one of the last mammal species to have been di…

Inner ear morphology in wild versus laboratory house mice Open
The semicircular canals of the inner ear are involved in balance and velocity control. Being crucial to ensure efficient mobility, their morphology exhibits an evolutionary conservatism attributed to stabilizing selection. Release of selec…

New Insights into the Mammalian Egg Zona Pellucida Open
Mammalian oocytes are surrounded by an extracellular coat called the zona pellucida (ZP), which, from an evolutionary point of view, is the most ancient of the coats that envelope vertebrate oocytes and conceptuses. This matrix separates t…

ZP4 Is Present in Murine Zona Pellucida and Is Not Responsible for the Specific Gamete Interaction Open
Mammalian eggs are surrounded by an extracellular matrix called the zona pellucida (ZP). This envelope participates in processes such as acrosome reaction induction, sperm binding, protection of the oviductal embryo, and may be involved in…

Reconciling the biogeography of an invader through recent and historic genetic patterns: the case of topmouth gudgeon Pseudorasbora parva Open
The genetic variability and population structure of introduced species in their native range are potentially important determinants of their invasion success, yet data on native populations are often poorly represented in relevant studies.…
