Electrophysical and geoinformational methods of mapping the biological properties of peats by A. D. Pozdnyakova, L. A. Pozdnyakov

“…It is shown that the use of electrophysical methods and GIS technologies allows revealing soil coverage structure and spatial distribution of individual biological indicators, in particular, greenhouse gases production, in drained histosols (eutrophic peat soils) located in complex landscape and hydrological conditions of the Yakhroma Valley in the Moscow Region. …”

Patterns of Gene Family Evolution and Selection Across Daphnia by Connor S. Murray, Alan O. Bergland

“…While we show generalities in gene family turnover in genes related to stress response (i.e., DNA repair mechanisms), most gene family evolution is driven in a species‐specific manner. Additionally, while we show general trends toward positive selection within some expanding gene families, many genes are not under selection, highlighting the complexity of diversification and evolution within Daphnia. …”
