SLOW DEFORMATION WAVES IN THE SEISMIC REGIME AND GEOPHYSICAL FIELDS AT THE NORTHERN MARGIN OF THE AMUR PLATE by S. V. Trofimenko, V. G. Bykov, N. N. Grib

“…In the Baikal and Amur regions (107–140°E), the fronts of deformation waves migrate at a rate of 5–20 km per year [Sherman, 2007, 2013]. Considering the order of magnitude, this rate is comparable to the rates of crust deformation migration from the Japan-Kuril-Kamchatka zone (10–100 km per year). …”

Performance and limitations of linkage-disequilibrium-based methods for inferring the genomic landscape of recombination and detecting hotspots: a simulation study by Raynaud, Marie, Gagnaire, Pierre-Alexandre, Galtier, Nicolas

“…False positive and false negative hotspots considerably confound fine-scale patterns of inferred recombination under a wide range of conditions, particularly when Ne is small and the mutation/recombination rate ratio is low, to the extent that maps inferred from populations sharing the same recombination landscape appear uncorrelated. …”

Macroevolutionary processes in turtles (Testudines): a view from biomic specialization and historical climatic changes by Juan S. Thomas, Sara Gamboa, Manuel Hernández Fernández, Manuel Hernández Fernández, Oscar Murillo, Jonathan S. Pelegrin

“…Vrba suggests that lineages display varying tendencies toward generalism or specialization in biome occupancy, with a tendency towards the accumulation of specialists due to their higher rate of speciation through vicariance. It also posits differences in biome occupancy patterns driven by the environmental characteristics of biomes, with a higher presence of biome specialist species in biomes that are placed in the extremes of the global climatic gradients. …”

Acoustical Enrichment during Early Development Improves Response Reliability in the Adult Auditory Cortex of the Rat by Zbyněk Bureš, Kateryna Pysanenko, Jiří Lindovský, Josef Syka

“…Here, we show that rearing rat pups in a complex acoustically enriched environment leads to an increased reliability of responses of AC neurons, affecting both the rate and the temporal codes. For a repetitive stimulus, the neurons exhibit a lower spike count variance, indicating a more stable rate coding. …”
