    Individual copy number variation and extensive diversity between major MHC-DAB1 allelic lineages in the European bitterling

    Polymorphism of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), DAB1 gene was characterized for the first time in the European bitterling (Rhodeus amarus), a freshwater fish employed in studies of host-parasite coevo...

    Rodents of the Afar Triangle (Ethiopia): geographical isolation causes high level of endemism

    The Afar Triangle in easternmost Africa is one of biogeographically important regions, whose recent biota is virtually unknown. Here we evaluated the level of evolutionary uniqueness of biodiversity of this re...

    Avian Toll-like receptor allelic diversity far exceeds human polymorphism: an insight from domestic chicken breeds

    Immune genes show remarkable levels of adaptive variation shaped by pathogen-mediated selection. Compared to humans, however, population polymorphism in animals has been understudied. To provide an insight int...

    Differentiation underground: Range-wide multilocus genetic structure of the silvery mole-rat does not support current taxonomy based on mitochondrial sequences

    The silvery mole-rat (Heliophobius argenteocinereus) is a solitary subterranean rodent with its distribution centred mainly in miombo woodlands of eastern Africa. This part of the continent was significantly infl...

    Spiny mice of the Zambezian bioregion - phylogeny, biogeography and ecological differentiation within the Acomys spinosissimus complex

    Despite the high degree of biological diversity in the Zambezian region, little information is available regarding the evolutionary history of its biota, and this is especially true for the fauna and flora of ...

    Parasites as biological tags of divergence in Central European gudgeon populations (Actinopterygii: Cyprinidae: Gobioninae)

    The parasite communities of three gudgeon species (Gobio gobio, Romanogobio belingi and R. vladykovi) were studied in two widely-separated rivers in the Czech Republic (Central Europe), the Bílina River (North Se...

    Characterisation of Toll-like receptors 4, 5 and 7 and their genetic variation in the grey partridge

    Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a cornerstone of vertebrate innate immunity. In this study, we identified orthologues of TLR4, TLR5 and TLR7 (representing both bacterial- and viral-sensing TLRs) in the grey partri...
