Although the golden jackal ( Canis aureus ) has been present in south-eastern Europe for over 500 years, its northern and western range expansion appears recent. Genetic analyses indicate that a contact zone between the previously identified Dalmatian and Pannonian populations has developed in south-western Slovenia and north-eastern Italy. To better understand the spatial extent of the contact zone, we analysed 27 new genetic...

Aging is a complex biological process characterized by molecular changes across multiple biological scales. While these alterations have been extensively studied in humans and rodents, the molecular changes associated with aging in dogs remain underexplored despite their relevance as a model for human aging. In this study, we profiled gene expression ( n = 16,273 genes) and protein abundance ( n = 2041 proteins) in whole blood...

The Arctic Ocean is an oligotrophic ecosystem facing escalating threats of oil spills as ship traffic increases owing to climate change‐induced sea ice retreat. Biostimulation is an oil spill mitigation strategy that involves introducing bioavailable nutrients to enhance crude oil biodegradation by endemic oil‐degrading microbes. For bioremediation to offer a viable response for future oil spill mitigation in extreme Arctic co...
