The construction of artificial reefs is the primary ecological project of marine ranching and one of the most important methods of creating habitats for marine organisms. To date, studies on artificial reefs have taken a macroscopic perspective, with few studies having investigated the fungal communities in artificial reefs in the North Yellow Sea. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the distribution patterns of...

Low oxygen and temperature pose key physiological challenges for endotherms living on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau ( QTP ). Molecular adaptations to high‐altitude living have been detected in the genomes of Tibetans, their domesticated animals and a few wild species, but the contribution of transcriptional variation to altitudinal adaptation remains to be determined. Here we studied a top QTP predator, the saker falcon, and ana...
