Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Although anthocyanins are widely distributed in higher plants, betalains have replaced anthocyanins in most species of the order Caryophyllales. The accumulation of flavonols in Caryophyllales plants implies that the late step of anthocyanin biosynthesis from dihydroflavonols to anthocyanins may be blocked in Caryophyllales. The isolation and characterization of functional dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) and anthocyanidin sy...
Relationships of genetic diversity at microsatellite loci and quantitative traits were examined in hatchery‐produced populations of Japanese flounder using a relatively straightforward experiment. Five hatchery populations produced by wild‐caught and domesticated broodstocks were used to examine the effects of different levels (one to three generations) of domestication on the genetic characteristics of hatchery populations. A...
