Georeferencing and aligning sequence data We obtained mitochondrial sequence data for terrestrial mammals from GeneBank and BOLD. GenBank data were downloaded on 16 May 2017 using the Entrez Utilities Unix Command Line. Data from BOLD were downloaded on 25 May 2017 directly from BOLD webpage using the application-platform interface (API) (http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/resources/api). Our mammalian database consisted […] More

Application of three previously reported, popular CHD1-targeting primer sets for molecular sexing of the Japanese murrelet, and preparation of a new Japanese murrelet species-specific primer set The three frequently used CHD1-targeting primer sets were applied for molecular sexing in the Japanese murrelet. Two of these three primer sets, 2250 F/2718 R and CDH1F/CDH1R, produced electrophoretic patterns similar […] More

The microcosm experiments were conducted with 2000 m deep water samples from the western Pacific Ocean, a typical oligotrophic gyre (Fig. 1 and Supplementary Fig. 1). The in situ prokaryotic and viral abundances decreased from 0.70 and 6.17 × 106 particles mL−1 in surface waters to 0.49 and 1.70 × 106 particles mL−1 at 2000 m. With a series […] More

Urban areas are often found to have high levels of biodiversity, but little is known on how fine-scale land use is structuring species diversity in cities. We used species occurrence records from GBIF and official land cover classifications to determine how habitat affects total species richness, and the number of threatened and alien species. We […] More
