Article Abstract

. is described from high altitude habitats in Myanmar. The new species differs morphologically from its congeners by palp of maxilliped narrow; sexually dimorphic gnathopod Ⅱ, propodus of male chelate and propodus of female mitten-shaped; and dimorphic uropod Ⅱ, outer ramus of male with small teeth distally, outer ramus of female with three distal spines. Analysis of DNA barcode sequences and niche distinctiveness support recognition of the new species.

Background: India's indigenous sheep breeds have evolved under extreme and diverse agro-ecological pressures, yet the genomic basis of their resilience and local adaptation remains poorly understood.

Method: This study combines genomic inbreeding estimates, runs of homozygosity (ROH), population structure analyses, and composite selection scans to investigate three native Indian breeds-Changthangi, Deccani, and Garole-within a panel of nine breeds that also includes populations from Africa (Ethiopian Menz), East and South Asia (Tibetan, Chinese Merino, Bangladesh Garole, Bangladesh East), and Europe (Suffolk).

Results: ROH and heterozygosity estimates revealed strong contrasts: Bangladesh East sheep exhibited high genomic inbreeding (F≈14.

Background And Objectives: High-altitude hypoxia is known to impair cardiac microvascular function, a pathophysiological state recognized as coronary microvascular disease (CMVD). This study aimed to investigate the independent association between serum potassium levels and the risk of developing CMVD, after controlling for traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and smoking.

Methods: This case-control study enrolled 1,175 trainees with long-term exposure to high altitude (≥3,000 m), comprising 235 patients with CMVD (cases) and 940 healthy controls.

Unlabelled: Poultry farming in high altitude like Leh-Ladakh, India is a challenge due to hypobaric-hypoxia environment and probiotic may support gut health, feed efficiency, production and adaptation in chicken. Therefore, the present study was performed to elucidate the role of probiotic on broiler chicken gut microflora from two different high altitude locations; Leh and Chang La. No change was found on the growth of the broiler with probiotic intervention.

Lots of agricultural or environmental studies, researches, policy evaluations are based on Land Parcel Information System (LPIS), combined with other pedo-climatic or agro-environmental data. This is the case for example for different kinds of models, as crop models which have been used widely in France to assess ecosystemic services or carbon storage, agent-based models for watershed analyses or for models assessing erosion risks. However, integration of pedo-climatic and agro-environmental data at a high-resolution level remains challenging.
