It has long been understood that a parent鈥檚 DNA is the principal determinant of health and disease in offspring. Yet inheritance via DNA is only part of the story; a father鈥檚 lifestyle such as diet, being overweight and stress levels have been linked to health consequences for his offspring. This occurs through the epigenome - heritable biochemical marks associated with the DNA and proteins that bind it. But how the information is transmitted at fertilization along with the exact mechanisms and molecules in sperm that are involved in this process has been unclear until now.

Abstract:

To stop biodiversity loss, Canada recently committed to protecting 30% of its land and sea by 2030. But making conservation decisions about where to locate new protected areas is complicated. It depends on data both about biodiversity and about a range of benefits (e.g. freshwater, climate regulation, recreation) that people get from nature. Surprisingly, despite the size of the country, new mapping suggests that less than 1% of Canada鈥檚 land (0.6% of total area or approximately 56,000 km2) is a hotspot, providing all these benefits in one place.
