Pitardia resurrected: A new member of subtribe Menthinae (Lamiaceae)
TAXON, EarlyView.Abstract Despite tremendous progress towards clarifying phylogenetic relationships within the mint family (Lamiaceae), uncertainty remains regarding relationships among some major clades as well as the proper placement of some genera. While researching the genus Nepeta, a species from northeastern Morocco, N.

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja), one of the largest birds of prey in the world, is threatened with extinction throughout its entire area of occurrence in the Neotropics. While conservation efforts for the wild populations are crucial, it is also important to focus on ex situ conservation actions.

Insect Science, EarlyView.A multilocus sequence typing approach is proposed to explore Halymorpha halys genetic diversity, taking into consideration both insect nuclear markers and markers from the gut symbiont “Candidatus Pantoa carbekii.” Increased information was revealed regarding the number of distinct holobiont haplotypes in native and invasive populations of the pest ...

Characterization of two non-LTR retrotransposons from Sogatella furcifera and Nilaparvata lugens [PDF]
Arthropods, 2019 The fiWe have cloned two retrotransposons, one named SF-RT from Sogatella furcifera and another named NL-Rt from Nilaparvata lugens genome. Both SF-RT and NL-RT are members of the Daphne clade, and encode two open reading frames (ORFs) required for ...

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives
Insect Science, EarlyView.The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

Microbial diversity in Baltic Sea sediments [PDF]
, 2007 This thesis focuses on microbial community structures and their functions in Baltic Sea sediments. First we investigated the distribution of archaea and bacteria in Baltic Sea sediments along a eutrophication gradient.

CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated mutagenesis of the white‐eye gene in the tephritid pest Bactrocera zonata
Insect Science, EarlyView.Abstract Bactrocera zonata is a highly invasive agricultural pest that causes extensive damage to fruit crops. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), a species‐specific and environmentally friendly pest control method, significantly benefits from the availability of Genetic Sexing Strains (GSSs) that enable efficient mass production of males for sterile ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Little is known about the population divergence and gene flow of deep‐sea animals living in disjunct hydrothermal vents and cold seep habitats. Taking advantage of samples collected from multiple cruises across a huge distance of >5000 km, we revealed the differential population divergence pattern and gene flow in two congeneric species of shrimps ...

Molecular biology techniques as a tool for detection and characterisation of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis [PDF]
, 2002 Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (M. paratuberculosis) is the causative agent of paratuberculosis, also known as Johne’s disease, a chronic intestinal infection in cattle and other ruminants.
