A Possible Role of Crustacean Cardioactive Peptide in Regulating Immune Response in Hepatopancreas of Mud Crab

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP), a cyclic amidated non-apeptide, is widely found in arthropods. The functions of CCAP have been revealed to include regulation of heart rate, intestinal peristalsis, molting, and osmotic pressure.

Differential temporal beta‐diversity patterns of native and non‐native arthropod species in a fragmented native forest landscape [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
An important factor that hinders the management of non‐native species is a general lack of information regarding the biogeography of non‐natives, and, in particular, their rates of turnover.

Sequential Infection of Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes with Chikungunya Virus and Zika Virus Enhances Early Zika Virus Transmission

open access: yesInsects, 2018
In urban settings, chikungunya, Zika, and dengue viruses are transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Since these viruses co-circulate in several regions, coinfection in humans and vectors may occur, and human coinfections have been frequently reported ...

The utility of DNA metabarcoding for studying the response of arthropod diversity and composition to land-use change in the tropics

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
Metabarcoding potentially offers a rapid and cheap method of monitoring biodiversity, but real-world applications are few. We investigated its utility in studying patterns of litter arthropod diversity and composition in the tropics.

CLAE: A High‐Fidelity Nanopore Sequencing Strategy for Read‐Level Viral Variant Detection and Environmental RNA Virus Discovery

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
High‐fidelity Nanopore sequencing offers a cost‐effective, portable path to uncovering viral dark matter in complex environments—but suffers from severe read‐length bias, low throughput, and limited accuracy. This study traces these limitations to core biochemical barriers and introduces CLAE, a foundational high‐fidelity platform that enables accurate,
