Diversity and evolution of the P450 family in arthropods [PDF]

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2020
The P450 family (CYP genes) of arthropods encodes diverse enzymes involved in the metabolism of foreign compounds and in essential endocrine or ecophysiological functions. The P450 sequences (CYPome) from 40 arthropod species were manually curated, including 31 complete CYPomes, and a maximum likelihood phylogeny of nearly 3000 sequences is presented ...

Diversity and complexity of arthropod references in haiku

PLOS ONE, 2023
Haiku are short poems, each composed of about 10 words, that typically describe moments in nature. People have written haiku since at least the 17th century, and the medium continues to be popular with poets, amateurs, educators, and students. Collectively, these poems represent an opportunity to understand which aspects of nature—e.g., which taxa and ...

Workflows for rapid functional annotation of diverse arthropod genomes [PDF]

Insects, 2021
Abstract Genome sequencing of a diverse array of arthropod genomes is already underway and these genomes will be used to study human health, agriculture, biodiversity and ecology. These new genomes are intended to serve as community resources and provide the foundational information that is required to apply ‘omics ...

Assessing climatic and intrinsic factors that drive arthropod diversity in bird nests

Gayana, 2020
Bird nests are specialized structures that act as microrefuge and a source of food for arthropods. Nest arthropod richness and composition may vary according to the nest builder, geographical location and nest size.

Forest Arthropod Diversity

, 2023
AbstractInsects are the most diverse group of organisms on Earth with 952,794 described species (Roskov et al. in Species 2000 & ITIS catalogue of life, 2021). They account for 85% of arthropod species, 67% of animal species and 47% of all species currently known on the planet (Roskov et al. in Species 2000 & ITIS catalogue of life, 2021).
