Towards DNA metabarcoding‐based haplotype for monitoring terrestrial arthropod communities

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
The wocDNA metabarcoding includes robust sampling, wocDNA genomic extraction and library preparation. High‐throughput sequencing (HTS) followed by bioinformatic processing for quality control. The creation of a community matrix from haplotypes for ecological diversity and phylogenetic analyses.

The molecular mechanisms of defensive‐grade organic acid biosynthesis in ground beetles

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Formic acid and methacrylic acid are the primary defensive chemicals in the pygidial gland secretions of Platynus angustatus and Pterostichus moestus, respectively. Comparative transcriptomics suggests the folate cycle and valine catabolism may be involved in the biosynthesis of formic acid and methacrylic acid, respectively.

Identification of orb-web spider species and their food source through environmental DNA analysis

Journal of Ecology and Environment
Spiders play a vital role in agricultural ecosystems by capturing and preying on small insects, thereby controlling the pests around crops. However, without directly collecting the specimen, it is challenging to accurately determine the species of the ...

The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce

A Novel Crustavirus as a Candidate Aetiology of Tail Fan Necrosis in New Zealand Red Rock Lobsters, Jasus edwardsii

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tail fan necrosis (TFN) is a shell disease affecting spiny lobsters' outer integument, with significant implications for the health and commercial viability of red rock lobsters (Jasus edwardsii) in New Zealand. Despite its impact, the potential role of a microbial agent in TFN remains poorly understood.

Gene Flow Disruption and Population Declines in a Soil Arthropod in Fragmented Habitats

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intensification of land use over past millennia has accelerated habitat loss and fragmentation. This is hypothesized to lead to reductions in population sizes and restrictions in gene flow, processes that amplify genetic drift with profound negative impacts on species and populations.

THE ARTHROPODA OF AUSTRALIAN CAVES [PDF]

Australian Journal of Entomology, 1967
ABSTRACTThe Arthropoda of Australian Caves are reviewed and assigned to four ecological categories: trogloxenes, first and second level troglophiles, and troglobites. It is shown that Australia has few troglobitic species and this supports an earlier suggestion that extensive secondary extinction of cavernicoles occurred during the Pleistocene and ...

The enigmatic case of Lipoptena sp. in the Bosco della Mesola Nature Reserve (Italy)

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
This is the first report of Lipoptena andaluciensis in Italy, confirmed morphologically and genetically. The presence of L. andaluciensis in Italy dates back many years; it was found on cervids in lowland habitats. A re‐examination of the previous report of the Italian L. fortisetosa is needed.
