Incidental Ingestion of Plant‐Dwelling Arthropods by Sheep and Cattle in the Same Habitat
In this study, a DNA metabarcoding analysis of fecal samples reveals the frequent incidental ingestion of plant‐dwelling arthropods by sheep and cattle foraging in the same habitat. Sheep and cattle ingest different varieties of arthropods. The incidental ingestion of arthropods by these large herbivores reflects their distinct dietary preferences ...

An invasive orb-weaving spider from east Asia is now spreading through the southeastern United States; Trichonephila clavata (the “jorō spider”) makes large, imposing webs seemingly everywhere, including in urban landscapes, and even next to busy roads ...

Ianeirina Linnavuori, 1978 status nov. Fig. 51 Type genus: Ianeira Linnavuori, 1969. Diagnosis Ianeirina are medium sized to large, ivory to brown leafhoppers. They can be identified by their somewhat long and slender habitus, anterior margin of the head usually with numerous carinae (shagreen and rounded to face in Ianeira), ocelli on the face below ...

Abstract Despite recent advances in high‐throughput DNA sequencing technologies, a lack of locally relevant DNA reference databases limits the potential for DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity for conservation and biosecurity applications. Museums and national collections represent a compelling source of authoritatively identified genetic material for

Current stewardship practices in invasion biology limit the value and secondary use of genomic data
Abstract Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal travel make incursions a more frequent risk, one only compounded by global climate change.

Herein, we redescribe Neostenotarsus guianensis (Caporiacco, 1954) nearly seven decades after its original description. In the original description of Neostenotarsus scissistylus Tesmoingt & Schmidt, 2002, we found characters incongruent with N ...

We investigated the molecular basis of host switching by the phytophagous West Indian fruit fly (A. obliqua). Third‐instar larvae showed differential gene expression according to host plants: red mombin, mango, and carambola. The main gene categories differentially expressed were digestion, detoxification, and gene regulators.

Coastal wetlands, vital for ecological diversity, have been significantly altered by anthropogenic activities, particularly in the Caribbean. These changes have created a complex mosaic of habitats and physicochemical conditions, further stressed by ...
