Minimalist revision and description of 403 new species in 11 subfamilies of Costa Rican braconid parasitoid wasps, including host records for 219 species [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2021
Three new genera are described: Michener (Proteropinae), Bioalfa (Rogadinae), and Hermosomastax (Rogadinae). Keys are given for the New World genera of the following braconid subfamilies: Agathidinae, Braconinae, Cheloninae, Homolobinae, Hormiinae ...

Genomics and the making of yeast biodiversity [PDF]

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2015
Yeasts are unicellular fungi that do not form fruiting bodies. Although the yeast lifestyle has evolved multiple times, most known species belong to the subphylum Saccharomycotina (syn. Hemiascomycota, hereafter yeasts). This diverse group includes the premier eukaryotic model system, Saccharomyces cerevisiae; the common human commensal and ...

Progress and prospects of parasitic plant biodiversity genomics. [PDF]

Plant Cell Physiol
Abstract Parasitic plants have evolved independently at least a dozen times across angiosperms, yielding some of the most extreme examples of genomic reconfiguration in plants. Comparative analyses of plastid, mitochondrial, and nuclear genomes reveal striking convergence across lineages such as progressive plastid genome reduction ...

Conservation of biodiversity in the genomics era [PDF]

Genome Biology, 2018
"Conservation genomics" encompasses the idea that genome-scale data will improve the capacity of resource managers to protect species. Although genetic approaches have long been used in conservation research, it has only recently become tractable to generate genome-wide data at a scale that is useful for conservation.

Measuring mass: variation among 3,161 species of Canadian Coleoptera and the prospects of a mass registry for all insects [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Although biomass values are critical for diverse ecological and evolutionary analyses, they are unavailable for most insect species. Museum specimens have the potential to address this gap, but the variation introduced by sampling and preservation ...

Solanaceae — a model for linking genomics with biodiversity [PDF]

Comparative and Functional Genomics, 2004
AbstractRecent progress in understanding the phylogeny of the economically important plant family Solanaceae makes this an ideal time to develop models for linking the new data on plant genomics with the huge diversity of naturally occurring species in the family.

Validation of COI metabarcoding primers for terrestrial arthropods [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Metabarcoding can rapidly determine the species composition of bulk samples and thus aids biodiversity and ecosystem assessment. However, it is essential to use primer sets that minimize amplification bias among taxa to maximize species recovery. Despite

A non-invasive method to predict drought survival in Arabidopsis using quantum yield under light conditions

Plant Methods, 2023
Background Survival rate (SR) is frequently used to compare drought tolerance among plant genotypes. While a variety of techniques for evaluating the stress status of plants under drought stress conditions have been developed, determining the critical ...

Contrasting population genetic responses to migration barriers in two native and an invasive freshwater fish

Evolutionary Applications, 2022
Habitat fragmentation impacts the distribution of genetic diversity and population genetic structure. Therefore, protecting the evolutionary potential of species, especially in the context of the current rate of human‐induced environmental change, is an ...

DNA barcodes enable higher taxonomic assignments in the Acari

Scientific Reports, 2021
Although mites (Acari) are abundant in many terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, their diversity is poorly understood. Since most mite species can be distinguished by variation in the DNA barcode region of cytochrome c oxidase I, the Barcode Index ...
