Colony and population genetic structure of the newly invasive white‐footed ant (Technomyrmex difficilis) in the United States

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 1954-1968, December 2025.
Abstract The invasive white‐footed ant Technomyrmex difficilis has emerged as a rising pest in several regions, yet its invasion dynamics remain underexplored. This species outcompetes native ants and causes agricultural losses by tending pest insects, including aphids and mealybugs.

T cell memory response to MPXV infection exhibits greater effector function and migratory potential compared to MVA-BN vaccination

Nature Communications
In 2022, a global mpox outbreak occurred, and remains a concern today. The T cell memory response to MPXV (monkeypox virus) infection has not been fully investigated.

Allozyme and mitochondrial DNA variability within the New Zealand damselfly genera Xanthocnemis, Austrolestes, and Ischnura (Odonata) [PDF]

, 2007
We collected larval damselflies from 17 sites in the North, South and Chatham Islands, and tested the hypotheses that: (1) genetic markers (e.g., allozymes, mtDNA) would successfully ¬discriminate taxa; and (2) the dispersal capabilities of adult ...

Advancing Marine Conservation: Metabarcoding and Metaphylogeography for a Multi‐Year Biomonitoring of Benthic Communities of National Parks Across Two Seas

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim We have applied a combined metabarcoding and metaphylogeography approach to temporal monitoring of marine protected areas. Biomonitoring is central to conservation, and new molecular methods, in particular metabarcoding‐based techniques, are changing our ability to track diversity in space and time.

Molecular phylogeny of the genus Lythria and description of the male genitalia of L. venustata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Sterrhinae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2009
We present a molecular phylogeny incorporating all five species of the Palaearctic geometrid genus Lythria, based on a 2810-bp combined data matrix comprising the full sequence of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit one (COI) and fragments ...

Complex population genetic structure of the bark beetle predator Thanasimus formicarius (L.) (Coleoptera: Cleridae) across its European range

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 437-451, August 2025.
Abstract Thanasimus formicarius (L.) (Coleoptera: Cleridae) is an important bark beetle predator and can reduce bark beetle population densities of some of the most severe forest pests in Europe. We analysed the population genetics and phylogeography of T.
