Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 319-329, May 2025.Our investigation applied genome skimming to museum specimens of Syntretus, a parasitoid wasp, due to its suspected parasitism of short‐haired bumblebee (Bombus subterraneus) queens during a reintroduction programme. We detected two clades within Syntretus, a possible consequence of host choice.

IbinA and IbinB regulate the Toll pathway-mediated immune response in Drosophila melanogaster
BMC BiologyBackground To combat infection, an immune system needs to be promptly activated but tightly controlled to avoid destruction of host tissues. IbinA and IbinB are related short peptides with robust expression upon microbial challenge in Drosophila ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.The study expands genomic resources for Drosophila and Scaptodrosophila species by using mitochondrial genomes. Phylogenetic analyses revealed well‐supported evolutionary relationships, with Scaptodrosophila forming a distinct lineage and several Drosophila subgroups exhibiting monophyly, though discrepancies were found in the placement of the suzukii ...

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 12, December 2024.Abstract Five epidemiological aspects of ASF were evaluated using literature reviews, field studies, questionnaires and mathematical models. First, a literature review and a case–control study in commercial pig farms emphasised the importance of biosecurity and farming practices, including the spread of manure around farms and the use of bedding ...

Phylogeny of the Orangethroat Darter (Etheostoma spectabile) species complex in the Ozark Highlands of Arkansas [PDF]
, 2018 Darters are small, benthic fishes that live in freshwater rivers and streams and belong to the family Percidae. Pleistocene glaciations fragmented many darter species, resulting in speciation, but new species are often hard to detect if they are ...
