Drivers of the Functional and Taxonomic Dark Diversity of Regional Flea Assemblages in Four Biogeographic Realms

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 6, November 2026.
The functional and the traditional (= taxonomic) approaches to dark diversity measurement were applied to investigate environmental and host‐associated factors affecting regional dark diversity size and community completeness in four biogeographic realms.

Renal Trichodinosis in the Japanese Rice Fish, Oryzias latipes: First Report and Phylogenetic Classification

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Investigation of a disease outbreak in a hobbyist's medaka (Oryzias latipes) collection led to the detection of Trichodina sp. in the kidney tubuli of individual fish. Based on this observation, a thorough clinical workup, including native microscopy, histopathology and molecular genetics, was conducted.

Microbiome and Pathobiome Characterization in Farmed Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) During and Post Scale Drop Disease Outbreaks

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Large‐scale double‐digest RAD sequencing (ddRADseq) datasets generated for genotyping are increasingly available in aquaculture, yet their unmapped reads remain largely unexplored for pathogen surveillance. Here, we evaluated the utility and limitations of repurposing unmapped ddRADseq reads to examine pathogen‐associated and disease ...

Ectoparasites on bats

, 2013
Na području Republike Hrvatske zabilježeno je 35 vrsta šišmiša, od kojih se jedna vrsta smatra regionalno izumrla. Kako bi bolje razumjeli ekologiju šišmiša i time pomogli njihovoj zaštiti, potrebno je sagledati i njihove ektoparazite, kao jedne od ...

Assessing the microstructure of simple rhamphothecae in chickens (Aves: Galliformes: Gallus gallus domesticus)

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 1099-1111, November 2026.
Simple rhamphotheca are externally homogeneous but internally are composed of several corneous layers with varying hardness. Areas under more mechanical stress such as the rostral portion and the tomia are significantly harder than other areas. Abstract Corneous sheaths on the jaws of beaked tetrapods, or rhamphothecae, are classified as simple or ...

Asymmetric Migration Shapes Genetic Structure of the Invasive Avian Vampire Fly (Philornis downsi) Across the Galápagos Islands

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 21, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions on islands provide a natural framework to study how dispersal and connectivity influence evolutionary and ecological processes. The avian nest parasitic fly, Philornis downsi—first recorded in Darwin's finch nests in 1997—causes high mortality in endemic land birds, yet its inter‐island and sex‐specific patterns of ...

Relationships Among MHC Diversity, Parasites and Secondary Sexual Colouration

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 21, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Sexual selection via honest (costly) signals of fitness can generate patterns in immunogenetic diversity at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). MHC diversity explains variation in immunocompetence—and therefore fitness—thus impacting the ability to generate honest signals.
