Molecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 23, Page 5935-5948, December 2021., 2021 Abstract The technological ability to characterize genetic variation at a genome‐wide scale provides an unprecedented opportunity to study the genetic underpinnings and evolutionary mechanisms that promote and sustain biodiversity. The transition from short‐ to long‐read sequencing is particularly promising and allows a more holistic view on any ...

Diversity, ecology, distribution and biogeography of Diplura
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 415-425, July 2021., 2021 Diplura is the sister group to insects. The order is divided into 10 families, which include 1009 species in 141 genera, with a high proportion of monotypic genera. Diplura depends on high humidity and moderate temperatures, are presumably very sensitive to anthropogenic pressures and climate change, and a suitable model for ecophysiological studies ...

Exceptional endemicity of Aotearoa New Zealand biota shows how taxa dispersal traits, but not phylogeny, correlate with global species richness. [PDF]
J R Soc N ZABSTRACT Species’ with more limited dispersal and consequently less gene flow are more likely to form new spatially segregated species and thus contribute disproportionally to endemic biota and global species richness. Aotearoa New Zealand has exceptional endemicity, with 52% of its 54,000 named species endemic, including 32%, 39% and 68% for ...

Assessing climatic and intrinsic factors that drive arthropod diversity in bird nests
Gayana, 2020 Bird nests are specialized structures that act as microrefuge and a source of food for arthropods. Nest arthropod richness and composition may vary according to the nest builder, geographical location and nest size.

Fossil evidence for key innovations in the evolution of insect diversity [PDF]
, 2014 Explaining the taxonomic richness of the insects, comprising over half of all described species, is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Previously, several evolutionary novelties (key innovations) have been posited to contribute to that richness ...

Abundance and diversity of soil arthropods in the olive grove ecosystem [PDF]
, 2012 Arthropods are part of important functional groups in soil food webs. Recognizing these arthropods and understanding their function in the ecosystem as well as when they are active is essential to understanding their roles.

A new type of arthropod photoreceptor [PDF]
, 2000 A new type of photoreceptor for the phylum Arthropoda, found in the class Collembola (Arthropoda, Hexapoda) is reported. This new light-sensitive structure consists of a pair of interocular vesicles present in the genus Vesicephalus Richards, 1964 and is
