ABSTRACT Aim The biogeography and evolution of South African sea cucumbers have been previously explored; however, these aspects lack detailed study. This study (1) explores the biogeography of sea cucumbers along the coastline of South Africa (SA) and (2) presents a preliminary molecular phylogeny based on the mitochondrial 16S marker.

Four Afrotropical Culicoides species are recorded in Mauritius with suspected or historically involvement in BTV and EHDV transmission. All species were distributed all over the island. While intra‐specific morphological variations were detected, genetic analyses did not reveal any cryptic diversity. Abstract Viruses transmitted by biting midge species

Faunistic Studies in Entomology
I desire to call attention in this note to the desirability of more extensive and especially more distinctly correlated studies upon the insect fauna of the country and especially with reference to the localities represented by the members of this society.

Abstract Premise We examined the African arid corridor (AAC) disjunction pattern of vascular plants between northeastern and southwestern Africa in the context of geological and climatic events since the late Miocene. We developed a phylogenetic and biogeographical framework for the arid‐adapted genus Sesamothamnus (Pedaliaceae), a classic example of ...

[Sandflies of Lebanon: faunistic inventory].
An entomological study was made in order to complete the epidemiological data on leishmaniasis in Lebanon. 19 species of sandflies (13 of the genus Phlebotomus and six of the genus Sergentomyia) were found. The list includes a recently described species of the Synphlebotomus subgenus (P.

DNA Barcode Reference Library for European Ants: A Roadmap for Phylogeography and Species Discovery
ABSTRACT DNA barcode reference libraries provide useful tools for specimen identification, highlighting potential new species and detecting introduced ones. Here, we present a comprehensive DNA barcode library for European ants and, in order to tackle the Linnean, Wallacean and Darwinian shortfalls of this group, we provide an updated checklist ...

Antifreeze proteins from winter‐active spiders were purified using their affinity for ice. After LC–MSMS characterization, corresponding transcripts were identified. The antifreeze protein folds as a β‐solenoid with a large flat ice‐binding site on one surface and can bind to ice crystals and prevent their growth at −4 °C.
