Assessment of the Biogeography and Molecular Phylogenetics of Sea Cucumbers (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) in South Africa

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.
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.

Faunistic inventory of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Mauritius Island, Indian Ocean: Diversity and spatial distribution of species of veterinary interest Inventaire faunistique du genre Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) sur l'île Maurice dans l'océan Indien: diversité et répartition spatiale des espèces présentant un intérêt vétérinaire

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 282-293, June 2026.
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

open access: yesAnnals of the Entomological Society of America, 1912
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.

Evaluating the African arid corridor hypothesis: A meta‐analysis including the phylogenetic and biogeographical history of Sesamothamnus

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 5, May 2026.
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].

open access: yesParasite (Paris, France), 2003
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

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
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 ...

Winter‐active spiders (Clubiona) have a hyperactive antifreeze protein with a unique beta‐solenoid fold

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 8, Page 2270-2290, April 2026.
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.
