When the host’s away, the pathogen will play: the protective role of the skin microbiome during hibernation

open access: yesAnimal Microbiome, 2023
The skin of animals is enveloped by a symbiotic microscopic ecosystem known as the microbiome. The host and microbiome exhibit a mutualistic relationship, collectively forming a single evolutionary unit sometimes referred to as a holobiont.

Lyomyces denudatus, a new species with a disjunct distribution

open access: yesLilloa, 2022
We describe a new corticioid species Lyomyces denudatus based on morphological and molecular data (nuc rDNA ITS). It occurs both in the extreme south of South America and New Zealand. Our phylogenetic analyses place it near L.

Lichen speciation is sparked by a substrate requirement shift and reproduction mode differentiation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
We show that obligate lignicoles in lichenized Micarea are predominately asexual whereas most facultative lignicoles reproduce sexually. Our phylogenetic analyses (ITS, mtSSU, Mcm7) together with ancestral state reconstruction show that the shift in ...

Diurnal moths have larger hearing organs: evidence from comparative 3D morphometric study on geometrid moths [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
Tympanal organs, crucial for anti-bat defence in moths and key for taxonomy, are often overlooked due to their fragility during dissection. Using micro-CT, we analyzed the tympanal organs of 19 geometrid species, comparing diurnal and nocturnal species ...

Next‐generation ultrasonic recorders facilitate effective bat activity and distribution monitoring by citizen scientists

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Time and budgetary resources are often a limiting factor in the collection of large‐scale ecological data. If data collected by citizen scientists were comparable to data collected by researchers, it would allow for more efficient data collection over a ...
