Multiple full‐length variants of the mitochondrial COI DNA barcode region are prevalent in north European sawflies

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
DNA barcoding is an effective species identification method, but it depends strongly on the assumption that each specimen is represented by a single barcode sequence. Using high‐throughput sequencing, we demonstrate that North European sawflies frequently harbour multiple full‐length, seemingly functional barcode variants within a single individual ...

Harnessing Advanced Molecular and Digital Tools for Early Detection of Vector‐Borne Pathogens in Mosquitoes to Control the Emergence and Resurgence of Infectious Diseases

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) transmitted by mosquitoes and other arthropods remain a major global health concern, responsible for millions of infections and deaths annually. These include malaria (Plasmodium spp.), dengue, Zika, chikungunya, West Nile fever, filariasis (Wuchereria bancrofti), leishmaniasis (Leishmania spp.), and Lyme disease (Borrelia ...

Groundnut Ringspot Orthotospovirus: An Emerging Problem for Soybean Production in São Paulo State

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 9, Page 2846-2856, December 2025.
Groundnut ringspot orthotospovirus is widely distributed in soybean fields in São Paulo State and is transmitted by thrips and, rarely, via seeds; it is a threat to soybean production with implications for virus spread and management. ABSTRACT Orthotospoviruses affect vegetable, leguminous and ornamental plants globally and are transmitted by thrips ...

Harnessing 50 years of tick population genetics: Choosing the right molecular tool for contemporary research

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2159-2177, November 2025.
Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting

Seasonal decomposition and the effect of clothing in Cape Town, South Africa

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 70, Issue 6, Page 2183-2197, November 2025.
Abstract Unidentified, unclaimed human remains are a substantial problem in many developing nations, including South Africa. Most forensic cases in Cape Town involve clothed individuals found in thicketed environments. To assist in local medico‐legal death investigations, we gathered taphonomic data on six clothed and four unclothed 60 kg porcine ...

Differentiating homicidal, suicidal, and autoerotic neck compression deaths

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 70, Issue 6, Page 2360-2374, November 2025.
Abstract Neck compression occurs when a mechanical force is applied to the anterior or anterolateral aspect of the neck. This can occur in various circumstances, including homicide, suicide, and autoerotic accidents. While forensic medical specialties effectively determine the cause of death in such cases, establishing the manner of death remains ...

Quality issue management and disclosure in forensic science: A survey of practice and perceptions

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 70, Issue 5, Page 1866-1881, September 2025.
Abstract Addressing calls for transparency regarding errors and limitations in forensic processes is an ongoing concern for the forensic science service provider community and the stakeholders it serves worldwide. Foundational to this goal is developing a consistent approach to the identification of issues that have, or could have, an impact on the ...
