Haplotype Diversity of NADPH-Cytochrome P450 Reductase Gene of Ophiocordyceps sinensis and the Effect on Fungal Infection in Host Insects

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Ophiocordyceps sinensis Berk. is a fungal parasite that parasitizes the larvae of Hepialidae and is used as a traditional Chinese medicine. However, it is not clear how O. sinensis infects its host.

Future Habitat Shifts and Economic Implications for Ophiocordyceps sinensis Under Climate Change

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Ophiocordyceps sinensis, a key traditional medicine from the Tibetan Plateau, is losing habitat due to overharvesting and climate change. This study shows that China, producing 91.9% of the global supply, will see suitable habitats shift to higher altitudes.

Quantifying the economic cost of invertebrate pests to New Zealand’s pastoral industry

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 255-315, September 2019., 2019
ABSTRACT The invertebrate pests most commonly affecting New Zealand’s pastoral‐based production in ‘average’ years cause losses of between $1.7B and $2.3B p.a. of which up to $0.9B occur on sheep and beef farms and $1.4B on dairy farms. The native scarab grass grub is the most costly pest causing losses of $140–380 M on dairy farms and $75–205 M on ...

MISSEL: a method to identify a large number of small species-specific genomic subsequences and its application to viruses classification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Continuous improvements in next generation sequencing technologies led to ever-increasing collections of genomic sequences, which have not been easily characterized by biologists, and whose analysis requires huge computational effort.

Species traits to guide moth conservation in anthropogenic regions: A multi‐species approach using distribution trends in Flanders (northern Belgium)

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1016-1032, November 2024.
By applying Multi‐Species Change Indices to over 1.8 million citizen scientist observations from 1980 to 2022, we assessed the distributional changes of macro‐moths in Flanders (northern Belgium)—a highly anthropogenic region in Northwest Europe—by linking temporal trends to 10 key ecological and life history traits.

Diet in phenotypically divergent sympatric species of African weakly electric fish (genus: Campylomormyrus)—A hybrid capture/HTS metabarcoding approach

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, February 2024.
Abstract Ecological speciation within the mormyrid genus Campylomormyrus resulted in sympatric species exhibiting divergence in their feeding apparatus and electric organ discharge (EOD). This study documents the overall diet of the genus Campylomormyrus and examines the hypothesis that the Campylomormyrus radiation is caused by adaptation to different
