Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Testing use of mitochondrial COI sequences for the identification and phylogenetic analysis of New Zealand caddisflies (Trichoptera) [PDF]
, 2009 We tested the hypothesis that cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) sequences would successfully discriminate recognised species of New Zealand caddisflies. We further examined whether phylogenetic analyses, based on the COI locus, could recover currently

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background The phylogeny of Arthropoda is still a matter of harsh debate among systematists, and significant disagreement exists between morphological and molecular studies.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Camera traps, combined with AI, have emerged to achieve automated, scalable biodiversity monitoring. However, passive infrared (PIR) sensors that typically trigger camera traps are poorly suited for detecting small, fast‐moving ectotherms such as insects. Insects comprise over half of all animal species and are key components of ecosystems and

Diversity of springtails (Hexapoda) according to a altitudinal gradient [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2009 The objective of this work was to elevate gradient effect on diversity of Collembola, in a temperate forest on the northeast slope of Iztaccíhuatl Volcano, Mexico. Four expeditions were organized from November 2003 to August 2004, at four altitudes (2,753, 3,015, 3,250 and 3,687 m a.s.l.). In each site, air temperature, CO2 concentration, humidity, and

Specialist or generalist? Feeding ecology of the Malagasy poison frog Mantella aurantiaca [PDF]
, 2007 We studied the diet of a population of free-ranging Mantella aurantiaca, an alkaloid-containing poison frog from Madagascar. As in other poison frogs, this species is thought to sequester alkaloids from arthropod prey.

LTR-retrotransposons in R. exoculata and other crustaceans [PDF]
, 2013 Transposable elements are major constituents of eukaryote genomes and have a great impact on genome structure and stability. They can contribute to the genetic diversity and evolution of organisms. Knowledge of their distribution among several genomes is

A checklist of subterranean arthropods of Iran
Subterranean Biology, 2017 Understanding subterranean biodiversity is important, yet vast regions of the world remain poorly explored. Here, we provide the first step towards cataloguing the subterranean arthropods of Iran. After review and analysis of the available literature and

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.
