Parthenogenetic vs. sexual reproduction in oribatid mite communities

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The dominance of sex in Metazoa is enigmatic. Sexual species allocate resources to the production of males, while potentially facing negative effects such as the loss of well‐adapted genotypes due to recombination, and exposure to diseases and predators ...

Physical and Chemical Controls on Suffosion Development in Gypsic Soil, Culberson County, Texas [PDF]

, 2018
In the Gypsum Plain, suffosion processes have encouraged road failure through dissolution and transport of gypsic soils; however, no prior research has been conducted within the Delaware Basin in regard to these processes.

New insights into the biology of the rare ectoparasitoid rhopalosomatid wasps (Hymenoptera: Rhopalosomatidae) in the Neotropics: parasitoid–host relationships in Brazil and Costa Rica

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.
Abstract Rhopalosomatidae (Hymenoptera, Vespoidea) are rare ectoparasitoid wasps that parasitize crickets (Grylloidea), with few records documented in the literature, which originate from the Nearctic and Australian regions. Here, we report the first record of Rhopalosomatidae larvae parasitizing crickets of the family Phalangopsidae in the Neotropics.

Historical development of biospeleology in Romania after the death of Emile Racovitza

Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza, 2007
This is a modest contribution to the history of science, respectively the history of the Romanian biospeleology. Biospeleology, the science created by Emile Racovitza in 1907, knew, after the death of the scientist a second period of great development ...

Hominin and carnivore roles during the formation of the early Middle Pleistocene site of Loreto (Venosa Basin, southern Italy)

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1252-1268, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The site of Loreto (Venosa Basin, Italy) was first discovered in 1929 and subsequently excavated during the latter half of the 20th century. The excavation revealed three archaeo‐palaeontological levels, with the lowermost level (Level A) yielding the largest number of remains.

Alpine endemic spiders shed light on the origin and evolution of subterranean species [PDF]

, 2016
We designed a comparative study to unravel the phylogeography of two Alpine endemic spiders characterized by a different degree of adaptation to subterranean life: Troglohyphantes vignai (Araneae, Linyphiidae) and Pimoa rupicola (Araneae, Pimoidae), the ...

Four novel taxa of cyanobacteria from a unique thermal cave habitat in Vromoner Canyon, Albania

Journal of Phycology, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 1394-1422, October 2025.
Abstract Thermal and cave habitats on nearly all continents have been a substantial source of new cyanobacterial genotypes and morphotypes that expanded with the dawn of the era of molecular phylogenetics. In this study, we investigated the cyanobacterial flora of an extreme habitat of recently discovered caves with sulfur‐rich thermal springs, using ...

Half a century after Ionescu’s work on Romanian Diplura – A faunal contribution based on material collected from karst areas [PDF]

, 2012
The main publication on the Romanian diplurans belongs to M.A. Ionescu who inventoried 22 species mainly from soil and forest litter from 22 collecting points. The further faunal investigation of two caves (Peştera Izvorul Tăuşoarelor and Peştera Movile)

Drift Reduction in Terrestrial Laser Scanning via Linear Dual Quaternion Interpolation

The Photogrammetric Record, Volume 40, Issue 192, October–December 2025.
This work introduces a terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point cloud registration pipeline combining optimized fast global registration (keypoint extraction + fine‐tuning) and multiscale GICP refinement. A closed‐loop global model employs dual quaternion linear interpolation to correct trajectory drift, enhancing 3D reconstruction accuracy in TLS ...
