ABSTRACT Three forested dispersal corridors have been proposed within the diagonal of open/dry landscapes in South America and the relative importance of each one has been the subject of debate for forest organisms. We analysed the biogeographical history of three snake genera (Bothrops, Philodryas, and Micrurus) from different families (Viperidae ...

ABSTRACT The Astur [gentilis] superspecies comprising five species has a long record of taxonomic debate. Recent evidence based on mitochondrial data, limited genomic data and bioacoustics suggested a Nearctic‐Palearctic split of the former Holarctic species Astur gentilis, leading to a taxonomic revision of classifying Palearctic Astur gentilis and ...

The African Mole‐Rat Genus Cryptomys and Its Species: Distinct in Their Genes and Habitats
ABSTRACTThe African mole‐rat genus Cryptomys comprises five morphologically cryptic lineages distributed across South Africa and in Zimbabwe, historically treated as subspecies of C. hottentotus (C. h. hottentotus, C. h. mahali, C. h. natalensis, C. h. pretoriae and C. h. nimrodi).

ABSTRACT Cryptic marine species complexes with plastic morphology, shallow divergence, and broad distributions are among the hardest taxonomic problems in zoology. The Ostrea stentina complex, reported across the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Indo‐Pacific, is a striking example. We present the first topotype‐anchored integrative revision of this complex,

Introgressed Brassica napus × Sinapis alba enhance resistance to the crucifer flea beetle (Phyllotreta cruciferae). [PDF]
This study demonstrates that Brassica napus lines with Sinapis alba introgressions enhanced resistance against Phyllotreta cruciferae, resulting in reduced feeding damage and improved seedling physiological performance. The introgressed lines showed strong potential as genetic resources for developing more resilient and sustainable canola varieties ...

Why Anthropologists Should Study Dogs
ABSTRACT While primates have traditionally been a focus of evolutionary anthropologists, the domestic dog represents a valuable complementary model due to its long shared evolutionary history with humans. The advantages of studying dogs are particularly evident in four key areas: (1) analyzing evolutionary adaptations, (2) understanding humanity's past,

Aphid Resistance in Pulse Crops: Sources, Mechanisms, Genetics and Breeding
ABSTRACT Aphids are major pests of pulse crops, causing damage through phloem sap feeding and virus transmission. In this context, resistant varieties are central components of sustainable aphid management. This review synthesizes current knowledge on resistance sources, phenotyping strategies, resistance mechanisms, genetic control and breeding ...
