Sycophila pistacina (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae): A valid species [PDF]
Sycophila pistacina (Rondani), which was previously synonymized with Sycophila biguttata (Swederus), is revalidated. Morphological, morphometric and molecular data confirm its status as a separate species.

Inferring population structure and genetic diversity of the invasive alien Nootka lupin in Iceland
Polar and subpolar regions are known for their particular vulnerability and sensitivity to the detrimental effects of non-indigenous species, which is well exemplified by the Nootka lupin (Lupinus nootkatensis) spread in Iceland.

Novel insights into the genetic diversity of Balantidium and Balantidium-like cyst-forming ciliates [PDF]
Balantidiasis is considered a neglected zoonotic disease with pigs serving as reservoir hosts. However, Balantidium coli has been recorded in many other mammalian species, including primates. Here, we evaluated the genetic diversity of B.

PCR-SSCP: a method to fingerprinting sequence variability in plant gene pool using the Iranian wild diploid Triticum gene pool as a case study [PDF]
As a case study, the genotypic polymorphism of the Iranian material of diploid Triticum was screened based on internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) using single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. This is a simple
