Comparative Analysis of Stress Adaptation in the Yeast Microbiome of Cactus

Yeast, EarlyView.
Yeasts and related fungi isolated from cacti or nearby non‐cactus plants were characterized phenotypically and genomically, revealing differences that hint at modes of adaptation to the cactus host. ABSTRACT Together with other fungi, yeasts make up a significant component of the plant microbiome. As the planet warms, cacti expand their range.

Comparative study of mtDNA in species of the genus Adalia (Coleoptera: Cocinellidae) and origin of ancient mitochondrial haplotypes in the gene pool of Adalia bipunctata

European Journal of Entomology, 2013
Fifteen different mitochondrial haplotypes of the mtDNA gene COI encoding cytochrome C oxidase subunit I were identified in the 127 individuals of Adalia bipunctata studied. Two mitochondrial haplotypes, H9 and H10, differed greatly from the others.

Goose herbivory alters soil microbial community functional potential in a sub‐Arctic wetland

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory alters below‐ground resource dynamics via direct and indirect mechanisms, yet its effects on microbial functional potential remain poorly understood. This limits our understanding of the mechanisms that link animal, plant and microbial functional roles in ...

Testing the usage of ITS2 and 28S-D2 markers in identifying some species of Ammophila, Prionyx, and Sphex genera (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae)

Journal of New Results in Science, 2015
In addition to traditional methods, investigation of rDNA gene regions with molecular techniques is widely used to identify insect taxa. In this study, the usability of the primers (TrITS2, 28S-D2) belonging to second expansion segment (D2) of the 28S ...

Impact of harvest intensity on ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungal communities in forest soils

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Low‐intensity tree harvesting has been proposed as a sustainable forest management practice to balance and preserve forest productivity, carbon storage and resilience to climate extremes. Soil fungi play a central role in driving tree performance and soil carbon storage,

Sycophila pistacina (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae): A valid species

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
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.

Pollinator community composition and pollen resource use in calcareous grasslands under different landscape contexts across Europe

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In this paper, we show that pronounced differences in pollinator communities exist between grasslands embedded in contrasting agricultural landscape contexts. Opportunistic foraging strategies of most pollinators resulted in large interaction turnover, but these shifts did not translate into major changes in overall network structure, most likely as a ...

ITSxRust: ITS Region extraction with partial‐chain recovery and structured diagnostics for long‐read amplicon sequencing

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐read amplicon sequencing is now routine for fungal metabarcoding, and locating the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) subregions within reads has become a throughput bottleneck. Existing extractors were designed for shorter reads and for datasets in which near‐identical sequences are common, and neither assumption holds for Oxford Nanopore
