The tick family Ixodidae is represented by 752 species and 17 genera (two genera are fossil). A total of 137 species are present in the Neotropics, most of them (about 100) endemic to this region. From all the genera distributed in the Neotropics, Amblyomma Koch, 1844 is the one with highest specific diversity.

We developed the MPG Ranch Arthropod Library (MPG‐AL), a COI DNA barcode reference library for arthropods of the Northern Rocky Mountains, to address gaps in barcode coverage for the western United States. From 86,533 specimens collected in Montana, we generated 52,270 DNA barcodes spanning 38 orders and 1793 species, adding 5154 Barcode Index Numbers (

Abstract Stable isotope analysis (SIA) is widely used to reconstruct food webs, characterize trophic relationships, and estimate dietary composition. However, bulk tissue SIA (BSIA) can yield imprecise estimates when dietary sources are isotopically similar.

Overview of Arachnids and Arachnology in Iran [PDF]
An overview of the Arachnida and their study in Iran is provided. Besides ancient poetry, relics (going back to 5,000 YBP), and early medical observations (at least 2,000 YBP), the first published taxonomical observations of arachnids from Iran were in ...

ABSTRACT Hybridization and introgression frequently occur even between distantly related species. A central question in speciation research is which genomic regions act as barriers to gene flow and how genome‐wide differentiation persists despite hybridization between species.

Argas vespertilionis (Ixodida: Argasidae): A parasite of Pipistrel bat in Western Iran
Ticks (suborder Ixodida) ecologically divided into two nidicolous and non-nidicolous groups. More argasid ticks are classified into the former group whereas they are able to coordinate with the specific host(s) and living inside/adjacent to their host’s ...

Ticks and tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) threaten livestock productivity and public health worldwide, and climate–land‐use change is expanding vector habitats, elevating tick‐borne disease risk. However, TBP diversity and risk in Hubei Province, central China, remain insufficiently defined within a One Health framework.
