Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Most insect communities are composed of evolutionarily diverse lineages, but detailed phylogenetic analyses of whole communities are lacking, in particular in species-rich tropical faunas.

The Deep History of Life [PDF]
The Biomedical & Life Sciences Collection, 2012 The conventional fossil record is built of hard parts—bones, shells, and decay-resistant organic tissues buried in the sediments that accumulate on floodplains, in lakes, and on the seafloor. In the 1950s, geologists first began the routine application of radioactive decay to problems of geologic age.

Legacies in life histories [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2006 Complex life-histories are common in nature, have many important biological consequences, and are an important focal area for integrative biology. For organisms with complex life-histories, a legacy is something handed down from an ancestor or previous stage, and can be genetic, nutritional/provisional, experiential, as well as the result of random ...

Wellcome Open Research, 2022 We present a genome assembly from an individual female Ischnura elegans (the blue-tailed damselfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Odonata; Coenagrionidae). The genome sequence is 1,723 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (99.55%) is scaffolded into 14

EvoDevo, 2018 Background Tapeworms are agents of neglected tropical diseases responsible for significant health problems and economic loss. They also exhibit adaptations to a parasitic lifestyle that confound comparisons of their development with other animals ...

The “Life Histories” of Genes [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2015 Genes do not only originate. Genes have their own life histories. Life histories of genes might differ in the way the genes originate, but also in how fast they become established, and how long they persist in the genome. To understand the diversity of life histories of genes it is necessary to consider genes of various ages as each age group can ...

Macroparasite Life Histories [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 Parasites and parasitism is common. Worm macroparasites have evolved life-history traits that allow them to successfully transmit between spatially and temporally separated patches of host resource and to survive within these environments. Macroparasites have common life-history strategies to achieve this, but these general themes are modified in a ...

Toward accurate species‐level metabarcoding of arthropod communities from the tropical forest canopy
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Metabarcoding of arthropod communities can be used for assessing species diversity in tropical forests but the methodology requires validation for accurate and repeatable species occurrences in complex mixtures.

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Variation in dispersal capacity may influence population genetic variation and relatedness of freshwater animals thus demonstrating how life‐history traits influence patterns and processes that in turn influence biodiversity. The majority of studies have

A robust phylogenetic framework for ophiostomatoid fungi: orders Ophiostomatales and Microascales (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota) [PDF]
MycoKeysOphiostomatoids are an ecological group of microfungi that commonly associate with bark and ambrosia beetles. In addition to being insect symbionts, they play significant ecological roles as plant pathogens and include species responsible for major ...
