Unbiased RNA shotgun metagenomics in social and solitary wild bees detects associations with eukaryote parasites and new viruses [PDF]
, 2016 The diversity of eukaryote organisms and viruses associated with wild bees remains poorly characterized in contrast to the well-documented pathosphere of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera.

Phylogeny of Crataegus (Rosaceae) based on 257 nuclear loci and chloroplast genomes: evaluating the impact of hybridization [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background Hawthorn species (Crataegus L.; Rosaceae tribe Maleae) form a well-defined clade comprising five subgeneric groups readily distinguished using either molecular or morphological data. While multiple subsidiary groups (taxonomic sections, series)

Designing Aedes mosquito traps: the evolution of the male Aedes sound trap by iterative evaluation insects [PDF]
, 2021 Effective surveillance of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, Diptera: Culicidae) is critical to monitoring the impact of vector control measures when mitigating disease transmission by this species. There are benefits to deploying male-specific traps, particularly

Deep reticulation: the long legacy of hybridization in vascular plant evolution
The Plant Journal, Volume 114, Issue 4, Page 743-766, May 2023., 2023 SUMMARY Hybridization has long been recognized as a fundamental evolutionary process in plants but, until recently, our understanding of its phylogenetic distribution and biological significance across deep evolutionary scales has been largely obscure. Over the past decade, genomic and phylogenomic datasets have revealed, perhaps not surprisingly, that

Pollen Morphology in Sorbus L. (Rosaceae) and Its Taxonomic Implications
Plants, 2023 The genus Sorbus L. in the Rosaceae family is taxonomically challenging due to its morphological variation, polyploidy, and interspecific hybridization. In this study, we used scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to observe the pollen morphology of eighty ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 8, Page 3018-3034, November 2022., 2022 Abstract The analysis of target enrichment data in phylogenetics lacks optimization toward using paralogues for phylogenetic reconstruction. We developed a novel approach of detecting paralogues and utilizing them for phylogenetic tree inference, by retrieving both ortho‐ and paralogous copies and creating orthologous alignments, from which the gene ...

The Effects of Boric Acid Sugar Bait on \u3ci\u3eWolbachia\u3c/i\u3e Trans-Infected Male \u3ci\u3eAedes albopictus\u3c/i\u3e (ZAP Males\u3csup\u3e®\u3c/sup\u3e) in Laboratory Conditions [PDF]
, 2021 The field release of Wolbachia trans-infected male mosquitoes, as well as the use of toxic sugar baits, is a novel and promising candidate technique for integrated mosquito management programs. However, the methods of action of the two techniques may not

Genetic control of compatibility in crosses between wheat and its wild or cultivated relatives
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 812-832, May 2022., 2022 Summary In the recent years, the agricultural world has been progressing towards integrated crop protection, in the context of sustainable and reasoned agriculture to improve food security and quality, and to preserve the environment through reduced uses of water, pesticides, fungicides or fertilisers.

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2021., 2021 Premise Custom probe design for target enrichment in phylogenetics is tedious and often hinders broader phylogenetic synthesis. The universal angiosperm probe set Angiosperms353 may be the solution. Here, we test the relative performance of Angiosperms353 on the Rosaceae subtribe Malinae in comparison with custom probes that we specifically designed ...

Bushfires spread modelling over Malea in Northeastern Guinea [PDF]
African Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2019 Bush fires are increasingly becoming a threat to Guinean ecosystems and their understanding is a big challenge to scientists and environmental managers. Using the FARSITE model (Fire Area Simulator), this paper presents the prediction of the spread and characteristics of bush fires in the savannahs of North-eastern Guinea, specifically in Malea/Siguiri
