Evolution of Animal Parasitism in Nematodes of the Suborder Spirurina. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study reconstructs the evolutionary history of parasitism in Spirurina by integrating ancestral state reconstruction (ASR) with a comprehensive phylogenetic framework. Our analyses reveal clear patterns of hostswitching and major transitions in host associations, providing the first broad evolutionary perspective on parasitism within this group ...

Quantitative assessment of the dispersal of soil-dwelling oribatid mites via rodents in restored heathlands. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Heathland restoration using topsoil removal provides an ideal scenario to study colonization processes of soil fauna. We quantitatively assessed passive dispersal of oribatid mites via phoresy using small rodents and compared it to other reported host groups.

New World dung beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) colonization of a recent Miocene insular territory: The case of Costa Rica. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn Costa Rica, Canthidium and Onthophagus have abrupt diversity declines above 1500 m a.s.l. Endemic species showed narrower vertical distribution when compared to non‐endemic ones. Abstract Costa Rica emerged from the seas as a new geological territory during the Miocene as an insular archipelago.

Isolation and Characterization of Yeasts Able to Assimilate Sugarcane Bagasse Hemicellulosic Hydrolysate and Produce Xylitol Associated with Veturius transversus (Passalidae, Coleoptera, and Insecta). [PDF]
Int J Microbiol, 2017 Yeasts are an important component of insect gut microbial content, playing roles such as degradation of polymers and toxic compounds, biological control, and hormone, vitamin, and digestive enzyme production. The xylophagous beetle gut is a hyperdiverse habitat and a potential source of new species with industrial abilities such as enzyme production ...
