Reliable Inference of Phylogenomic Relationship via Assembly‐Based Strategy Accommodating Raw Reads and Proteins

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Phylogenomics is a transformative approach in systematics, conservation biology, and biomedical research, enabling the inference of evolutionary relationships by leveraging hundreds to thousands of genes from genomic or transcriptomic data. However, acquiring high‐quality genomes and transcriptomes necessitates samples with intact DNA and RNA,

Dermoscopy applied to pediculosis corporis diagnosis [PDF]

Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2014
We report the case of a 47-year-old homeless male with a massive infestation of Pediculus humanus corporison his entire body. Dermoscopy helped to diagnose pediculosis by showing the involvement of scalp, beard and the genital region in this disease.

Elevated carbon dioxide can boost freshwater zooplankton abundance, while warming may shift community composition, weakening phytoplankton control

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S273-S288, December 2025.
Abstract Zooplankton communities in ponds and lakes control phytoplankton growth and serve as a food source for higher trophic levels such as fish. Recent experiments have shown that several freshwater zooplankton species as well as the phytoplankton communities on which they feed can be variably affected by rising temperatures, reduced pH and higher ...

Climate and catchment influence the postglacial succession of three lakes in south‐central Baffin Island (Nunavut), Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 1377-1391, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding postglacial ontogeny in Arctic lakes helps contextualize modern‐day climatic change. We used sediment cores to characterize ecological succession in three south‐central Baffin Island lakes from deglaciation (c. 7–8k cal a BP) to present.

Role of the Setae in an Ectoparasitic Seal Louse in Reducing Surface Drag: Numerical Modeling Approach

Advanced Theory and Simulations, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
The seal louse Echinophthirius horridus has uniquely shaped setae that may reduce drag during its host's dives. Using numerical simulations, this study demonstrates that their natural inclination promotes vortex formation, minimizing friction and energy loss. These findings provide insights into biological surface adaptations and may inspire the design
