Bacterial composition of Polygenis (Polygenis) bohlsi bohlsi (Wagner, 1901) (Siphonaptera: Rhopalopsyllidae) associated with Thrichomys fosteri (Rodentia: Echimyidae) in the Brazilian Pantanal wetland

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
This study characterizes the bacteriome of Polygenis (Polygenis) bohlsi bohlsi fleas collected from free‐living Thrichomys fosteri in the Pantanal region of Brazil. The bacterial microbiota associated with male fleas exhibited greater phylogenetic diversity, and the overall community structure differed between the flea sexes.

Floral adaptation and modular trait evolution associated with a shift from bee to hummingbird pollination

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
By comparing floral trait variation, integration and modularity in two sister species of Neotropical Costus with a pollination shift, we show that, despite pollination syndrome divergence, both species exhibit low floral variation and functional modularity, consistent with pollinator‐driven selection on traits mediating pollen transfer efficiency and ...

Floral intra‐individual variation differs between morphs and is linked to pollen deposition in self‐incompatible distylous plants

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
For most traits, floral intra‐individual variation was similar between morphs and populations with different pollinator guilds (bees and hummingbirds), potentially facilitating effective pollen transfer in distylous systems. Still, greater variation in corolla length increased pollen deposition in L‐morph flowers in the bee‐pollinated population ...

Tropical savanna restoration: topsoil removal and direct‐seeding promote a biodiverse and invasion‐resistant community

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Open ecosystems, such as native grasslands and savannas, cover vast tropical areas and sustain multiple ecosystem services. However, they face intense degradation due to conversion into pastures with exotic grasses that invade natural ecosystems.

Natural Infection by Toscana Virus and Other Phleboviruses in Wild Sand Flies From Spain: Prevalence, Genetic Characterization and Tripartite Interactions With Leishmania infantum and Wolbachia

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Toscana virus (TOSV) and Leishmania species are sand fly‐borne pathogens that pose a significant public health threat and an increasing risk of exposure in Europe. The objective of this study was to identify the phleboviruses circulating in an area endemic for sand fly‐borne pathogens and to estimate infection prevalence in wild ...

On the Origin of the Tingidae (Insecta, Heteroptera)

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The hypothesis of a Gondwanian origin of the family Tingidae (Insecta, Heteroptera) has been promoted and seems to be generally accepted by specialists. However, the area of emergence and diversification of the clade, South American or Australian, is still debated and cannot be solved without integrating Vianaidinae, a subfamily considered as ...

Neotropical Snakes Reveal Different Geological Times for Dispersal Corridors Between Amazon and Atlantic Forests

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three forested dispersal corridors have been proposed within the diagonal of open/dry landscapes in South America and the relative importance of each one has been the subject of debate for forest organisms. We analysed the biogeographical history of three snake genera (Bothrops, Philodryas, and Micrurus) from different families (Viperidae ...
