The genome‐wide response of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus to cystatin A, a peptidase inhibitor from human skin, sheds light on its digestive physiology and allergenicity

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 662-677, December 2024.
The genome of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus was screened for genes encoding peptidases (n = 320), glycosylases (n = 77), lipases and esterases (n = 320), peptidase inhibitors (n = 65) and allergen‐related proteins (n = 52). Ingestion of cystatin A caused the regulation of cysteine endopeptidases and glycosylases, genes acquired by horizontal gene ...

Ectosimbiontes de roedores sinantrópicos de Celestún, Yucatán, México. Nuevos registros de ácaros mióbidos y miocóptidos para la península de Yucatán [PDF]

The municipality of Celestún is located inside the Reserva de la Biosfera Ría Celestún (RBRC), in Yucatán, Mexico. Because the natural reserve is diverse in flora and fauna, there is a large influx of tourists.

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2024.
Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

The mitochondrial genome of the oribatid mite Paraleius leontonychus: new insights into tRNA evolution and phylogenetic relationships in acariform mites [PDF]

, 2018
Bilaterian mitochondrial (mt) genomes are circular molecules that typically contain 37 genes. To date, only a single complete mitogenome sequence is available for the species-rich sarcoptiform mite order Oribatida.

Mite Control and Sensory Evaluations of Dry-Cured Hams with Food-Grade Coatings

Meat and Muscle Biology, 2017
The ham mite, (Schrank; Sarcoptiformes: Acaridae), is the predominant pest of dry-cured pork during aging. This research was conducted 1) to determine the minimal concentrations of propylene glycol necessary for food grade coatings to control mites; and

Diet components associated with specific bacterial taxa shape overall gut community compositions in omnivorous African viverrids

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
This study employs DNA metabarcoding on faecal samples to analyse the diets and gut bacterial communities of two African mammals within the order Carnivora: Civettictis civetta and Genetta spp. We demonstrate a significantly higher number of diet taxa than previous morphological studies, offering deeper insights into the feeding behaviours of these ...

Overview of Arachnids and Arachnology in Iran [PDF]

, 2022
An overview of the Arachnida and their study in Iran is provided. Besides ancient poetry, relics (going back to 5,000 YBP), and early medical observations (at least 2,000 YBP), the first published taxonomical observations of arachnids from Iran were in ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals seasonal changes in diet composition across four arthropod‐eating lizard species (Phrynosomatidae: Sceloporus)

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 480-495, May 2024.
By applying DNA metabarcoding approach, we explored the seasonal diet variation among four Sceloporus lizard species (S. aeneus, S. bicanthalis, S. grammicus, and S. spinosus) inhabiting a mountainous region in central Mexico. Our results demonstrated that these species are generalist predators feeding on different arthropod orders such as Coleoptera ...

Capacity and establishment rules govern the number of nonnative species in communities of ground‐dwelling invertebrates

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
We use the North American NEON pitfall trapping network to document the number of nonnative species from 51 invertebrate communities, testing four classes of drivers. We found evidence for two types of constraints on nonnative diversity. Consistent with Capacity rules (i.e., how the number of niches and individuals reflect the number of species an ...
