The cryptonephridial/rectal complex: an evolutionary adaptation for water and ion conservation
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 647-671, April 2025.ABSTRACT Arthropods have integrated digestive and renal systems, which function to acquire and maintain homeostatically the substances they require for survival. The cryptonephridial complex (CNC) is an evolutionary novelty in which the renal organs and gut have been dramatically reorganised. Parts of the renal or Malpighian tubules (MpTs) form a close

Fleas (Siphonaptera) are Cretaceous, and Evolved with Theria [PDF]
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2015 Fleas (order Siphonaptera) are highly-specialized, diverse blood-feeding ectoparasites of mammals and birds with an enigmatic evolutionary history and obscure origin. We here present a molecular phylogenetic study based on a comprehensive taxon sampling of 259 flea taxa, representing 16 of the 18 extant families of this order.

Barcode 100K Specimens: In a Single Nanopore Run
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT It is a global priority to better manage the biosphere, but action must be informed by comprehensive data on the abundance and distribution of species. The acquisition of such information is currently constrained by high costs. DNA barcoding can speed the registration of unknown animal species, the most diverse kingdom of eukaryotes, as the ...
