Phylogeographic link between Sicilian and Corso-Sardinian Testudo h. hermanni confirmed

open access: yesActa Herpetologica, 2009
Our study confirms that Sicilian and Corso-Sardinian Testudo h. hermanni share a certain mtDNA haplotype, while tortoises from peninsular Italy harbour slightly different haplotypes. When the fossil record is considered, this striking pattern agrees well

DNA Metabarcoding Reveals Tardigrades' Diversity and Dispersal Patterns in European Freshwater Rock Pools

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Freshwater rock pools are ephemeral and fragile habitats that support specialised animal taxa. While distributed worldwide, these habitats are usually neglected and overlooked. We used DNA metabarcoding and metaphylogeographic approaches to study inter and intraspecific tardigrade biodiversity to identify their biogeographic patterns to ...

Characterization and Antibody Preparation of the Gene Products of Grouper Iridovirus ORF5L

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Grouper iridovirus (GIV) is a large DNA virus belonging to the family Iridoviridae and genus Ranavirus. It consists of 139,793 base pairs (bp) and 120 open reading frames (ORFs). GIV is a key pathogen of farmed fish worldwide. The functional roles of viral genes must be determined for the early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of viral ...
