Human-mediated dispersal of Geniotrigona thoracica (Apidae: Meliponini) colonies promotes high genetic diversity and reduces population structuring in managed populations [PDF]
The stingless bee Geniotrigona thoracica is a key managed pollinator in Southeast Asia, valued for its honey, propolis, and colony trade. In Thailand, frequent human-mediated movement of colonies raises concerns about its effects on genetic diversity and

Analysis of the Mitogenomes of Two Helotid Species Provides New Insights into the Phylogenetic Relationship of the Basal Cucujoidea (Insecta: Coleoptera) [PDF]
Helotid beetles are commonly found in places where sap flows from tree trunks and in crevices in bark. The Helotidae family is a rare and primitive group of Cucujoidea. To date, no complete mitochondrial (mt) genome has been sequenced for this family. To

A Study on the Morphometric, Macroanatomical Structure, and Arterial Vascularisation of the Upper Digestive System in Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus, Linnaeus 1758) [PDF]
The average diastema length in the upper jaw was measured as 29.79 mm, while it was measured as 24.23 mm in the lower jaw. The average linguae length in New Zealand rabbits was measured as 52.39 ± 1.75 mm. The parotid gland was determined the largest length (28.4 mm), width (57.245 mm), and weight (44.58 g). Total oesophagus length was determined as 15.
