Vietnam is a global hotspot, hosting 493 Odonata species, with ~95% evaluated by the IUCN. Odonata species play vital ecological roles in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems; yet, they face escalating threats from climate change, habitat …
Read PDF<i>Epipogium roseum</i>, commonly known as one of the ghost orchids due to its rarity and almost transparent color, is a non-photosynthetic and fully mycoheterotrophic plant. Given its special nutritional strategies and evolutionary significance, the mitogenome …
Read PDFGossypium hirsutum is the world's most important source of cotton fibre, yet the diversity and population structure of its wild forms remain largely unexplored. The complex domestication history of G. hirsutum combined with reciprocal introgression …
Read PDFWe present the complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Carausius morosus</i> from Salinas, CA. The mitochondrial genome of <i>C. morosus</i> is circular, AT rich (78.1%), and 16,671 bp in length. It consists of 13 protein-coding, 22 transfer …
Read PDFUnderstanding the functions of mitochondrial genomes is crucial for studies related to the evolution of genomes, phylogenomics, and species identification. For the first time, complete mitogenome of <i>Potamalpheops sp.</i> a non-snapping shrimp has been successfully …
Read PDFLynx spiders (Oxyopidae Thorell, 1869) have high diversity and widespread distribution (nine genera and 447 species currently described worldwide). They are important predators of many arthropod pests in agriculture and forestry. Although the taxonomy of …
Read PDF<h4>Introduction</h4><i>Escherichia albertii</i> is an emerging food-borne pathogen with zoonotic potential which is often under-reported due to misidentifications.<h4>Materials and methods</h4>The current study identified <i>E. albertii</i> from retail fish sold in market which was confirmed by phenotypic …
Read PDFAs a group of winged insects (Pterygota) retaining many primitive characteristics, genomic research on mayflies remains highly limited, posing challenges to the study of their origin and evolution. In this study, we present the first …
Read PDF<b>Background:</b> Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (LA-MRSA) ST398 poses a significant zoonotic threat, largely due to its capacity to acquire and disseminate antimicrobial resistance through mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Ready-to-eat (RTE) foods may serve as critical …
Read PDF<b>Background/Objectives</b>: This study assessed the risk associated with third-generation cephalosporin- and fluoroquinolone-resistant <i>Salmonella</i> from pork consumption by integrating phenotypic resistance profiles with genetic data to characterize the risks and transmission pathways. <b>Methods</b>: <i>Salmonella</i> were isolated …
Read PDFThe increasing frequency of extreme weather events affects ecosystems and threatens food production. The reduction of chemical pesticides, together with other ecological approaches, is crucial to more sustainable agriculture. Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN), especially root-knot nematodes …
Read PDF<h4>Introduction</h4>Non-<i>baumannii Acinetobacter</i> species are increasingly isolated in the clinical setting and the environment. The aim of the present study was to analyze a genome database of 837 <i>Acinetobacter</i> spp. isolates, which included 798 non-<i>baumannii Acinetobacter</i> …
Read PDFWild rodents remain underrepresented in papillomavirus genomics, limiting current understanding of host range, tissue tropism, and evolutionary diversity. Here, we report the first papillomavirus identified in the spotted lowland paca, Cuniculus paca, from the Brazilian …
Read PDFPhylogenomic data provide valuable opportunities for studying evolutionary rates and timescales. These analyses require theoretical and statistical tools based on molecular clocks. We present ClockstaRX, a flexible platform for exploring and testing evolutionary rate signals …
Read PDF<h4>Introduction</h4>Phylogenomics have been widely used to resolve ambiguous and controversial evolutionary relationships among plant species and genera, and the identification of unique indels in plastomes may even help to understand the evolution of some plant …
Read PDFMountains have highly heterogeneous environments that generate ample opportunities for lineage differentiation through ecological adaptation, geographic isolation and secondary contact. The geographic and ecological isolation of the afroalpine vegetation fragments on the East African mountain …
Read PDFA rarely reported new species of Mimallonidae from Florida, USA, is described. Remarkably, the distinctive new species has not been seen across much of its historical range since the 1960s, and all records come from …
Read PDFEmerging fungal pathogens are a global challenge for humankind. Many efforts have been made to understand the mechanisms underlying pathogenicity in bacteria, and OMICs techniques are largely responsible for those advancements. By contrast, our limited …
Read PDF<h4>Introduction</h4>The taxonomy of species within the genus <i>Haemophilus</i>, within the family <i>Pasteurellaceae</i>, shows extensive polyphyly, causing long-standing taxonomic ambiguities that complicate clinical, epidemiological and evolutionary research. Traditional classifications based on phenotypes and comparative 16S rRNA …
Read PDFThe Hepatincolaceae (Alphaproteobacteria) are a group of bacteria that inhabit the gut of arthropods and other ecdysozoans, associating extracellularly with microvilli. Previous phylogenetic studies, primarily single-gene analyses, suggested their relationship to the Holosporales, which includes …
