Polyporus accommodates species with stipitate basidiocarps, a dimitic hyphal system with skeleto-binding hyphae, and hyaline, thin-walled, more or less cylindrical basidiospores. The species of Polyporus are divided into...

The genus Homo has a moderately high degree of morphological diversity, with about fifteen species proposed. It is debatable whether there could have been several species of Homo coexisting and sharing similar ecological...

The molecular phylogeny and morphological–anatomical characteristics of the terrestrial snail genus Landouria Godwin-Austen, 1918 from Thailand are investigated, and we describe two new species. Phylogenetic analysis o...

This paper is a contribution to the current knowledge of taxonomy, ecology and distribution of South American Cortinarius (Pers.) Gray. Cortinarius is among the most widely distributed and species-rich basidiomycete gene...

The armoured harvestman family Triaenonychidae (Opiliones: Laniatores) has a predominantly temperate Gondwanan distribution, with representatives in southern South America, South Africa, Madagascar, Australia, New Zealan...

ABSTRACT Fish are considered one of the important sources of protein which are invaded by different parasites. This study aimed to shed light on monogenean parasites that infect fish within the family Sparidae in Saudi A...

The diversity of Sarcocystis spp. infecting Alaskan marine mammals is largely unknown, which is relevant in a region of the world where hunting and consumption of marine mammals is essential to Alaskan native food securi...

The South American Ctenomys is the most speciose genus among both hystricomorphs and subterranean rodents of the world. Here, we present the most exhaustive phylogenies and timetree of living and extinct Ctenomys attempt...

When doing a bootstrap analysis with a single tree saved per pseudoreplicate, biased search algorithms may influence support values more than actual properties of the data set. Two methods commonly used for finding phylo...

Abstract Background Comparative studies of mitochondrial genomes can assist in determining evolutionary and phylogenetic relationships. In the Ceratocystidaceae fungal family, mitochondrial genomes from only two genera a...

Although only a few species of Tuber account for the major truffle sales volume, many species that are not considered delicacies are finding their way to the market, especially in regions where the traditionally apprecia...

In poorly known groups for which data are insufficient to develop biologically plausible model-based approaches to phylogeographical analyses, a ‘first hypotheses’ protocol is suggested as offering the best way to ge...

Abstract The study of the diversity of tick-borne agents in wild animals enables a better understanding of the distribution of pathogens in the country, the identification of potential reservoirs for these agents, the ma...

Abstract Background Genetic analysis of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has become essential for breed characterization, population genetics, and taxonomic studies in livestock. Genetic variations in mitochondrial ...

Environmental surveillance is an effective approach to investigate the circulation of human enteroviruses in the population. Enteroviruses E14, CVA9, E-6, E16, E20, E25, E13, and CVA24 were detected in sewage and a water...

Rotavirus A (RVA) possesses a genome of 11 double-stranded (ds) RNA segments, and each segment encodes one protein, with the exception of segment 11. NSP4 is a non-structural multifunctional protein encoded by segment 10...

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important pathogen of ruminants worldwide and is characterized by high genetic diversity and a wide range of clinical presentations. In Argentina, several studies have evaluated t...

Ceratium furcoides is an invasive freshwater dinoflagellate that in the last three decades has expanded its geographic distribution in South America, being recently found in Paraná River floodplain (Argentina). Despite ...

Pomacea canaliculata is a highly successful invasive snail that shapes freshwater communities in both native and invaded habitats. We studied its digenean parasites from three freshwater bodies in its native distribution...

The larvae of the Australian endemic species Megaporus gardnerii (Clark, 1862) and M. hamatus (Clark, 1862) are described and illustrated for the first time, with detailed morphometric and chaetotaxic analyses of the cep...

Abstract Freshwater adaptation from marine ancestors represents a major ecological transition in teleost evolution, yet its genomic basis remains poorly understood. The genus Brachirus is predominantly marine, although a...

Abstract Tick-borne pathogens pose significant threats to wildlife health and may serve as sources of zoonotic infections. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of Anaplasma spp., particularly Anaplasma ovis, in...

Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum Romer, 1972a, the only species in its genus, is a small basal suchian, recovered from the Middle?Late Triassic Chañares Formation (La Rioja, Argentina). This species has been interpreted as ...

Abstract The myxozoan Henneguya friderici is a parasite of the gills, intestine, kidney and liver of Leporinus friderici, a characiform fish belonging to the family Anostomidae. Forty-two specimens of L. friderici that h...
