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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

Abstract Rhynchostylis orchids are native to Thailand and have considerable commercial importance. However, species delimitation remains difficult because of overlapping morphology, environmental plasticity, short flower...

Over more than six decades of dedicated research, Chang Meemann’s career has spanned a critical era marked by a paradigm shift in vertebrate evolution studies. Beginning in the 1950s, inspired by the pioneering ichthyo...

Abstract Background Carbapenem-resistant Citrobacter freundii is increasingly reported and recognized as an opportunistic host of mobile carbapenemase-encoding elements in healthcare-associated settings. However, lineage...

Abstract Gymnodiptychus pachycheilus, a specialized schizothoracinae fish, exhibits remarkable morphological regression, such as near-complete scale loss, making it an important model for understanding the genomic basis ...

Abstract The nematode Ditylenchus destructor comprises multiple haplotypes with distinct host preferences, while the genetic basis remains unclear. We generate three genomes (Haplotypes A, B, and C) using hybrid assembly...

Abstract Infectious disease diagnostics has been transformed by metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS), an unbiased approach that detects bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in a single assay. By sequencing ...

Toxocara alienata infects racoons and wild pigs in South America and its taxonomy is important to distinguish thespecies from closely related zoonotic congeners, such as T. canis. This study provides the first genetic ch...

Abstract Background Hypogeous fungi play important ecological roles and have significant economic value. However, the hypogeous habit of these organisms hinders our understanding of their diversity and vulnerability. Res...

Abstract Bird wings exhibit a broad degree of functional and shape variation, though the exact nature of the form-function relationship is uncertain. Recent analysis suggests that functional variability is explained by l...

To clarify the taxonomic identities of newly-collected Selaginella specimens from Guizhou, south-western China, we briefly reviewed the Selaginella species recorded in Guizhou and conducted a study integrating morphologi...
