Abstract:
... Fruit flies are among the most common insect pests in the world. The presence of many cryptic species and numerous fruit fly species sharing the same niche cause considerable difficulty in species identification. This study investigates the species-specific wing morphology of two fruit fly species (Bactrocera dorsalis - BD and Zeugodacus cucurbitae - ZC) using a geometric morphometric tool. Both f ...

Abstract:
... Myxosporean species in the genus Cystodiscus are parasites of amphibians and have been reported from several continents. Typically used for the identification of myxozoans, the spores produced by these species are similar to one another, possessing 2 polar capsules and being ovoid. The number of transverse depressions on the spore can be useful for delineating species, but these can sometimes be d ...

Although recent years have seen an increase in genetic analyses that identify new species of cephalopods and phylogeographic patterns, the loliginid squid of South America remain one of the least studied groups. The suggestion that Doryteuthis plei may represent distinct lineages within its extensive distribution along the western Atlantic coasts from Cape Hatteras, USA (36°N) to northern Argentin ...

Abstract:
... Swamp eel (Monopterus albus) is an economically important freshwater fish which has the potential to sustainable development. This species is considered as one of the taxonomically problematic spesies due to its complex characters and similar morphology to Monopterus cuchia and Monopterus javanensis that often lead to taxonomic dilemmas. Taxonomic certainty is an essential basis information in sus ...

Abstract:
... Genetic analyses of Australasian organisms have resulted in the identification of extensive cryptic diversity across the continent. The venomous elapid snakes are among the best-studied organismal groups in this region, but many knowledge gaps persist: for instance, despite their iconic status, the species-level diversity among Australo-Papuan blacksnakes (Pseudechis) has remained poorly understoo ...

Abstract:
... Oligonychus perseae Tuttle, Baker & Abbatiello (Acari: Tetranychidae) is an economically important foliar pest of avocados from Mexico. Invasive O. perseae populations became established throughout the commercial avocado system in California (USA) during the early 1990s, but the putative geographic origin(s) of the California O. perseae populations has not been investigated. To address this shortc ...

The epilithic bromeliad Encholirium spectabile is a dominant species on inselbergs in the Caatinga of northeastern Brazil. We conducted a population genetic analysis to test whether the substantial phenotypic diversity of E. spectabile could be explained by limited gene flow ...

Seven different jaguars (six males and one fem ...

The reason for this can be explained in part by their cryptic nature and difficulty in identifying genets. In addition the difficulty (relative to plants and animals) in developing molecular markers for fungal population genetics contributes to the lack of research in this are ...
