Abstract:
... The Seto Inland Sea, the largest inland sea in Japan, is a rich fishery with high biodiversity and productivity. Monogeneans have been studied for more than 120 years, and 58 nominal species have been recorded in the Seto inland Sea. This study provided DNA information on five species of Benedenia sensu lato (Capsalidae) from marine fishes from the sea, and one of them, Benedenia kobudai n. sp., i ...

Abstract:
... Ant nest beetles (Carabidae, Paussinae, Paussini; Paussus) are renowned myrmecophiles, mostly known for their bizarre and diverse antennal shape. While little is known about their development, behavior and host range, we do know they spend most of their lives inside ant nests, feeding upon the hemolymph of ant brood and teneral workers. Recent findings suggest these beetles use a surprisingly comp ...

Abstract:
... Whitefly-transmitted begomoviruses are among the major threats to the cultivation of Capsicum spp. (Family: Solanaceae) worldwide. Capsicum-infecting begomoviruses (CIBs) have a broad host range and are commonly found in mixed infections, which, in turn, fuels the emergence of better-adapted species through intraspecies and interspecies recombination. Virus-encoded proteins hijack host factors to ...

Many Chrysobothris spp., including Chrysobothris femorata, are polyphagous herbivores. Their wide host range leads to the destruction of numerous tree species in nurseries and orchards. Although problems caused by Chrysobothris are well known, ther ...

The studies concerning the composition of viral communities in sponges have appeared rather recently, and the diversity and role of viruses in sponge holobionts remain largely undisclosed. In this study, we assessed the diversity of DNA viruses in the ...

Abstract:
... Brood parasites (also known as cleptoparasites) represent a substantial fraction of global bee diversity. Rather than constructing their own nests, these species instead invade those of host bees to lay their eggs. Larvae then hatch and consume the food provisions intended for the host’s offspring. While this life history strategy has evolved numerous times across the phylogeny of bees, the oldest ...

Abstract:
... Understanding the underlying mechanisms for pathogen spillover is a main quest in epidemiology. Given the complexity of multi-host systems, several factors may play a relative role in spillover dynamics. A relatively less studied factor is the internal dynamics of pathogens that result from inter-strain competition. The competitive interactions among strains can cause deterministic changes in the ...
