Ramirez, Paulino (2018-12-20)Viruses are in a unique position to affect the ecology of many organisms, due to their sheer numbers and diversity. Although traditionally considered pathogens, viruses can engage in more complex and mutualistic associations ...
-
Wang, Yunyang (2021-08-27)The freshwater livebearing fish genus Poeciliopsis has served as a study system for the evolution of sex, due to the presence of asexually reproducing (gynogenetic and hybridogenetic) biotypes that originated through ...

Hurtado, Luis A.; Lee, Eun J.; Mateos, Mariana; Taiti, Stefano; Cordaux, Richard (PloS One, 2014)
-
Antwi, Josephine Bema (2015-08-10)Geographic isolation plays a major role in population divergence, but host-plants can also generate selective forces that drive genetic differentiation. Host-plant associations of insects can also be mediated by their ...
-
Xie, Jialei (2013-08-27)Maternally-transmitted associations between endosymbiotic bacteria and insects are diverse and widespread in nature. To counter loss by imperfect vertical transmission, many heritable microbes have evolved compensational ...
-
Silva, Pinnaduwage O (2013-12-02)Maternally inherited endosymbionts are ubiquitous among insects and are known to influence the ecology and evolution of a host species. As such, burgeoning evidence exemplifies their effect on host biology through ...

Mateos, Mariana; Hurtado, Luis A.; Santamaria, Carlos A.; Leignel, Vincent; Guinot, Danièle; Goldstien, Sharyn Jane (PloS One, 2012)

Pires Machado, Renato Jose (2017-04-27)The family Myrmeleontidae, or antlions, is considered today as the largest family of the order Neuroptera. This cosmopolitan group comprises more than 1600 valid species and nearly 200 genera. The taxonomy of the family ...

Wang, Chang (2016-08-18)The supralittoral isopod Ligia exotica Roux, 1828 is an invasive species with a tropical and temperate cosmopolitan distribution, frequently found in harbors and ports. In the New World, this isopod has a broad distribution ...
-
Pease, Allison Ann (2011-02-22)The distribution and abundance of stream fishes are influenced by many factors operating at multiple scales. Understanding how environmental variables influence the structure of stream fish assemblages is important for ...
-
Yaryan, Negar (2022-01-07)Cryptic diversity is the occurrence of two or more morphologically indistinguishable lineages within a species that are evolutionarily distinct. Tropical rainforests and marine habitats are the most species-rich habitat ...
-
Hjelmen, Carl Ernest (2017-07-03)Genome size varies widely across organisms with no tie to organismal complexity. While much of the variation in genome size can be attributed to accumulation of nongenic DNA, the patterns and mechanisms involved are not ...
-
Liu, Shuang (2013-04-12)Cryptic species complexes are common in many marine groups. Recent phylogeographic studies in the megadiverse Gulf of California basin have found high levels of cryptic allopatric genetic differentiation in supralittoral ...
-
Lee, Eun Jung 1974- (2012-08-17)Isopods in the genus Tylos are distributed in tropical and subtropical sandy intertidal beaches throughout the world. These isopods have biological characteristics that are expected to severely restrict their long-distance ...

Macedo, Danielle Carter De (2017-01-17)The blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, is an important species in estuarine habitats, serving as both predator and prey to other species, and plays a pivotal ecological and economic role throughout its range. In recent years, ...
-
Haltom, Amanda R (2012-07-11)Reproductive manipulation is commonly seen in insects infected by maternally inherited endosymbionts. These endosymbionts have adopted several strategies to manipulate their hosts in order to guarantee their transmission ...
-
Martinez Montoya, Humberto (2017-01-23)Intimate associations of maternally-inherited endosymbiotic bacteria and arthropods are ancient and taxonomically diverse. The nature of such relationships includes reproductive parasitism, as well as nutritional and ...

Xie, Jialei; Vilchez, Igor; Mateos, Mariana; Raine, Nigel E. (PloS One, 2010)

Shults, Phillip T (2021-07-27)Only a small species of Culicoides midges are pathogen vectors in both managed and natural systems, and as such, proper species delimitation is vital. Before this study, the C. variipennis species complex contained three ...
