New genera and species of feather mites of the family Gabuciniidae (Astigmata: Pterolichoidea) from New World raptors (Aves: Falconiformes)
Download2007
Zimmerman, G., Proctor, H. C., Barreto, M., Mironov, S. V.
Abstract: We describe four new species of feather mites of the family Gabuciniidae collected from Accipitridae and Falconidae (Falconiformes) from South and North America. Three of these belong to new genera, Metagabucinia gen. nov. with one new species and Proaposolenidia gen. nov. with two new...

We present theory and numerical simulations of strong nonlinear effects in standing shear Alfven waves (SAWs) in the Earth's magnetosphere, which is modeled as a finite size box with straight magnetic lines and (partially) reflecting boundaries. In a low beta plasma it is shown that the...

Peroxisomes are organelles responsible for processing lipids and managing reactive oxygen species. A conserved family of genes called peroxisome biogenesis factors (Peroxin, Pex) encode proteins necessary for peroxisome biogenesis and function. In yeast and mammals, PEROXIN7 (PEX7) acts as a...

With well over 3,400 described species, snakes undoubtedly represent one of the most successful groups of reptiles. Much has been written about their ecology, behavior, anatomy, relationships and evolution. However, despite the debate about the origin of this taxonomic group dating back to the...

A full understanding of the evolution of novel forms requires inference about their origins through the study of variation in extant taxa and clues from the fossil record. However, the origins of morphological diversity in many groups are obscured by the scarcity of transitional fossils or...

Organelles serve to compartmentalize biochemical functions within the eukaryotic cell. However, to collectively maintain cellular homeostasis, organelles must communicate in some way in order to coordinate these functions. Two such organelles,the peroxisome and the lipid droplet, are both...

Phylogenetic framework for Dioryctria (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae: Phycitinae) based on combined analysis of mitochondrial DNA and morphology
Download2005
Sperling, F. A. H., Du, Y., Roe, A. D.
Coneworms of the genus Dioryctria Zeller are important lepidopterous pests of conifer cones throughout the Holarctic region. Seventy-nine Dioryctria species are currently recognized and arranged into 11 species groups, but a globally unified classification of these species groups has not been...

The phylogenetic relationships of the destructive spruce budworm group of forest pests (Choristoneura fumiferana species complex) have previously been explored using allozymes, microsatellites, mitochondrial genes and a nuclear gene, but remain poorly resolved with conflicting topologies. I used...
