Home » Latest Articles While walking through the yard on a crisp autumn afternoon, you might notice a fallen leaf that looks a little different from the others. Instead of the usual broad, colorful surface, there’s almost nothing left but a…
Genomic analysis shows that two varieties of the forest herb Aspidistra daibuensis are not each other's closest relatives, prompting a taxonomic split and revealing extensive incomplete lineage sorting. Subject of Research: Phylogenomics and taxonomy of the endemic Taiwanese Aspidistra species…
A laboratory study found the Indianmeal moth supports complete development of the parasitoid wasp Meteorus pulchricornis with production metrics comparable to its natural host. Subject of Research: Evaluating the Indianmeal moth as an alternative host for laboratory mass rearing of…
A study of 113 woody species in the Qinling Mountains shows that mycorrhizal type and life form independently shape plant resource-use strategies.
For the study, adult flies were collected from organic waste-rich agricultural environments in Jeddah and reared under controlled laboratory conditions. Adult and larval morphology was documented using stereomicroscopy, based on established diagnostic characters. DNA was extracted from larvae, and partial…
Complete chloroplast genomes have been promoted as a way to settle stubborn taxonomic puzzles in plants, but a new study of the pasqueflower Pulsatilla patens shows that the more thoroughly researchers look, the less useful the chloroplast becomes as a…
An international research consortium with the participation of a research team led by Professor Cornelis Grimmelikhuijzen from the Department of Biology, has sequenced the genome from the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Tribolium is the first beetle and the first…
When raising rhinoceros beetle larvae, various questions often arise. Which larval substrate should I choose? When should I change the substrate? What should I do if the larvae come up to the surface of the substrate? What is important for…
