INTEGRATED EVIDENCE REVEALS A NEW SUBSPECIES OF THE GENUS SEURATASCARIS (NEMATODA: ASCARIDOMORPHA), WITH CHARACTERIZATION OF THE COMPLETE MITOCHONDRIAL GENOME

Species of Seuratascaris Sprent, 1985 are a rarely reported group of ascaridoid nematodes, parasitising various frogs and toads.In the present study, a new subspecies of Seuratascaris, S.physalis bazhaiensis n.subsp.was described using integrated taxonomic methods, based on specimens collected Harnesses from Odorrana graminea (Anura: Ranidae) in Gu

Naturally durable wood pre-dates preservative-treated wood and has been demonstrated to offer a suitable service life for certain applications where preservative-treated wood is not feasible.Heartwood extractives have been demonstrated to impart bio-deteriorative resistance to naturally durable wood species.These extractives are typically found in

As we step into 2023, the landscape of translational medicine continues to evolve, revealing the profound importance of preclinical imaging in bridging the gap between laboratory discoveries and clinical applications.Preclinical imaging allows researchers to visualize biological processes in real time, providing invaluable insights into the efficac

Microbial communities (microbiomes) are associated with almost all metazoans, including the honey bee Apis mellifera.Honey bees are social insects, maintaining complex foot leveling hive systems composed of a variety of integral components including bees, comb, propolis, honey, and stored pollen.Given that the different components within hives can
