Nine new species of Aleiodes (Braconidae: Rogadinae) are described and illustrated: A. aclydis, albiterminus, arbitrium, atripileatus, capillosus, greeneyi, nebulosus, speciosus stilpnos. Because the difficulties in distinguishing Neotropical that belong to circumscriptus gastritor species-groups, a larger species-group combining two, termed circumscriptus/gastritor species-group, is created. The this study belonged seriatus, albitibia, gressitti, respectively. capillosus represents first...

A new species of braconid wasp, Andesipolis yanayacu, is described from the eastern Andes Ecuador. yanayacu was reared as a gregarious koinobiont parasitoid shelter building Pyralidae (Lepidoptera) larvae feeding on Urticaceae (Phenax rugosus and Boehmeria bullata). These are first biological observations for genus recorded This also northern-most record previously Chile. Based morphological attributes newly discovered biology, re-classified subfamily Mesostoinae into Rhysipolinae.

We review the biology and ecology of endemic New Zealand genus Alseuosmia A. Cunn. The taxonomy has a complicated history with considerable debate about both its relationship to other genera number species recognised within it. is now considered belong small Southern Hemisphere family Alseuosmiaceae. Five are currently accepted (A. macrophylla Cunn, turneri R. O. Gardner, pusilla Colenso, quercifolia Cunn banksii Cunn). However, extremely morphologically variable some forms that do not fit...

Urbanization is a leading cause of global biodiversity loss, but its impact on soil microorganisms and biogeochemistry remains uncertain. To address this gap, we investigate urban microbiome composition using metagenomic sequences from the Global Urban Soil Environment Ecology Network (GLUSEEN). We seek to reveal (1) changes in taxonomic functional potential (2) ubiquitous (core) taxa metabolisms across microbiome. hypothesize that diversity are correlated due unique selective pressures...

Abstract Alseuosmia (Alseuosmiaceae) is an endemic New Zealand genus of small trees and shrubs, which unusual in that some taxa appear to morphologically mimic unrelated species. The taxonomy the group has long been debated, with extreme morphological diversity A. banksii causing much confusion. Here we use ddRADseq examine genetic relationships between species genus, a particular focus on forms banksii. Our analyses revealed for northern part distribution, largely matched geography rather...

During the years between two wars a witty and provocative series of little books was issued bearing such titles as Cain, or future Crime, Gallio, tyranny science , similar phrases likely to excite curiosity prospective reader. Indeed, this present contribution might be adorned with some title ‘Ariadne Panepistemon, guides literature science’, class reference which there would seem need at present, may repay examination.
