is the most complex genus of Orbiliaceae nematode-trapping fungi. Its members are widely distributed in various habitats worldwide due to their unique survival strategies. During a survey nematophagous fungi Yunnan Province, China, twelve taxa were isolated from terrestrial soil and freshwater sediment identified as six new species
Nematode-trapping fungi are a highly specialised group in and essential regulators of natural nematode populations. At present, more than 130 species have been discovered Zygomycota (Zoopagaceae), Basidiomycota (Nematoctonus), Ascomycota (Orbiliaceae). Amongst them, nematode-trapping Orbiliaceae become the research focus carnivorous due to their abundant species. During investigation Yunnan, China, four fungal strains isolated from burned forest soil were identified as two new Drechslerella...
The diversity of nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) holds significant theoretical and practical implications in the study adaptive evolution bio-control harmful nematodes. However, compared to terrestrial ecosystems, research on aquatic NTF is still its early stages. During a survey six watersheds Yunnan Province, China, we isolated 10 taxa from freshwater sediment. Subsequent identification based morphological multigene (ITS, TEF1-α, RPB2) phylogenetic analyses inferred they belong five new...
In the study of Species–Area Relationships (SARs) in microorganisms, outcome discrepancies primarily stem from divergent high-throughput sequencing data processing algorithms and their combinations with different fitting models. This paper investigates impacts underlying causes using diverse sequence microbial SAR studies, as well compatibility issues that arise between The findings indicate balancing strategies employed by can result variations calculations alpha beta diversity, thereby...
To investigate the repellent efficacy of commercially available mosquito repellents in China against H. longicornis, four representative DEET-based and biont-derived were selected. The study utilized a modified circular filter paper method testing device to establish an evaluation system for assessing effects each product three developmental stages longicornis: larvae, nymphs, adults. In our study, repellents, Johnson demonstrated highest repellency larvae within 1 hour, with average rate...

Nematode-trapping fungi are widely studied due to their unique morphological structure, survival strategy, and potential value in the biological control of harmful nematodes. During identification carnivorous preserved our laboratory, five novel nematode-trapping were established placed genera Arthrobotrys Drehslerella based on multigene (ITS, TEF, RPB2) phylogenetic analyses.

Researchers frequently discuss spatial distribution patterns of species diversity and biomass together with their correlations along geographical gradients. Typical subalpine meadows occur widely on the east Loess Plateau, China; here, we selected nine mountains belonging to four mountain systems from north south plateau. We analyzed five latitudinal longitudinal gradients six elevational study (including α, β, γ diversity) plus relationships at various scales. Results showed that (1) for...
Dispersal is one of the key processes determining biodiversity. The passive sampling hypothesis, which emphasizes dispersal processes, suggests that larger habitats receive more species from pool as main mechanism leading to in than smaller (i.e., species-area relationships). However, specific mechanisms by dispersion shapes biodiversity still need be discovered due difficulties quantifying and influence multiple factors. Solving above problem with a designed experiment necessary test...
Abstract Five halophilic archaeal strains, XH8T, CK5-1T, GDY1T, HW8-1T, and XH21T, were isolated from commercial coarse salt produced in different regions of China. Their 16S rRNA rpoB′ gene sequences indicated that four the strains (CK5-1T, XH21T) represent distinct species within genus Haloplanus (family Haloferacaceae), while strain XH8T represents a novel same family. These assignments supported by phylogenetic phylogenomic analyses, which showed XH21T cluster with current Haloplanus,...
The evolution of carnivorous fungi in deep time is still poorly understood as their fossil record scarce. approximately 100-million-year-old Cretaceous Palaeoanellus dimorphus the earliest ever discovered. However, its accuracy and ancestral position has been widely questioned because no similar species have found modern ecosystems. During a survey Yunnan, China, two fungal isolates strongly morphologically resembling P. were discovered identified new Arthrobotrys (Orbiliaceae,...
Abstract Background Understanding the patterns of species richness across elevational gradients is a key concept for contemporary research in ecology and evolution, critical to understanding large-scale trends biodiversity, global change conservation. However, between taxonomic groups, regions latitudes are inconsistent, so that various, sometimes conflicting hypotheses exist. Several scholars have pointed out on distribution often biased by sampling design employed. To test this hypothesis,...
During the investigation of nematode-trapping fungi in Yunnan Province, four strains were isolated from soil collected Nujiang City, China and identified as two new Arthrobotrys (Orbiliaceae) species based on morphology multigene (ITS, EF1-α, RPB2) phylogenetic analysis. gongshanensis is characterized by conidiophores producing 1–5 short denticles near apex, bearing a single conidium each denticle obovoid to fusiform, 1–4-septate conidia. luzhangensis characteristics its macroconidia,...
An Arthrobotrys species with adhesive nets (trapping device) was isolated from hot-spring waterlogged soil during research on evolutionary patterns of nematode-trapping fungi in Yunnan Province, China. Morphological and phylogenetic analyses indicate this is a novel predatory Arthrobotrys, which we herein introduce as A. xiangyunensis. The new characterized by occasionally branched conidiophores, colorless, fusiform to oval or clavate conidia mostly have 1–5 septa measure 27–72(55.8) ×...
