Bivalves are nowadays represented by several thousand species of variable sizes and shapes. Additionally, thousands more species occurred during their 500-million-year long evolution. Present on Earth since the Cambrian, the class Bivalvia experience...

In this study, the association between Neosilba batesi (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) and avocado fruits (Persea americana L.) was investigated. Fruits showing signs of rot and infested with Diptera larvae were collected from commercial orchards in the state...

The authors would like to make the following corrections to their earlier publication [...]

Previous phylogeographic study of the root vole (Alexandromys oeconomus) revealed four mitochondrial cytochrome b lineages—North and Central European, North (=Central) Asian and Beringian. Three of them were studied in detail, while the North A...

Due to the potential role of Auchenorrhyncha in the transmission of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa in a wide variety of cultivations, during recent years in Europe, many studies have focused on species composition, abundance and seasonal appearance...

Madagascar harbors a rich marine biodiversity, yet detailed knowledge of its fish species remains limited. Of the 1689 species listed in 2018, only 22% had accessible cytochrome oxidase I (COI) sequences in public databases. In response to growing pr...

This paper assesses the complexity and diversity of vegetation in grassy strips with spontaneous plants between tree rows in three fruit orchards (plum, cherry, apple) in Dolj County, Romania, using structural and biodiversity indices. It addresses t...

Remote reefs offer insights into natural coral dynamics, influenced by regional environmental factors and climate change fluctuations. Clipperton Atoll is the eastern tropical Pacific’s most isolated reef, where coral reef growth and life strat...

Accurate estimation of aboveground biomass (AGB) in tree–shrub communities is critical for quantifying forest ecosystem productivity and carbon sequestration potential. Although generalized allometric equations offer expediency in natural fores...

Specialized research on large trees in Northeast China is rare. To strengthen the understanding of local large trees, a survey of 4055 tree individuals from 75 plots in southeastern Jilin Province was conducted. The individual number and species comp...
