New Record of Cruentomycena viscidocruenta (Cleland) R.H. Petersen and Kovalenko (Mycenaceae, Agaricomycetes) from Sabah (Northern Borneo), Malaysia

Abstract Multiple Cruentomycena individuals were collected from lowland dipterocarp forests in Sabah, northern Borneo, specifically within the pristine tropical forests of the Danum Valley Conservation Area and the Maliau Basin Conservation Area. To date, only four species have b...

Effects of Individual Versus Group Rearing on Life‐History Traits and Demographic Parameters of Scolothrips longicornis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

ABSTRACT Scolothrips longicornis is a specialized predator of the two‐spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae , and represents a promising agent for biological control programs. Despite its importance, the effects of group rearing on its life‐history traits and population growth...

Two idolothripine genera, Bactrothrips and Megalothrips (Thysanoptera, Phlaeothripidae), from Asia between India and Taiwan, with descriptions of two new species

Two idolothripine genera, Bactrothrips and Megalothrips, from Asia between India and Taiwan are studied taxonomically. Ten species of Bactrothrips and four species of Megalothrips are recognized from this area. Among them two species are newly described and one species is recalle...

Mito-nuclear discordance in a genus of darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Dailognatha ) reveals both incomplete lineage sorting and introgression driven by complex island paleogeography

Abstract Phylogenetic studies of insular radiations have traditionally relied on mitochondrial DNA, yet the increasing availability of genomic datasets has revealed numerous cases of phylogenetic discordance between mitochondrial and nuclear markers across animal taxa. The presen...
