Principles of Carbon Isotope Tracing and Its Applications in Energy Geology and Carbon Cycling: Progress, Challenges, and Prospects

Over the past several decades, the conceptual basis for carbon isotope tracing has steadily matured. The method’s high specificity and sensitivity have established it as a robust, widely adopted tool across soil, vegetation, ecology, and environmental research. This paper surveys...

Wolbachia infection and its relationship with mtDNA diversity in Hesperiinae (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae)

Abstract Wolbachia, a widespread facultative endosymbiont in arthropods, not only manipulates host reproduction but also influences the genetic diversity of mitochondrial DNA through maternal inheritance. Despite being extensively reported across various insect taxa, Wolbachia in...
