Unravelling the genetic diversity and population structure of Sitophilus oryzae L. in North India using mitochondrial COI sequences

North Indian populations of S. oryzae exhibit low genetic diversity, which has implications for pest management strategies primarily involving the use of fumigants, and the phylogenetic tree supported the genetic homogeneity of the population.

Mitochondrial genetic diversity and population structure of Glyphoglossus guttulatus Blyth, 1856 (Anura: Microhylidae) across the Thai Lower Mekong Basin and adjacent northern drainage systems

The findings reveal pronounced mitochondrial population structure in G. guttulatus and suggest that geographic distance is more closely associated with population genetic differentiation than contemporary drainage-basin or major-river-system boundaries.

Investigation of the genetic diversity of pearl spot, Etroplus suratensis (Bloch, 1790), through DNA barcoding and phylogenetic analysis from two habitats

Etroplus suratensis (pearl spot) is a commercially important cichlid native to South and Southeast Asia, yet its genetic variation in habitats of Karnataka has not been previously studied. This study integrates morphological and molecular approaches to examine specimens from freshwater (n=65) and brackish water (n=60)...

Drivers of Andean diversity: Phylogeographic structure and the evolution of hemipenial and dewlap morphology in a Neotropical lizard (Squamata: Anolidae: Anolis mariarum)

Abstract Phenotypic traits and genetic variation are fundamental for understanding biological diversity and evolutionary processes. In natural populations, phenotypic novelties are generally expected to align with genetic differentiation, establishing phenotype–genotype relationships. This pattern is evident in...

Phylogeography of the endangered ant species Atta robusta Borgmeier, 1939 (Formicidae: Myrmicinae): insights into genetic structure, demographic history, and conservation priorities

The results indicate shallow genetic structure and incomplete spatial differentiation across the species range, highlighting the importance of preserving remnant restinga habitats and maintaining landscape connectivity to safeguard genetic diversity in A. robusta and other habitat-specialist ants.

Integrative assessment of genetic diversity and micromorphological traits in the widely distributed species Croton urucurana (Euphorbiaceae)

The results suggest that the genetic structure of C. urucurana is driven by two historical lineages, and Brazilian and Paraguayan populations are critical genetic reservoirs and should be prioritized for conservation.
