Magnesium and its alloys have gained significant popularity due to their light weight and
their potential for use as bioresorbable materials. However, their application is limited in …

The use of mitochondrial markers for taxonomic identification and biodiversity monitoring is
not without risks or limitations. Most importantly, the natural transfer of DNA from the …

Abstract Background Soft scales (Hemiptera: Coccidae), including important agricultural and
forestry pests, are difficult to identify directly by morphological characters. Mitochondrial …

Mitochondrial genome provides useful information about species concerning its evolution
and phylogenetics. We have taken the advantage of high throughput next-generation …

Here we present and justify an approach for minimal-destructive DNA extraction from historic
insect specimens for next generation sequencing applications. An increasing number of …

Synergy between Ca and other alloying elements such as Al and Zn can modify the
microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg alloys. In this work, we compared four …

Conopomorpha sinensis Bradley is a destructive pest that causes severe economic damage
to litchi and longan. Previous C. sinensis research has focused on population life tables …

Thrips parvispinus is a serious sucking pest on a number of economically important crops in
the oriental region. It has gained importance recently for its drastic range extension …

This study offers a new approach to attain recrystallized textures with rare-earth (RE) texture
components through post-annealing of accumulative back extruded microstructures. It was …

Simple Summary The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) recently has been extensively
used in evolutionary analyses. The superfamily Certhioidea is a highly diverse group within …
