Shedding light on dark taxa in sky‐island Appalachian leaf litter: Assessing patterns of endemicity using large‐scale, voucher‐based barcoding
MS Caterino, E Recuero - Insect Conservation and Diversity, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Developing systematic conservation plans depends on a wealth of information on a region's
biodiversity. For 'dark taxa'such as arthropods, such data are usually very incomplete and in …

Shared geographic histories and dispersal contribute to congruent phylogenies between amphipods and their microsporidian parasites at regional and global scales
In parasites that strongly rely on a host for dispersal, geographic barriers that act on the host
will simultaneously influence parasite distribution as well. If their association persists over …

Evolutionary rates are correlated between cockroach symbionts and mitochondrial genomes
DA Arab, T Bourguignon, Z Wang… - Biology …, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Bacterial endosymbionts evolve under strong host-driven selection. Factors influencing host
evolution might affect symbionts in similar ways, potentially leading to correlations between …

Cryptic diversity in the southern Appalachian Mountains: genetic data reveal that the red centipede, Scolopocryptops sexspinosus, is a species complex
RC Garrick, KE Newton, RJ Worthington - Journal of Insect Conservation, 2018 - Springer
Invertebrates can often persist in habitat patches too small to support larger, more mobile
taxa, and as such, they may be strong predictors of conservation priorities for vertebrates. In …

Ecological drivers of species distributions and niche overlap for three subterranean termite species in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, USA
C Hyseni, RC Garrick - Insects, 2019 - mdpi.com
In both managed and unmanaged forests, termites are functionally important members of the
dead-wood-associated (saproxylic) insect community. However, little is known about …
