A new genus and a new species of pygmy mole cricket i.e. Paraxya gen nov. and Paraxya hui sp. nov. are described from Burma Cretaceous amber in this paper. The new genus is allied to Xya Latreille. 1809, but differs from latter by lacking swimming plates at metatibia [Latreille. 1809; Yin et al, 1996; Cao et al, 2017, Cao et al, 2018 and Zhang et al, 2018]. The new genus is also allied to Burmadactylus Heads, 2009, but differs from latter by metatarsus absent and hindwing present, surpassing the end of abdomen distinctly [Heads, 2009]. Type specimen is deposited in the College of Life Science, Leshan Normal University, Leshan 614004, China.

Improving lignocellulose degradation and organic matter conversion in agricultural and livestock wastes remains a great challenge. Here, the contribution of humic acid (HA) to lignocellulose degradation was investigated, focusing on the abundance of key microbial species and carbohydrate-active enzymes during aerobic composting. The results demonstrated that the addition of HA not only increased the complexity of the microbial network, but also enhanced the positive interaction between microorganism.

The intestinal microbiota plays a crucial role in the health and development of fish, engaging in intricate interactions with the host organism. As a significant species in aquaculture, Lateolabrax japonicus serves as an exemplary model for investigating these interactions and their subsequent effects on growth and health. This study utilized a multi-omics approach, incorporating metagenomic sequencing and non-targeted metabolomics, to delineate the gut microbiota and metabolome of L.

The tick fauna of El Salvador is currently represented by 10 species of hard ticks (family Ixodidae) and 2 species of soft ticks (family Argasidae). This study aimed to report new and additional records of ticks and rickettsiae in El Salvador. During 2019-2021, a total of 216 specimens of ticks were collected from eight host species (domestic and wild animals) and in the environment among 15 geographic localities of El Salvador.
