The detection of three sp. infective larvae in two specimens of the dung beetle (Marsham, 1802) from western Spain is reported here for the first time in Europe. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed that the analyzed specimens belong to the genus , but it was not possible to determine the species identity by the lack of morphological information in the literature and because many of the phenotypic characteristics had not yet fully developed at this juvenile stage. Nevertheless, a phylogenetic analysis using amplified nucleotide sequences has revealed that the studied larvae could be clearly discriminated (< 89% identity) from all the other sequences available in public genetic databases. While our results are limited by the scarcity of genetic information available for this genus, the possibility that the analyzed specimens might correspond to a new species should not be ruled out, and more studies are needed. The results provided in this report indicate that is involved in the transmission cycle of sp. to vertebrates in Europe.

The reduced cost of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has allowed researchers to generate nuclear and mitochondrial genome data to gain deeper insights into the phylogeography, evolutionary history and biology of non-model species. While the Cape buffalo () has been well-studied across its range with traditional genetic markers over the last 25 years, researchers are building on this knowledge by generating whole genome, population-level data sets to improve understanding of the genetic composition and evolutionary history of the species. Using publicly available NGS data, we assembled 40 Cape buffalo mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) from four protected areas in South Africa, expanding the geographical range and almost doubling the number of mitogenomes available for this species.

Background: Legless lizards, the slow worms of the genus are forming secondary contact zones within their Europe-wide distribution.
Methods: We examined 35 populations of and to identify the level of morphological and genetic divergence in Poland. We applied a conventional study approach using metric, meristic, and categorial (coloration) features for a phenotype analysis, and two standard molecular markers, a mitochondrial (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 2; ) and a nuclear (V(D)J recombination-activating protein 1; ) one.

The Ralstonia solanacearum Species Complex (RSSC) is the most significant plant pathogen group with a wide host range. It is genetically related but displays distinct biological features, such as restrictive geography occurrence. The RSSC comprises three species: Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum (phylotype I and III), Ralstonia solanacearum (phylotype IIA and IIB), and Ralstonia syzygii (phylotype IV) (Fegan and Prior 2005).
