Article Synopsis
- Bamboo snout moths, significant pests of bamboo in tropical and subtropical areas, include four species that have lacked sufficient genetic data for effective identification and management.
- This study sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes of these species, revealing their consistent genetic structure with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and other elements, aiding in further classification.
- Phylogenetic analyses indicated that the moths clustered together based on their bamboo diet, suggesting a close evolutionary relationship with their host plants, which can inform better pest control strategies.
Understanding how plant functional traits respond to mining activities and impact metal(loid)s accumulation in dominant species is crucial for exploring the driving mechanisms behind plant community succession and predicting the ecological restoration potential of these plants. In this study, we investigated four dominant herbaceous species (, , , and ) growing on antimony (Sb) mining sites (MS) with high Sb and arsenic (As) levels, as well as non-mining sites (NMS). The aim was to analyze the variations in functional traits and their contribution to Sb and As concentrations in plants.

Despite the extensive use of traditional bioassessments based on species-environment relationships, the impact of dispersal processes on these assessments has been largely overlooked. This study aims to compare correlations between various bioassessment indices, including Shannon Weiner (H'), Biological Monitoring Working Party (BMWP), average score per taxon (ASPT), biotic index (BI), and EPT taxa index (EPT), based on macroinvertebrates collected from 147 sampling sites in a subtropical Chinese near-natural catchment.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes genetic diversity and population structure of 158 individuals from 13 natural populations in China using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), identifying over 459,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
- Genetic structure shows two distinct clusters of individuals, influenced primarily by geographic barriers, with evidence of gene introgression from coastal to inland areas, but high mountains limiting gene flow.
- The findings highlight that individual differences within each group are greater than differences between the two groups, enhancing understanding of genetic backgrounds for conservation and resource utilization.
