DOI: 10.1111/mec.16011
Abstract: A large number of genetic variation studies have identified cases of mitochondrial genome introgression in animals, indicating that reproductive barriers among closely related species are often permeable. Because of its sheer size, the impact of… read more here.

Successional and seasonal changes of leaf beetles and their indicator value in a fragmented low thorn forest of northeastern Mexico (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "ZooKeys"
DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.825.30455
Abstract: Abstract Leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae: Coleoptera) constitute a highly diverse family of phytophagous insects with high ecological relevance, due to their host plant specificity and their close association to vegetation variables. Therefore, secondary succession and seasonal… read more here.
