description: 1. Global warming challenges the persistence of local populations, not only through heat-induced stress, but also through indirect biotic changes. We study the interactive effects of temperature, competition and parasitism in the water flea Daphnia magna. 2. We carried out a common garden experiment monitoring the dynamics of Daphnia populations along a temperature gradient. Halfway through the experiment, all populations became infected with the ectoparasite Amoebidium parasiticum, enabling us to study the interactive effects of temperature and parasite dynamics. We combined Integral Projection Models with epidemiological models, parameterized using the experimental data on the performance of individuals within dynamic populations. This enabled us to quantify the contribution of different vital rates and epidemiological parameters to population fitness across temperatures and Daphnia clones originating from two latitudes. 3. Interactions between temperature and parasitism shaped competition, where Belgian clones performed better under infection than Norwegian clones. Infected Daphnia populations performed better at higher than at lower temperatures, mainly due to an increased host capability of reducing parasite loads. Temperature strongly affected individual vital rates, but effects largely cancelled out on a population-level. In contrast, parasitism strongly reduced fitness through consistent negative effects on all vital rates. As a result, temperature-mediated parasitism was more important than the direct effects of temperature in shaping population dynamics. Both the outcome of the competition treatments and the observed extinction patterns support our modelling results. 4. Our study highlights that shifts in biotic interactions can be equally or more important for responses to warming than direct physiological effects of warming, emphasizing that we need to include such interactions in our studies to predict the competitive ability of natural populations experiencing global warming.

description: The increasing number of new fungal species described from all over the world along with the use of genetics to define taxa, has dramatically changed the classification system of early-diverging fungi over the past several decades. The number of phyla established for non-Dikarya fungi has increased from 2 to 17. However, to date, both the classification and phylogeny of the basal fungi are still unresolved. In this article, we review the recent taxonomy of the basal fungi and re-evaluate the relationships among early-diverging lineages of fungal phyla. We also provide information on the ecology and distribution in Mucoromycota and highlight the impact of chytrids on amphibian populations. Species concepts in Chytridiomycota, Aphelidiomycota, Rozellomycota, Neocallimastigomycota are discussed in this paper. To preserve the current application of the genus Nephridiophaga (Chytridiomycota: Nephridiophagales), a new type species, Nephridiophaga blattellae, is proposed.

description: Insect monitoring is pivotal for assessing biodiversity and informing conservation strategies. This study delves into the complex realm of insect monitoring in the Global South—world developing and least-developed countries as identified by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development—highlighting challenges and proposing strategic solutions. An analysis of publications from 1990 to 2024 reveals an imbalance in research contributions between the Global North and South, highlighting disparities in entomological research and the scarcity of taxonomic expertise in the Global South. We discuss the socio-economic factors that exacerbate the issues, including funding disparities, challenges in collaboration, infrastructure deficits, information technology obstacles and the impact of local currency devaluation. In addition, we emphasize the crucial role of environmental factors in shaping insect diversity, particularly in tropical regions facing multiple challenges including climate change, urbanization, pollution and various anthropogenic activities. We also stress the need for entomologists to advocate for ecosystem services provided by insects in addressing environmental issues. To enhance monitoring capacity, we propose strategies such as community engagement, outreach programmes and cultural activities to instill biodiversity appreciation. Further, language inclusivity and social media use are emphasized for effective communication. More collaborations with Global North counterparts, particularly in areas of molecular biology and remote sensing, are suggested for technological advancements. In conclusion, advocating for these strategies—global collaborations, a diverse entomological community and the integration of transverse disciplines—aims to address challenges and foster inclusive, sustainable insect monitoring in the Global South, contributing significantly to biodiversity conservation and overall ecosystem health.

Type. BMNH
Distribution. U (Riverside)
Host/habitat. Carpophilus hemipterus, Stelidota geminata
Remarks. Except for a single record from Riverside (LaSalle & Gordh 1985), this species is known only from the West Indies and Brazil. As LaSalle & Gordh pointed out, it remains to be seen if the California record represents part of a broad distribution of the species, or the result of an adventitious introduction.
spp.
Remarks. Specimens undetermined to species were collected in Alameda, Marin, Orange, Sonoma and Stanislaus counties (CSCA, RLZC, UCFC).

Wiedemannia (Philolutra) chvali Joost, 1981: 186.
Material examined. RUSSIA: Karachay-Cherkess Republic, env. Phiya (15), 11.viii.2013, D. Zherebilo (1 ♂); River Kislaya (14), 12.viii.2013, V. Gladun (1 ♂, 2 ♀).
Diagnosis. This species differs by acrostichals extending only to the third dorsocentral seta, 5 pairs of dorsocentrals without intermediate setae interspersed among primary setae, brown scutum with blue pruinescence on notopleuron, fore femur apically without strong anterior setae; clasping cercus broad, mitten-shaped, lobes not slender.
Distribution. Caucasus: Russia (Karachay-Cherkess Republic, Kabardino-Balkaria Republic).
Remarks. In the original description of W. (Philolutra) chvali Joost (1981) the author indicated that acrostichals were absent. However the study of additional specimens shows that they all bear distinct short acrostichal setae, extending to third dorsocentral seta. This species was described from the Karachay-Cherkess and Kabardino-Balkaria Republics of Russia. In the Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera (Chvála & Wagner 1989) the species was erroneously indicated from Georgia and we know of no records from this territory. This uncommonly collected species is known from mountain rivers from altitude 1300–2500 m a.s.l. active from June to August.

description: Human activities have an overwhelming impact on the natural environment, leading to a deep biodiversity crisis whose effects range from genes to ecosystems. Here, we analysed the effect of such anthropogenic impacts on bdelloid rotifers (Rotifera Bdelloidea), for whom these effects are poorly understood. We targeted bdelloid rotifers living in lichen patches across urbanization gradients in Flanders and Brussels (Belgium). Urbanization was measured as the percentage of built-up area (BU) across different spatial scales, at circles from 50 to 3200 m of radius around the lichen. Urbanization effects on biodiversity were assessed on abundance, species richness and community-weighted mean body size of bdelloid rotifers, as well as on genetic diversity of a mitochondrial marker (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) of one of the most common and widespread bdelloid species, Adineta vaga. Overall, no negative effect of urbanization was found at any diversity level and any spatial scale. Counterintuitively, the BU area quantified at the largest spatial scale had a positive effect on abundance. These results leave open the question of whether negative effects of urbanization are present for bdelloid rotifers, if they are mediated by other unexplored drivers, or if such effects are only visible at even larger spatial scales.

(Figs. 5 and 11 G)
Material examined. One specimen from El Médano (05/05/2016), Tenerife, Canary Islands (Fig. 1, T4; Table 1 and 2) by Leopoldo Moro. 60 slides of sagittal serial sectioned specimen and stained with AZAN; Catalogue number: MNCN 4.01 / 1878-1938.
Type locality. Curaçao (Marcus & Marcus 1968).
Distribution. Colombia, in the Caribe (Quiroga et al. 2004); Cape Frio, Rio of Janeiro (Bahia & Padula 2009); in the entrance of Todos los Santos Bay near the city of Salvador de Bahia (Queiroz et al. 2013); Canary Island (Psudocerotidae sp.1 De Vera et al, 2009 page 50, fig. 1F).
Occurrence in the Canary Island. Pericelis cata was observed at depths of intertidal to 7 metres, almost throughout the year.
Description. Body shape oval. Length 2.5 cm. Smooth dorsal surface. Background colour of dark brown tonalities with white spots and patches distributed randomly on the dorsal surface (Fig. 5 A). Ventral sucker at the posterior end. Two small pseudotentacles with simple folds, far from each other (Fig. 5 B). The cerebral eyes clusters are small in size. Ruffled pharynx located in the anterior third of the body. Oral pore is in the first third of the body, posterior to the cerebral ganglion.
Reproductive system: single male copulatory organ, anterior to the female system (Fig. 5 C and D) and ventrally orientated. Penis papilla elongated and internal covered with glandular tissue that assumes the function of prostatic vesicle (Fig. 5 D). Seminal vesicle covered by a big muscular bulb. Female copulatory organ characterized by a bulbous vagina.
Taxonomic remarks. The external and internal anatomical characteristics of the Canarian specimens correspond with the description made by Marcus & Marcus in 1968 of Curacao Pericelis cata from Curacao. Likewise, it is necessary to indicate that the specimens photographed by Vera et al in 1986 and determined as Pseudocerotidae sp show great similarity with the dorsal pigmentation of Pericelis cata, but the lack of material for comparison avoids a definitive determination. Therefore, this can be considered the first record of Pericelis cata for the Canary Islands and for the Temperate Northern Atlantic marine ecoregion (Spalding et al. 2007).

The name of the paper in which C. marilandicus was described was mistakenly recorded by Noyes (2001) as “Descriptions of miscellanous Chalcid-Flies from California”, but in fact the last two words are not present in the title. Of the 12 described species in this genus, only three (laticeps Kerrich, subplanus (Dalman) and ugandensis Kerrich, all Palearctic taxa) have recorded hosts, all Diptera. However, there are two records in the literature of undescribed Cerchysius from Hemiptera: a Cerchysius species near laticeps was reared from a scale (“Coccid on wild plant”) in India (Shafee et al. 1975) (and not C. laticeps itself on a Pseudococcidae, as reported in Noyes & Hayat 1994 and Noyes 2001), and an undescribed species was reported as a hyperparasitoid on Coccus hesperidum via Microterys nietneri (as M. flavus) in California, and associated with Saissetia oleae (Timberlake 1913). There is also a record of a Cerchysius sp. as a hyperparasitoid on Coelomera lanio Dalman, via Lydellothelaira collaris Townsend (Diptera: Tachinidae) (Parker et al. 1953).

description: Recent studies reported the detection of DNA from tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) of veterinary relevance such as Anaplasma marginale, Babesia bigemina, Babesia bovis and Theileria orientalis in bovine blood samples from Mongolia. These findings were unexpected, as the known tick vectors of these pathogens are not known to occur in Mongolia. We therefore conducted a study in May and June 2013 in six districts of Khentii province where DNA of the said TBPs was previously found. Ticks collected from the vegetation and rodents, as well as blood samples from cattle, were screened for the presence of TBPs by reverse line blot (RLB) hybridization. Tick larvae collected from rodents were pooled. A total of 310 adult ticks were collected from the vegetation, and 249 tick larvae were collected from 24 rodents. Adult ticks (n = 2,318) and blood samples were collected from 481 heads of cattle. All adult ticks were identified as Dermacentor nuttalli. DNA from Rickettsia raoultii (252/310; 81.3%), an uncharacterized Anaplasma species preliminary named Anaplasma sp. Mongolia (26/310; 8.4%), Candidatus Midichloria sp. (18/310; 5.8%), Theileria equi (16/310; 5.2%), Babesia caballi (5/310; 1.6%), T. orientalis (1/310; 0.3%), Borrelia afzelii (1/310; 0.3%) and Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis (1/310; 0.3%) was detected in ticks collected from the vegetation.

description: Over the course of the eighteenth century, the reproductive body became a source of conflict as male physicians became scientific authorities on childbirth. While midwifery had traditionally been considered a female profession that existed in spaces centered around women, the profession became increasingly associated with male physicians and spaces of higher education. In order to examine the institutionalization of medical education and its subsequent impact on midwifery, my research will focus on the development of medical education and the medical professoriate in Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey and the subsequent expansion of medical education in the South. My research will illustrate how midwifery became absorbed into the curricula of medical schools and how the rise of the medical professoriate fundamentally altered the profession of midwifery in America. Medical schools in Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey were at the nexus of transformations that medicine and higher education underwent in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The convergence of reinvigorated interest in the female body and formalized medical education spawned a medical professoriate that specialized in obstetrics and gynecology. Through public lectures and publications, higher education provided physicians with a means of advertising themselves to the public. While historians typically link the decline of midwifery as a female profession to physicians' use of forceps and anesthesia, the role of higher education and the rise of the medical professoriate in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century must be further examined in order to understand how midwifery became absorbed into the medical profession.

description: Immunological responses of hibernating mammals are suppressed at low body temperatures, a possible explanation for the devastating effect of the white-nose syndrome on hibernating North American bats. However, European bats seem to cope well with the fungal causative agent of the disease. To better understand the immune response of hibernating bats, especially against fungal pathogens, we challenged European greater mouse-eared bats (Myotis myotis) by inoculating the fungal antigen zymosan. We monitored torpor patterns, immune gene expressions, different aspects of the acute phase response and plasma oxidative status markers, and compared them with sham-injected control animals at 30 min, 48 h and 96 h after inoculation. Torpor patterns, body temperatures, body masses, white blood cell counts, expression of immune genes, reactive oxygen metabolites and non-enzymatic antioxidant capacity did not differ between groups during the experiment. However, zymosan injected bats had significantly higher levels of haptoglobin than the control animals. Our results indicate that hibernating greater mouse-eared bats mount an inflammatory response to a fungal challenge, with only mild to negligible consequences for the energy budget of hibernation. Our study gives a first hint that hibernating European bats may have evolved a hibernation-adjusted immune response in order to balance the trade-off between competent pathogen elimination and a prudent energy-saving regime.

description: The topographic features of an implant, which mechanically regulate cell behaviors and functions, are critical for the clinical success in tissue regeneration. How cells sense and respond to the topographical cues, e.g., interfacial roughness, is yet to be fully understood and even debatable. Here, the mechanotransduction and fate determination of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on surface roughness gradients are systematically studied. The broad range of topographical scales and high‐throughput imaging is achieved based on a catecholic polyglycerol coating fabricated by a one‐step‐tilted dip‐coating approach. It is revealed that the adhesion of MSCs is biphasically regulated by interfacial roughness. The cell mechanotransduction is investigated from focal adhesion to transcriptional activity, which explains that cellular response to interfacial roughness undergoes a direct force‐dependent mechanism. Moreover, the optimized roughness for promoting cell fate specification is explored.

(Fig. 11 I)
Material examined. One specimen from Fuerteventura and Arrecife, Lanzarote, Canary Islands (Fig. 1, F2, L1 and L2; Table 1 and 2).
Type locality. Ngor Island, Senegal (Bahía & Schrödl 2016).
Distribution. Santo Antão, Cape Verde; Madeira and Canary Islands (Bahía & Schrödl 2016)
Ocurence in the Canary Island. Pseudobiceros wirtzi was observed at depths of intertidal to 4 metres (intertidal zone), during the spring and summer time.
Taxonomic remarks. The specimen captured in Fuenteventura coincides in the coloration as well as in the arrangement of the tentacles and the eyes with P. wirtzi described by Bahia & Schrödl 2015, from Senegal. P. wirtzi is characterized by the presence of two male copulatory organs and a conspicuous unique pigmentation pattern of multiple yellow and white fine lines across a dark (brown to black) background colour.
Due to its characteristic colour and drawing pattern, we deduce that the specimens identified by Vera et al 2009 as Pseudocerotidae sp. 4 is Pseudobiceros wirtzi.

description: Marek’s disease virus (MDV) infects chickens and causes one of the most frequent cancers in animals. Over 100 years of research on this oncogenic alphaherpesvirus has led to a profound understanding of virus-induced tumor development. Live-attenuated vaccines against MDV were the first that prevented cancer and minimized the losses in the poultry industry. Even though the current gold standard vaccine efficiently protects against clinical disease, the virus continuously evolves towards higher virulence. Emerging field strains were able to overcome the protection provided by the previous two vaccine generations. Research over the last few years revealed important insights into the virus life cycle, cellular tropism, and tumor development that are summarized in this review. In addition, we discuss recent data on the MDV transcriptome, the constant evolution of this highly oncogenic virus towards higher virulence, and future perspectives in MDV research.

Wiedemannia (Philolutra) klausnitzeri Joost, 1981: 188.
Diagnosis. This species differs by the completely dark brown scutum, acrostichals extending only to third dorsocentral seta, 5 pairs of dorsocentrals; lobes of clasping cercus orientated at right angles, L-shaped; digitiform lobe nearly directed vertically.
Distribution. Caucasus: Russia (Krasnodarskiy Territory).
Remarks. This species was described by Joost (1981), collected from the Sochi River (Russia, Krasnodarskiy Territory), but in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera (1989) the species was mistakenly indicated from territory of Georgia [“Sotschi-Fluss, oberhalb des Ortes Plastunka (Georgian SSR)”]. Actually W. klausnitzeri is known only from type-locality: Krasnodarskiy Territory of Russia.
We were unsuccessful in collecting additional specimens of this species.
