Journal ArticleDOI
An integrative taxonomic approach to assess the status of Corsican bumblebees: implications for conservation
Thomas Lecocq,Nicolas Brasero,T. De Meulemeester,Denis Michez,Simon Dellicour,Patrick Lhomme,R De Jonghe,Irena Valterová,Klára Urbanová,Pierre Rasmont +9 more
TL;DR: A pragmatic integrative taxonomic approach on the basis of molecular and eco-chemical criteria is applied to the insular bumblebee fauna of Corsica and facilitates diagnosis of evolutionarily significant units and rank taxa according to their distinctiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work focused on 39 bumblebee species, a major group of pollinators in temperate and cold ecosystems, across three continents, six biomes, and 20 regions, and assessed both inter- and intraspecific variations in heat resistance in relation to body mass, local mean temperatures, and evolutionary relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study sequenced and isolated 77 Lassa virus strains from 16 Nigerian states, and modeled how the virus spread in the country, providing a deeper understanding of the geography of genetic lineages and sublineages of the virus in Nigeria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular and chemical characters to evaluate species status of two cuckoo bumblebees: Bombus barbutellus and Bombus maxillosus (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Bombini)
TL;DR: It is concluded that the morphological criteria seem to relate to intraspecific variations: B. maxillosus is regarded as a syn.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in computational phylodynamics
TL;DR: To elucidate the current state of the art in the field of phylodynamics, recent developments in Bayesian inference and accompanying software are discussed, methods for improving computational efficiency and relevant visualisation tools are highlighted, and future directions that may facilitate the large-scale tracking of epidemics in near real time are outlined.
