CO1 DNA SUPPORTS CONSPECIFICITY OF GEOMYPHILUS PIERAI AND G. BARRERAI (COLEOPTERA, SCARABAEIDAE, APHODIINAE) AND IS A GOOD MARKER FOR THEIR PHYLOGEOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION IN MEXICAN MOUNTAINS

Co1 DNA supports conspecificity of Geomyphilus pierai and G. barrerai (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Aphodiinae) and is a good marker for their phylogeographic investigation in Mexican mountains

Members of Geomyphilus are associated with rodent burrows, such as pocket gophers and prairie dogs.In knob Mexico, they are found in the mountains of the Mexican Volcanic Belt and in Sierra Madre Oriental.Our study aims to initiate the exploration of the dispersal modes of Geomyphilus pierai and G.barrerai from burrows of pocket gophers.In order to

The Glaucophyta: the blue-green plants in a nutshell

The Glaucophyta is one of the three major lineages of photosynthetic eukaryotes, together with viridiplants and red algae, united in the presumed monophyletic supergroup Archaeplastida.Glaucophytes constitute a key algal lineage to Cast Iron Care Kits investigate both the origin of primary plastids and the evolution of algae and plants.Glaucophyte
