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 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 esti

Application of Nuclear Volume Measurements to Comprehend the Cell Cycle in Root-Knot Nematode-Induced Giant Cells

Root-knot nematodes induce galls that contain giant-feeding cells harboring multiple enlarged nuclei within the roots of host plants.It is recognized that the cell cycle plays an essential role in the set-up of a peculiar nuclear organization that seemingly steers nematode feeding site induction and development.Functional studies of a large set of
