Novel ssDNA Viruses Detected in the Virome of Bleached, Habitat-Forming Kelp Ecklonia radiata by Douglas T. Beattie, Tim Lachnit, Tim Lachnit, Elizabeth A. Dinsdale, Torsten Thomas, Peter D. Steinberg, Peter D. Steinberg

“…CRESS-DNA viruses have not previously been described from macroalgae, and the rep genes were similar to CRESS-DNA viruses from marine water samples, snails, crabs, anemones, but also dragonflies. This raises the interesting possibility that the kelp could be a vector of the CRESS-DNA viruses to other organisms that are associated with the bleached state.…”

Morphological, functional, and phylogenetic aspects of the head capsule of the cockroach Ergaula capucina (Insecta/Blattodea) by Benjamin Wipfler, Felix Triesch, Dominic Evangelista, Tom Weihmann

“…On the maxillary lacinia, Ergaula is the first described blattodean to show strong and blunt setae instead of a lacinula, which might be homologues to the dentisetae of dragonflies and mayflies. Like other corydiid roaches that inhabit xeric areas, Ergaula has an atmospheric water-vapor absorption mechanism that includes a gland and a ductus on the epipharnyx and bladders on the hypopharynx. …”

Analysis of an alternative method for the study of bromeliad-associated fauna in plants with different foliar organization by Gerson A. Müller, Fernando T. Name, Frederico C.L. Pacheco, Carlos B. Marcondes

“…The higher mobility of immature forms of beetles and dragonflies, and the availability of only one tank in Aechea lindenii, contrasting to several tanks in Vriesea friburgensis that help the suction of these immature, probably influenced the results, which indicated that the suction method should not replace the dismantling in the study of Culicidae and Chironomidae. …”
