Abstract

A series of recent papers has compiled brief biographies and listed the scientific publications and taxa proposed for a number of bee researchers (Rasmussen et al. 2007; Zuparko 2007; Rasmussen & Ascher 2008; Rasmussen et al. 2009; Rasmussen 2012; Rasmussen et al. 2013). Unfortunately five taxa attributed in the original publication to Vachal were overlooked in the recent review of his taxonomic work (Rasmussen 2012). Whereas these five names for halictine bees appeared with brief Latin descriptions in the publication by Kohl (1905), all other hymenopteran taxa described by Kohl in this paper had descriptions in German. At least one of the halictine names has been attributed to Kohl (Warncke, 1984), but based on the fact that 1) Kohl gave Vachal the authorship (as "J. Vachal n. sp.") and 2) the five descriptions are in a different language from the taxa described by Kohl in the same paper, these five names should all be referred to Vachal as pointed out by Ebmer (1976). The paper by Kohl (1905) lists all of the Hymenoptera collected from the surroundings of the snow-capped stratovolcano Mount Erciyes (Erciyes Dag, as Erdschias) of Kayseri Province in Turkey, the highest mountain of central Anatolia. Bee localities visited by th...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
