Mitogenomics of Central American weakly-electric fishes
(2019-02-20)
Electric fishes are a diverse group of freshwater organisms with the ability to generate electric organ discharges (EODs) that are used for communication and electrolocation. This group (ca. 200 species) has originated in ...
tempo and mode of allopatric divergence in the weakly electric fish Sternopygus dariensis in the Isthmus of Panama
(2019-12-11)
Spatial isolation is one of the main drivers of allopatric speciation, but the extent to which spatiallysegregated populations accumulate genetic differences relevant to speciation is not always clear. We used data from ...
Application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry to identify species of Neotropical Anopheles vectors of malaria
(2019-03-22)
Background: Malaria control in Panama is problematic due to the high diversity of morphologically similar Anopheles mosquito species, which makes identifcation of vectors of human Plasmodium challenging. Strategies by ...
Proteomic fingerprint identification of Neotropical hard tick species (Acari: Ixodidae) using a self-curated mass spectra reference library
(2020-04-14)
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry is an analytical method that detects macromolecules that can be used as biomarkers for taxonomic identification in arthropods. The ...
