Two new species of Milnesium are described, Milnesium minutum sp. n. from Sicily and Milnesium sandrae sp. n. from the Hawaiian Archipelago. The body size of Milnesium minutum is …
Echiniscidae in the Mascarenes: the wonders of Mauritius
Many regions of the world remain unexplored in terms of the tardigrade diversity, and the islands of the Indian Ocean are no exception. In this work, we report four species of the…
New Echiniscidae (Heterotardigrada) from Amber Mountain (Northern Madagascar)
A moss sample from the local biodiversity hotspot in lowland rainforest in the vicinity of Amber Mountain, Madagascar, yielded the discovery of two Echiniscus C.A.S. Schultze, 184…
Two new species of Papiliotrema (Rhynchogastremataceae, Tremellales) from China
Papiliotrema species are commonly found in different habitats and many of them are reported as epiphytic yeasts associated with plants. In this study, several yeast strains were i…
Microbotryozyma lacustris sp. nov. (Basidiomycota, Ustilentylomataceae) and Cyberlindnera basumtsoensis sp. nov. (Ascom…
High-altitude lakes in Tibet represent unique and underexplored reservoirs of microbial diversity. An investigation of yeast diversity in Basom Lake, a high-altitude lake in Tibet…
A new psychrophilic yeast of Kriegeriaceae (Kriegeriales) isolated from lichen in the Arctic, with the description of L…
Yeasts are an important component of the microbiome in circumpolar regions that are characterized by unique environmental conditions. However, the taxonomy of yeasts remains large…
Wing shape changes as a proxy for invasion success in Antarctica: case study of Psychoda albipennis (Psychodidae) using…
Invasions of exotic species in fragile and pristine ecosystems, such as those of Antarctica, is a growing ecological concern. Psychoda albipennis, a cosmopolitan saprophagous fly,…
