Huanglongbing, a devastating citrus disease, is associated with ‘ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’, ‘ Ca. L. africanus’ or ‘ Ca L. americanus’, bacteria transmitted by the psylloids Diaphorina citri and Trioza erytreae . Using a DNA-Seq and metabarcode sequencing integrated approach, the first catalogue of endosymbionts associated with T. erytreae from the Iberian Peninsula, South Africa and African Islands, was generated. T...

Motivation The accelerated and widespread conversion of once continuous ecosystems into fragmented landscapes has driven ecological research to understand the response of biodiversity to local (fragment size) and landscape (forest cover and fragmentation) changes. This information has important theoretical and applied implications, but is still far from complete. We compiled the most comprehensive and updated database to inves...

The interaction between photosynthesis and calcification remains poorly known in zooxanthellate scleractinian corals. We tested whether calcification is a significant source of CO 2 for photosynthesis in Stylophora pistillata . Rates of net photosynthesis, respiration, and calcification were measured on colonies incubated in synthetic seawater (SSW) controlled with respect to the inorganic carbon system and containing standard...
