| cryptic biodiversity in the cytogenome of bird-biting blackflies in north africa. | bird-biting blackflies in the simulium (eusimulium) aureum group (diptera: simuliidae) are widespread vectors of leucocytozoon and trypanosoma parasites. the polytene chromosomes of 619 larvae of the three nominal members of the s. aureum group in north africa were evaluated cytogenetically for cryptic biodiversity. seven chromosomal segregates were discovered among 29 populations in algeria and morocco. this diversity was based primarily on two chromosomal inversions, which have assumed unique ... | 2015 | 25801314 |
| biodiversity and bionomics of the black flies (diptera: simuliidae) of northeastern algeria. | black flies in the seybouse river basin in northeastern algeria were sampled at 31 sites along the main river and its tributaries across all seasons from 2011 to 2013. eight nominal species and species complexes in three genera were identified among more than 31,000 specimens. urosimulium faurei (bernard, grenier & bailly-choumara), simulium (eusimulium) mellah giudicelli & bouzidi, and simulium (nevermania) lundstromi (enderlein) were recorded for the first time in northeastern algeria. three c ... | 2014 | 24870670 |
