متن کاملArmy ants: an evolutionary bestseller?

متن کاملPhylogeny of ambrosia beetle symbionts in the genus Raffaelea.

Since then, many additional ambrosia beetle symbionts have been added to the genus, including the important tree pathogens Raffaelea quercivora, Raffaelea quercus-mongolicae, and Raffaelea lauricola, causal agents of Japanese and Korean oak wilt and laure...
