A subterranean ark

this ominous distinction. Elkhorn used to be the dominant species in shallow waters of the Caribbean, with a distribution range from Biscayne National Park, Florida, to the coast of Venezuela. Researchers believe that its abundance has been reduced by over 95% since 1980. Staghorn is the fastest-growing Western Atlantic coral and used to be found throughout the Caribbean. Its population has dec...

Subterranean termite invaSion originS

Subterranean termites in the genus Coptotermes Holmgren are structural pests that have become globally distributed beyond their native range in Southeast Asia. Because of their destructive nature, it is useful to understand the pathways of their spread. Additionally, phylogenetic analysis of evolutionary relationships may lead to increased accuracy of insecticide-based management on the basis t...
