Two Interesting Species of Rickia (laboulbeniales) from Coastal Habitats in Belgium and the Netherlands
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents new records of Rickia (Laboulbeniales) from hosts collected in organic litter along the high-water mark of the North Sea beach. Samples were taken in Belgium and the Netherlands. Rickia proteini was found on Proteinus sp. (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae); it is a quite uncommon species and a first record for Belgium. Rickia laboulbenioides is a newly described species, found on the millipede Cylindroiulus latestriatus (Diplopoda, Julida, Blaniulidae). Descriptions and illustrations are given for both taxa.

Studies of Laboulbeniales on Myrmica ants (III): myrmecophilous arthropods as alternative hosts of Rickia wasmannii
Myrmecophilous arthropods and their manifold relations to host ants are interesting from an evolutionary perspective. Rickia wasmannii is an ectoparasitic fungus belonging to the Laboulbeniales order. Here, we show that inquiline mites can become infected by R. wasmannii, which was thought to be restricted to the genus Myrmica (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). This is the first report of R. wasmannii ...

We examined log-inhabiting arthropods and their associated mites for ectoparasitic fungi (Ascomycetes: Laboulbeniales) in South-east Queensland and Far North Queensland. Fungus host records were: Rickia berlesiana (Baccarini) on most species of Fedrizziidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) and three species of Passalidae (Coleoptera); Rickia leptaulacis Thaxter on two species of Fedrizzia (Fedrizziidae), ...
متن کاملStudies of Laboulbeniales (Fungi, Ascomycota) on Myrmica ants: Rickia wasmannii in the Netherlands
An important group of fungal insect parasites is the Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota). "ese are microscopic in size and live attached to the cuticle of their arthropod hosts. Rickia wasmannii is a common European species limited to the ant genus Myrmica (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). We present new records of R. wasmannii in the Netherlands on three host species: Myrmica ruginodis, M. sabuleti, and M. s...

Snow-fed River Pinder -a tributary of River Alaknanda in central Himalaya was explored for fish assemblages and habitat specificity. Altogether 27 fish species were reported from three orders, four families and nine genera. Cypriniformes order was dominating followed by Siluriformes and Salmoniformes. Shannon-Weiner diversity index (3.09 to 4.10) and Simpson index of diversity (0.81 to 0.92) of...

The present study aims to predict the potential geographic distribution and future expansion of invasive alien lionfish (Pterois miles) with ecological niche modelling along the Mediterranean Sea. The primary data consisted of occurrence points of P. miles in the Mediterranean and marine climatic data layers were collected from global databases. All the used models run 100% su...
