“…The consensus tree used four Markov chains run at 10 6 generations with a burn-in of 2 x 10 4 . Parsimony bootstrap analysis and maximum likelihood analysis was by the method of Tripodi et al (2006) (Felsenstein 1985), and genealogical relationships among mtDNA haplotypes were constructed using TCS (Clement et al 2000) with the method described by Templeton et al (1992). Briefly, PAUP* 4.0b10 was used for maximum likelihood and unweighted parsimony analysis on the alignments, the Branch and Bound algorithm of PAUP* was used for parsimony bootstrap analysis, and a heuristic search used the neighbor-joining tree as the starting tree with PAUP*.…”

“…comm.). Portions of the data and the sampling methodology for the NTS have been published previously (Messenger et al, 2002;Austin et al, 2005Austin et al, , 2006Austin et al, , 2007Szalanski et al, 2006;Tripodi et al, 2006;McKern et al, 2007). Here, NTS city locations for Reticulitermes flavipes, R. virginicus and Coptotermes formosanus (n = 771) were batch digitised for georeferencing (GPS Visualizer, 2013) and 10% individually verified for accuracy (data are available in Table S2, File S1).…”

Abstract. 1. Wood decomposition in temperate forests is dominated by termites, fungi, and some species of ants and beetles. Outside of urban areas, temperate termite ecology is largely unknown, particularly when compared to tropical termites and other temperate organisms in the functional guild of wood-decomposing animals.2. This review combines climate habitat modelling with knowledge of species physiology, behaviour, and community interactions to identify and prioritise future research on temperate termite ecology and biogeography.3. Using a correlative climate model, the regional distributions of three common temperate forest termite species are shown to correlate with different aspects of climate (e.g. mean versus minimum monthly temperature), but that overall their distributions within temperate systems correlate more strongly with temperature variables than with precipitation variables.4. Existing data are synthesised to outline how the subterranean, wood-nesting behaviour of most temperate forest termite species links their activity to an additional set of non-climate controls: wood type and tree species, soil depth, fungal activity, ant abundances and phenology, and competitive asymmetries among termite species.5. Although fine-scale estimates of temperate termite abundances are rare, we provide upper bounds on their ecosystem impacts and illustrate how their regional abundances may influence forest structure and habitat availability for other organisms.6. This review highlights that rigorous ecological studies in non-urban, intact ecosystems -with a particular focus on community interactions -are critically needed to accurately project future abundances, economic impacts, and ecosystem effects of temperate forest termites.

“…To create the consensus tree, four Markov chains ran for 10 6 generations. Parsimony boostrap analysis (Felsenstein 1985) and maximum likelihood analysis was conducted with the method by Tripodi et al (2006), and genealogical relationships among mtDNA haplotypes were constructed using TCS (Clement et al 2000) with the method described by Templeton et al (1992). Once the consensus tree was constructed, PAUP* 4.0b10 was used to conduct maximum likelihood and unweighted parsimony analysis on the alignments, the Branch and Bound algorithm of PAUP* was used for parsimony bootstrap analysis, and a heuristic search was performed using the neighbor joining tree as the starting tree with PAUP*.…”

Lone star ticks, Amblyomma americanum L. (Acari: Ixodidae),infest multiple hosts such as birds, and mammals of various sizes (rodents to white-tailed deer) and can harbor human pathogens such as Borrelia lonestari and Ehrlichiosis chaffeensis. The population structure of 251 A. americanum ticks, collected from canines and two white-tailed deer in six Arkansas ecoregions, was examined using DNA sequences of a 247-bp region of the mitochondrial DNA ribosomal RNA 16S gene. Of the 247 nucleotide characters, 26 were variable. Thirty-three haplotypes were identified of which 25 haplotypes occurred once (10%). The most common haplotype was Aa25, occurring in 60% of the samples and found in all six ecoregions. The excess of low frequency haplotypes combined with the overall negative Tajima's D and Fu and Li statistics suggests population expansion. Phylogenetic relationships of the 33 A. americanum haplotypes were constructed with other Amblyomma species and identified A. americanum as a monophyletic species with two groups. The patterns of high nucleotide and haplotype diversity found in this study suggests that the A. americanum population is expanding perhaps due to its ability to survive in a variety of habitats and feed on multiple hosts. Given the gene flow in Arkansas, the spread of acaricide resistance and pathogens may be rapid.
