New insights into the past and recent evolutionary history of the Corsican mouflon (Ovis gmelini musimon) to inform its conservation

Elodie Portanier et al.

Summary: Human-mediated species dispersal has influenced biodiversity in the Mediterranean for thousands of years. The Corsican mouflon likely descended from the Asiatic mouflon, with genetic analyses showing strong genetic differentiation between two populations on the island. A single group of founders is believed to have introduced the Corsican mouflon, leading to genetic bottlenecks and the eventual divergence into two populations several hundred years ago. The shared ancestry of the populations raises questions about their current management as distinct units.

The First Data on Parasitic Arthropods of the European Bison in the Summer Season with a World Checklist

Joanna N. Izdebska et al.

Summary: The European bison is the largest terrestrial mammal in Europe and has successfully been reintroduced to nature after becoming extinct in the early 20th century. It is a rare and protected species that is susceptible to various threats, including diseases. The study provides information on the occurrence of arthropods in European bison during the summer season, highlighting their increased activity and potential for transmitting pathogens.

The Occurrence of Skin Mites from the Demodecidae and Psorergatidae (Acariformes: Prostigmata) Families in Bats, with a Description of a New Species and New Records

Karolina Cierocka et al.

Summary: This paper describes a new species of mite, Demodex pusillus, found on the hairy skin of Nyctalus noctula. The paper also includes new data on the coexistence of mites from the Demodecidae and Psorergatidae families in bats, as well as an updated global checklist and data on their occurrence and location within the hosts. The mites from both families colonize different microhabitats within the hosts, allowing different species to co-occur. The new species, Demodex pusillus, is the smallest known representative of the Demodecidae family.

Summary: Among carnivorans, there are multiple species of Demodex mites that cause demodecosis, including some wild species. Previously unknown mites have been discovered on European polecats from Germany and classified as a new genus and species.

Demodex crocidurae, a New Demodecid Mite (Acariformes: Prostigmata) Parasitizing the Lesser White-Toothed Shrew and a Redescription of Demodex talpae from European Mole with Data on Parasitism in Soricomorpha

Karolina Cierocka et al.

Summary: This paper describes a new parasitic mite species, Demodex crocidurae, inhabiting the hairy skin of Crocidura suaveolens, as well as a morphologically similar species, Demodex talpae, from Talpa europaea. Differential diagnosis revealed these are distinct species colonizing analogous microhabitats in different host species.
