As a direct consequence, another new marine associated ameronothroid species was now discovered via the same social media service. Moreover, the record of this new species, Ameronothrus retweet sp. n., represents the first report of an ameronothroid taxon from the Sea of Japan coast, indicating that this coastline was successfully colonized by these organisms and that further species could be present there. Ameronothrus retweet sp. n. shows an extraordinary sexual dimorphism with females having relatively shorter legs and a strongly folded notogastral integument. Based on morphological characteristics, it is suggested that the new species is closest related to Ameronothrus lineatus and Ameronothrus nigrofemoratus. A molecular genetic investigation of selected ameronothroid taxa, using the 18S rRNA gene, shows that all Ameronothrus species are closely related and represent a distinct monophyletic genus. In a larger phylogenetic context, the Fortuyniidae and Selenoribatidae are given as sister taxa with a monophyletic origin, whereas certain members of Ameronothridae are placed in paraphyletic positions, supporting theories of an independent origin of the marine associated lifestyle in ameronothroid mites. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:D0D9B80E-D144-436D-82B1-F2847178E861 http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:0CFB4401-1EC4-4BB8-97CD-13812FF11D83","PeriodicalId":13803,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Acarology","volume":"48 1","pages":"348 - 358"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41325690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of these showed significant similarities to those known or predicted from other Acaridae and also insect species. Similarities to orthologous precursors and receptors from the sheep Ovis aries, host for P. ovis, were also evaluated. The roles of neuropeptides and neurohormones in the control of behavioural and physiological processes such as osmoregulation, reproduction, growth and development are discussed. The GPCRs for these neuropeptides and neurohormones offer potential targets for the development of next-generation acaricides. Modification of normal receptor function by new chemistries that either block or over-stimulate the GPCRs can result in the death of the mite or alter its normal development and reproductive ability thereby suppressing populations. This work provides the information required to select potential GPCR targets in P. ovis for future development of new acaricides.","PeriodicalId":13803,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Acarology","volume":"48 1","pages":"300 - 323"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47921849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
