Reconciling morphological and molecular approaches: The integrative taxonomy of Leucobryum (Leucobryaceae) in the Malagasy region

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Leucobryum (Leucobryaceae) is a genus of moss (Bryophyta) that has been poorly investigated in Africa, particularly in the western Indian Ocean region. This study integrates morphological and molecular data to revise the taxonomy of the genus in this area.

Integrative Taxonomy of Pachygrontha (Heteroptera: Pachygronthidae) in East and Southeast Asia Reveals New Insights Into Species and Group Delimitation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This manuscript presents a comprehensive taxonomic revision of the insect genus Pachygrontha in East and Southeast Asia, addressing the critical need for robust species delimitation in closely related lineages. Our research employs an integrative approach, combining detailed morphological examination with complete mitochondrial genomes and genome‐wide ...

Profundum solomoni (Amphipoda: Uristidae) Exhibits a Disjunct Geographic Distribution at Hadal Depths Across the San Cristobal Trench, Santa Cruz Trench and Nova Canton Trough

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 639-651, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Hadal environments (> 6000 m ocean depths) are often viewed as isolated locations with high species endemism due to limited dispersal. However, molecular studies continue to reveal greater complexity that questions historical perceptions. Recent population genetic studies focused on scavenging amphipods have identified broadly distributed ...

Revealing Hidden Diversity of the Underestimated Neotropical Ichthyofauna: DNA Barcoding in the Recently Described Genus Megaleporinus (Characiformes: Anostomidae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2017
Molecular studies have improved our knowledge on the neotropical ichthyofauna. DNA barcoding has successfully been used in fish species identification and in detecting cryptic diversity. Megaleporinus (Anostomidae) is a recently described freshwater fish

Uncovering Hidden Diversity: Three New Species of the Keratella Genus (Rotifera, Monogononta, Brachionidae) of High Altitude Water Systems from Central Mexico

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
The correct identification of species is an essential step before any study on biodiversity, ecology or genetics. Keratella is a genus with a predominantly temperate distribution and with several species being endemics or restricted geographically.

Phylogeny of the Electric Rays of the Family Narcinidae (Gill, 1862): Systematic Review and Evidence of the Dispersal Routes to America

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The family Narcinidae has a cosmopolitan distribution; however, its systematic composition and phylogenetic position within Torpediniformes remain poorly understood. This study evaluates the evolutionary and biogeographic history of the family Narcinidae and investigates its distribution patterns using molecular systematics.

Phylogenetic analyses of the leafhopper tribe Chiasmini Distant, 1908 and delimination of species of the genus Exitianus Ball, 1929 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Chiasmini) in China based on molecular data

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Taxonomy
Previous phylogenetic analyses of the grass-specialist leafhopper tribe Chiasmini have resolved relationships among genera but have included few representatives of individual genera.

Evolution and Phylogenetics of the Javan Hawk‐Eagle Nisaetus bartelsi (Stresemann, 1924) Using Mitochondrial Data 爪哇鹰雕 Nisaetus bartelsi (Stresemann, 1924) 基于线粒体数据的演化与系统发育研究

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 217-224, June 2026.
This study reconstructs the phylogeny of the Javan Hawk‐Eagle (Nisaetus bartelsi) within the subfamily Aquilinae using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference algorithms on a blood sample and GenBank data. The analysis reveals that the sampled genus Nisaetus forms a monophyletic group. Furthermore, N. bartelsi occupies a sister‐taxon of N.

Effects of Shade and Concentrate Supplementation on Heat Tolerance, Metabolic, and Hematological Responses of Holstein Cows in a Semi‐Arid Environment

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study evaluated heat tolerance and biochemical and haematological responses of Holstein cows exposed to different environmental conditions (full sun or shade) and feeding regimens (with or without concentrate) in the semi‐arid region of Brazil. Sixteen adult cows were distributed across four treatments.

A new endemic pearl cichlid of the ‘Geophagus’ brasiliensis (Cichliformes: Cichlidae) species group from the Piranga River, upper Doce River basin, southeastern Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 6, Page 1687-1700, June 2026.
Abstract A new species of pearl cichlid of the ‘Geophagus’ brasiliensis species group, endemic to the Piranga River, a major tributary of the upper Doce River basin in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil, is herein described. The new species is delimited using an integrative approach, with molecular‐based species delimitation methods coupled
