Excluding spatial sampling bias does not eliminate oversplitting in DNA‐based species delimitation analyses

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
DNA barcoding and DNA‐based species delimitation are major tools in DNA taxonomy. Sampling has been a central debate in this context, because the geographical composition of samples affects the accuracy and performance of DNA barcoding.

A new genus of jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) inhabiting the South Island New Zealand rocky alpine zone

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 716-795, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders) is among the most heavily researched groups of invertebrates globally. Nevertheless, in Aotearoa New Zealand most species have never been studied. While it is estimated that approximately 200 endemic salticid species are found across the country, only around 50 have been described and fewer than ...

Surprisingly frequent chromosomal instability in cultivated peanut

The Plant Journal, Volume 124, Issue 6, December 2025.
SUMMARY This study, the third in a three‐part series, investigates whether chromosomal instability persists in cultivated peanut. The allotetraploid peanut (Arachis hypogaea; genome type AABB) originated from the hybridization and polyploidization of A. duranensis (AA) and A. ipaënsis (BB).

Discovery of five new species of Allacta from Yunnan and Hainan, China (Blattodea, Pseudophyllodromiidae) [PDF]

ZooKeys
We examined new Allacta materials from Yunnan and Hainan Province, China, and discovered new species using both morphological and molecular species delimitation (ABGD) methods. Five new species are described: A. bifolium Li & Wang, sp.

DNA Barcodes and Morphology Reveal Five New Species of Phanerotoma (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae) from China [PDF]

Insects
The genus Phanerotoma Wesmael, 1838 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae, Phane- rotomini) is distributed across all six major zoogeographical regions, with the highest species diversity recorded in the Palaearctic Region. DNA barcoding provides a robust

From bottleneck to boom: Polyploidy, genetic instability and response to artificial selection resolve the peanut paradox

The Plant Journal, Volume 124, Issue 6, December 2025.
SUMMARY This study, the second in a three‐part series, shows how peanut's polyploid origin enabled rapid diversification and enhanced domestication potential. Building on the knowledge that cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) originated from a narrow hybridization between Arachis duranensis and Arachis ipaënsis less than 10 000 years ago, we are ...

Population structure of the endangered Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans revealed by genomic and mitochondrial data

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
The Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans is an arboreal rodent with a distribution range that covers large parts of the Eurasian taiga forest zone. However, extensive forestry has resulted in widespread local population declines and extinctions in recent decades.

Evaluation of multilocus marker efficacy for delineating mangrove species of West Coast India.

PLoS ONE, 2017
The plant DNA barcoding is a complex and requires more than one marker(s) as compared to animal barcoding. Mangroves are diverse estuarine ecosystem prevalent in the tropical and subtropical zone, but anthropogenic activity turned them into the ...

Finite Strain Robust Topology Optimization Considering Multiple Uncertainties

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 20, 30 October 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a computational framework for the robust stiffness design of hyperelastic structures at finite deformations subject to various uncertain sources. In particular, the loading, material properties, and geometry uncertainties are incorporated within the topology optimization framework and are modeled by random vectors or random
