Freshwater fishes of the Waterberg aquatic ecoregion, South Africa: Diversity, taxonomic conflicts and conservation concerns

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 983-997, April 2026.
Abstract Southern Africa is a region denoted by both high levels of fish diversity, some of it cryptic and unrecognised by current taxonomy, and severely threatened freshwater ecosystems. The Waterberg, a key aquatic ecoregion of the greater Limpopo River basin in South Africa, represents an area with high terrestrial conservation value but is lacking ...

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 ...

Benthoplanidae, a new family of benthic ctenophores (Platyctenida), based on morphological and genetic data

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 387-400, March 2026.
The benthic ctenophore Benthoplana meteoris (adults left and bottom, planktonic juveniles to the top right), type species for the genus, which in turn is type for the newly erected family: Benthoplanidae (Ctenophora, Platyctenida). Abstract We present a phylogenetic analysis of benthic ctenophores of the order Platyctenida, sampling all but one genus ...

DNA Barcoding Southwestern Atlantic Skates: A 20-Year Effort in Building a Species Identification Library

Diversity
The skate fauna in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean (SWA; 34–55° S) is represented by ~32 species, many of which share external features that have led to misidentifications and deficient fishery statistics.

DNA analysis confirms the species Parachaetocladius lenferringtoni Bouchard et Namayandeh, 2024 (Chironomidae: Diptera)

CHIRONOMUS Journal of Chironomidae Research
In this study, we confirm the status of Parachaetocladius lenferringtoni Bouchard et Namayandeh, 2024, using molecular evidence. Using distance-based ABGD, ASAP, and K2P techniques, we determined that the minimum interspecific distance between sequences
