Integrative taxonomy unveils a new lineage within Acanthogonatus centralis Goloboff, 1995 (Araneae, Mygalomorphae, Pycnothelidae): description of Acanthogonatus monicae sp. nov. from central Argentina [PDF]
A new species of Pycnothelidae Chamberlin, 1917 from the Pampean mountain ranges, Córdoba, Argentina is described and illustrated: Acanthogonatus monicae sp. nov. Here, we combine morphological analyses, molecular phylogeny based on the COI gene, species

Mind the gap! Integrating taxonomic approaches to assess ant diversity at the southern extreme of the Atlantic Forest [PDF]
Understanding patterns of species diversity rely on accurate taxonomy which can only be achieved by long-term natural history research and the use of complementary information to establish species boundaries among cryptic taxa.

GEDI LiDAR‐derived biomass models were calibrated using local field data across various forest types in Mexico, resulting in a significant improvement in AGBD estimation accuracy compared to the standard GEDI products. The models reduced biomass estimation errors by over 30% and showed the highest accuracy in areas with moderate slopes and low forest ...

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

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 ...

Characterization of (asymptotically) Kerr–de Sitter-like spacetimes at null infinity* [PDF]
We investigate solutions(M, g) to Einstein's vacuum field equations with positive cosmological constant. which admit a smooth past null infinity J(-) a la Penrose and a Killing vector field whose associated Mars-Simon tensor (MST) vanishes.

Surprisingly frequent chromosomal instability in cultivated peanut
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).

Effects of habitat transition on the evolutionary patterns of the microgastropod genus Pseudamnicola (Mollusca, Hydrobiidae) [PDF]
Submitted: 8 October 2014, Accepted: 8 January 2015Molecular phylogenies of extant species are considered effective tools to infer mechanisms of speciation. Here, we benefit from this utility to investigate the evolutionary history of an organismal group

Two-gap superconductivity in Mo$_{8}$Ga$_{41}$ and its evolution upon the V substitution
Zero-field and transverse-field muon spin rotation/relaxation ($\mu$SR) experiments were undertaken in order to elucidate microscopic properties of a strongly-coupled superconductor Mo$_{8}$Ga$_{41}$ with $T_{\text{c}}=9.8$ K.
