Too rough to be a Hypsibius: multipopulation survey accentuates the phylogenetic position and apomorphies of Hypsibius scabropygus (Eutardigrada: Hypsibiidae) [PDF]

open access: yesZoological Journal of the Linnean Society
Abstract Tardigrade taxonomy is undergoing a turbulent phase of reclassifying various species that have previously been gathered within large wastebasket genera, such as Diphascon or Hypsibius. The application of genetic sequencing, paired with detailed analysis of fine morphological features in 3D using scanning electron microscopy ...

Vessel elements of two thelypteroid ferns-part I

open access: yesBotanical Studies, 2020
Background Hydraulically efficient xylem was evolved in the vascular plants as an apomorphy of the group. Main xylem components involved in water conduction are tracheid and vessel.

From Cohesion to Norms: How Animal Groups Come, Stay, and Function Together

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 604-622, September 2026.
The present review underscores two salient points: In the context of evolutionary transitions to pair‐ and group living, it is imperative to acknowledge the distinction between selective forces that act during the origin of these social systems and those that act during their subsequent maintenance.

The Connections of the Telencephalic Pallium in the White Sturgeon, Acipenser transmontanus: An Experimental Study

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 8, August 2026.
Sturgeons are an ancient and basal group of ray‐finned fishes whose pallium consists of lateral, medial, and posterior divisions. The connections of these divisions were determined by injections of biotinylated dextran amine and DiI. Although there is considerable overlap in the connections of these pallial divisions, their heaviest connections are ...

Molecular Apomorphies in the Secondary and Tertiary Structures of Length-Variable Regions (LVRs) of 18S rRNA Shed Light on the Systematic Position of the Family Thaumastellidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomoidea)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
The SSU nrDNA, a small subunit of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (coding 18S rRNA), is one of the most frequently sequenced genes in molecular studies in Hexapoda. In insects, including true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera), only its primary structures (i.e., aligned sequences) are predominantly used in phylogenetic reconstructions.

Cytogenetic analysis of Baryancistrus xanthellus (Siluriformes: Loricariidae: Ancistrini), an ornamental fish endemic to the Xingu River, Brazil

open access: yesNeotropical Ichthyology
Baryancistrus xanthellus is a species from the Ancistrini tribe known commonly as "amarelinho " or "golden nugget pleco". It is one of the most popular and valued ornamental fishes due to its color pattern.

Temognatha sundholmi Lang sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), a New Species From the Great Victoria Desert and New Host Plants: An Investigation Using DNA Barcoding With Implications for Taxonomy of Temognatha and Melobasis

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A new species of jewel beetle, Temognatha sundholmi Lang, sp. nov., is described from the Great Victoria Desert in South Australia. A broader investigation, using mtDNA COI ‘barcode’ sequences from 178 specimens representing 54 buprestid species, places the new species with Temognatha flavocincta (Gory & Laporte, 1838) in the informal ...

Cell lineage analysis of the mandibular segment of the amphipod Orchestia cavimana reveals that the crustacean paragnaths are sternal outgrowths and not limbs

open access: yesFrontiers in Zoology, 2006
The question of arthropod head segmentation has become one of the central issues in Evolutionary Developmental Biology. The number of theories pertaining to head segments progressively enlarges, old concepts have been revitalized, and nearly every ...

Systematics of the Genus Hyalinaria Bethune‐Baker, 1910 (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) With Five New Species

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Oiketicinae genus Hyalinaria Bethune‐Baker, 1910, is revised. The use of both morphological information and genetic sequence data indicates that Hyalinaria and Pseudoclania Bethune‐Baker, 1915 sp. nov., are synonymous, with the latter genus here treated as a junior subjective synonym of the former.

Remnants of ancestral larval eyes in an eyeless mollusk? Molecular characterization of photoreceptors in the scaphopod Antalis entalis

open access: yesEvoDevo, 2019
Background Eyes have evolved and been lost multiple times during animal evolution, however, the process of eye loss has only been reconstructed in a few cases.
