Limited phylogeographic and genetic connectivity in Acacia species of low stature in an arid landscape

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Widespread plant species are expected to maintain genetic diversity and gene flow via pollen and seed dispersal. Stature is a key life history trait that affects seed and potentially pollen dispersal, with limited stature associated with limited ...

Sharing taxonomic expertise between natural history collections using image recognition [PDF]

open access: yesResearch Ideas and Outcomes, 2022
Natural history collections play a vital role in biodiversity research and conservation by providing a window to the past. The usefulness of the vast amount of historical data depends on their quality, with correct taxonomic identifications being the ...

Butterflies in bags: permanent storage of Lepidoptera in glassine envelopes [PDF]

open access: yesNota Lepidopterologica, 2019
In terms of amateurs and professionals studying and collecting insects, Lepidoptera represent one of the most popular groups. It is this popularity, in combination with wings being routinely spread during mounting, which results in Lepidoptera often ...

Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) metabarcoding of Foraminifera communities using taxon-specific primers [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2022
Foraminifera are a species-rich phylum of rhizarian protists that are highly abundant in most marine environments. Molecular methods such as metabarcoding have revealed a high, yet undescribed diversity of Foraminifera. However, so far only one molecular

As old as the hills: Pliocene palaeogeographical processes influence patterns of genetic structure in the widespread, common shrub Banksia sessilis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
The impact of Quaternary glaciation on the development of phylogeographic structure in plant species is well documented. In unglaciated landscapes, phylogeographic patterns tend to reflect processes relating to persistence and stochasticity, yet other ...

Morphometric and morphological characterization of chicken resources adapted to pastoral and agropastoral areas of southern Ethiopia

open access: yesGenetic Resources, 2021
Thirteen qualitative and six quantitative variables taken from 303 adult chickens (95 cocks and 208 hens) from three locations/districts were used to phenotypically characterize the indigenous chicken populations in pastoral areas of South Omo Zone ...
