Molecular phylogenetics of Thymelaeaceae‐Thymelaeoideae: Resolving the paraphyly of Gnidia and a new monophyletic generic classification for the group

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Earlier phylogenetic analyses of the family Thymelaeaceae using combined plastid (matK, rbcL, rps16, trnL‐F) and nuclear (ITS) regions showed that the African‐Malagasy genus Gnidia was extensively polyphyletic in relation to the southern African genera Lachnaea, Passerina and Struthiola, as well as to other Southern Hemisphere genera such as ...

Accurate Identification of Key Groups of Microeukaryotes Using Multimodal Deep Learning: An Integrated Classification Model Combining Morphological and Molecular Data

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Traditional classification of flagellates (i.e., flagellated protists) relies on morphological traits or a single molecular marker, which suffer from subjectivity and limited data sources. This study proposes a multimodal deep learning model, Residual Multi‐Feature Attention‐50 (ResMFA50), that integrates photomicrographs and small subunit ...

Tonic immobility behaviour does not differ between fire salamander larvae from ponds and streams

Ecology and Evolution
Tonic immobility is an antipredator defence in which the prey animal remains motionless after physical contact with the predator, pretending to be dead.

The identity of Albuca caudata Jacq. (Hyacinthaceae) and a description of a new related species: A. bakeri

PhytoKeys, 2011
The name Albuca caudata Jacq. has been widely misunderstood or even ignored since its description in 1791. After studying herbarium specimens and living populations in South Africa, plants fitting Jacquin´s concept of that species are found to be ...

Study on Life History Strategies of Anurans in Tropical Rainforest: Lifespan and Age at Sexual Maturity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study presents the first comprehensive analysis of lifespan and age at sexual maturity in seven common anuran species from Hainan Island's tropical rainforest, filling a critical gap in tropical amphibian ecology. The results reveal significant interspecific variation in lifespan (5 ~ 9 years) and maturity age (3 ~ 5 years), indicating a “slow ...

Replace, reduce, refine: A review of animal use in Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans research

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Animal experimentation is common in wildlife disease research. Understanding the impact of this often‐lethal approach is therefore a critical line of inquiry at the intersection of animal welfare and conservation biology. The discovery of the pathogenic salamander chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) in 2013 ignited a large ...

Pyrumthecina n. Infraord.: Revisiting the Morphological Diversity and Identifying the Phylogenetic Home of Argynnia Within Arcellinida (Tubulinea: Amoebozoa)

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Arcellinida is a diverse lineage of testate amoebae within Amoebozoa, whose evolutionary history has been clarified through phylogenomics, resulting in a stable classification into suborders and infraorders. Yet, some taxa, such as the genus Argynnia, remain unplaced due to ambiguous morphology and uncertain positions in single‐gene ...
