Taxonomy and phylogeny of the intercontinental disjunctive ferns: series Reniformia Adiantum

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
There are disputed opinions about the three taxa of series Reniformia, namely A. nelumboides X.C.Zhang (A. reniforme var. sinense Y.X.Lin), A. reniforme var. reniforme, and A. reniforme var. asarifolium (Willd.) R. Sim, owing to their similar morphology but intercontinental disjunctive distribution and close lineage with the series Venusta (only ...

Twenty‐Year Progress in Landscape Genetics of Tetrapods

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Geographic distribution of tetrapod landscape genetics between 2003 and 2025. ABSTRACT Landscape genetics, an interdisciplinary field integrating population genetics, landscape ecology, and spatial analytical techniques, has progressed significantly over two decades, yet systematic reviews of its application to tetrapods remain limited. Here, we review

Ontogeny and Homology of the Shoulder Joint and Forelimb Muscles in Frogs and Toads (Lissamphibia: Anura)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 8, August 2026.
The ontogenetic development, innervation, and morphology of the shoulder joint and forelimb muscles were investigated in 11 anuran species. The results reveal largely conserved splitting patterns of the dorsal and ventral pre‐muscle masses, alongside interspecific variation in muscle subdivision and morphology.

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 ...

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 ...

An identification of invariants in life history traits of amphibians and reptiles

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
While many morphological, physiological, and ecological characteristics of organisms scale with body size, some do not change under size transformation. They are called invariant. A recent study recommended five criteria for identifying invariant traits.

A first record of Taringa caudata (Farran, 1905) (Nudibranchia: Discodorididae) from India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2015
The current study reports a first record of the sea slug Taringa caudata from India. Specimens were collected from the intertidal area of Dwarka, Gujarat. The ,morphology and anatomy have been studied for species identification.
