Diversity and differentiation of the Chelonus (Microchelonus) species of the Galapagos archipelago (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae) [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research
Despite the significance of the Galapagos archipelago, the richness of diverse groups such as braconid wasps remains poorly studied. Seven species of chelonine Braconidae are recorded for the Galapagos islands for the first time: Chelonus buscki Viereck,

Expert Perspective: Toward Treat‐to‐Target Management in Adult Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Treat‐to‐target (T2T) has transformed the management of several rheumatic diseases through predefined therapeutic goals, structured disease assessment, and timely treatment adjustment. Despite major advances in the understanding and treatment of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), a formal T2T framework for adult IIM has not yet been established.

Evolutionary framework and tribal circumscription of Amaranthaceae sensu stricto based on a comprehensive phylogenomic analysis

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolutionary history of Amaranthaceae sensu stricto (s.s.) has been shaped by multiple whole‐genome duplications and rapid radiations, producing an ecologically diverse lineage whose internal relationships have long remained unresolved.

A revised classification system of the marronoid clade of spiders (Araneae), based on dense sampling phylogenomics and comparative morphology

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...
