ViCTree: an automated framework for taxonomic classification from protein sequences [PDF]
Motivation: The increasing rate of submission of genetic sequences into public databases is providing a growing resource for classifying the organisms that these sequences represent.

ABSTRACT Assessing genetic structure across ocean basins is essential to understand connectivity and guide conservation in data‐deficient open‐water sharks. In this study, we examined the population genomics of Squalus cf. mitsukurii by analyzing tissue samples collected from two distant regions: California, USA (Pacific Ocean) and Pernambuco, Brazil ...

Establishment of six new Rhabdoblatta species (Blattodea, Blaberidae, Epilamprinae) from China [PDF]
This study examined 504 Rhabdoblatta specimens sampled from China, of which, 86 Rhabdoblatta specimens were used for COI sequencing. A phylogenetic analysis using the ML method and MOTUs estimations by ABGD and GMYC based on COI sequences was performed ...

Taxonomic Complexity and Conservation Implications of Mediterranean Mesophotic Rhodolith Beds
ABSTRACT Rhodolith beds are bioconstructions formed by coralline algae (Rhodophyta: Corallinophycidae) and are ecologically important worldwide because they provide habitats that support diverse biocenoses. However, conservation efforts are limited by gaps in our knowledge of their spatial distribution and species composition.

Cryptic diversity of Synchaeta spp. (Rotifera, Monogononta) in mountain lakes: relationships with environmental parameters [PDF]
Cryptic species (i.e. distinct species that are morphologically similar) may have different ecological requirements and their merging into one species can bias the assessment of the main ecological drivers of biodiversity.

Alpine endemic spiders shed light on the origin and evolution of subterranean species [PDF]
We designed a comparative study to unravel the phylogeography of two Alpine endemic spiders characterized by a different degree of adaptation to subterranean life: Troglohyphantes vignai (Araneae, Linyphiidae) and Pimoa rupicola (Araneae, Pimoidae), the ...

New Mitogenomic Resources for the Caiman yacare (Daudin, 1802) From Bolivia
New mitochondrial genomes were generated to enhance the mitochondrial genetic resources available for Caiman yacare. Mitochondrial genomes of approximately 16 kb were obtained through genome skimming using Illumina sequencing technology. The assemblies revealed a composition typical of vertebrate mitogenomes, including 13 protein‐coding genes, 2 rRNA ...

Natural enemies of armored scales (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) and soft scales (Hemiptera: Coccoidae) in Chile: molecular and morphological identification. [PDF]
Scale insects (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccomorpha) are key pests of agricultural crops and ornamental plants worldwide. Their populations are difficult to control, even with insecticides, due to their cryptic habits.

UITOTO: a software for generating molecular diagnoses for species descriptions
Abstract Millions of species remain undescribed, and each eventually will require a species description with a diagnosis. Yet, we lack software that can derive state‐specific and contrastive molecular diagnoses and allows the user to validate them based on all available sequences for the taxon under study. Here we introduce UITOTO, which addresses this
