Antarctic bdelloid rotifers: diversity, endemism and evolution [PDF]

, 2015
Antarctica is an isolated continent whose conditions challenge the survival of living organisms. High levels of endemism are now known in many Antarctic organisms, including algae, tardigrades, nematodes and microarthropods.

How many cows are in the desert? Molecular phylogeny and species delimitation of the genus Gyriosomus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Pimeliinae) from the Atacama Desert

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
The newly systematic rearrangement of Gyriosomus recognizes 9 clades, validates 21 taxonomical species and suggests 12 synonyms and 12 species candidates. Three taxonomical species were not evaluated. Polymorphisms, convergences and crypsis have been detected, and therefore morphology‐based taxonomy should be approached with caution. Ecological drivers

Sexual species are separated by larger genetic gaps than asexual species in rotifers.

, 2014
Why organisms diversify into discrete species instead of showing a continuum of genotypic and phenotypic forms is an important yet rarely studied question in speciation biology.

Evolutionary history of Podarcis tiliguerta on Corsica and Sardinia. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Podarcis tiliguerta is a wall lizard endemic to the Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Sardinia. Previous findings of high mtDNA and morphological diversity have led to the suggestion that it may represent a species complex.

Diversity of Chewing Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) in the Indo‐Burma Biodiversity Hotspot

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The diversity of birds is well documented globally. However, the same attention has generally not been given to their parasites, which comprise many times their diversity. Here, we present data from a large‐scale survey of chewing lice found infesting birds in the Indo‐Burma biodiversity hotspot of western Yunnan, China.

Planarian (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida) Diversity and Molecular Markers: A New View of an Old Group [PDF]

, 2014
Planarians are a group of free-living platyhelminths (triclads) best-known largely due to long-standing regeneration and pattern formation research. However, the group"s diversity and evolutionary history has been mostly overlooked.

Species delimitation of Apharyngostrigea Ciurea, 1927 (Digenea: Diplostomoidea) based on morphology and molecular data from the Neotropical region of Mexico

Parasitology
The genus Apharyngostrigea comprises a group of diplostomoidean digeneans that parasitize birds of the family Ardeidae (herons), with approximately 20 species described worldwide.

Soup to tree: the phylogeny of beetles inferred by mitochondrial metagenomics of a Bornean rainforest sample [PDF]

, 2015
In spite of the growth of molecular ecology, systematics and next-generation sequencing, the discovery and analysis of diversity is not currently integrated with building the tree-of-life.
