Novel biodiversity and biogeography insights of filamentous Bangiales (Rhodophyta) from China

ALGAE
The taxonomy of filamentous Bangiales was challenging due to its plastic and simple morphology. Molecular approaches play a significant role in revealing cryptic biodiversity and resolving phylogenetic relationships.

Hidden Diversity of Cave Millipedes From Mainland Southeast Asia Revealed by Species Delimitation and Phylogenetic Analysis, With a Description of a New Genus (Spirostreptida: Cambalopsidae)

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research
Southeast Asia’s karst landscapes host a remarkable yet understudied diversity of cave‐dwelling fauna, where morphological conservatism often masks true species boundaries.

Using molecular taxonomy to identify Scinax (Anura: Hylidae): New distribution records and implications for Neotropical biodiversity

Genetics and Molecular Biology
Traditional morphological identification is challenging in large and diverse groups, such as the genus Scinax, which comprises about 78 species, and molecular taxonomy emerges as an efficient tool for species delimitation.

Cryptic Diversity within the Endemic Mekong Giant Earthworm, Amynthas mekongianus (Cognetti, 1922) (Clitellata: Megascolecidae) Across the Lower Mekong River Basin with Descriptions of a New Species

Tropical Natural History
The Lower Mekong Basin is recognized as a region of remarkable biodiversity. However, it is currently experiencing severe degradation due to rapid economic development and the intensifying effects of climate change. Numerous species, including earthworms,

A new sexually dimorphic Rainbowia (Prostigmata, Parasitengona) species from Chile

Systematic and Applied Acarology
Rainbowia Southcott, 1961 (Parasitengona, Erythraeidae) are large mites often found under tree bark in southern Australia. The genus has two species: Rainbowia celeripes (Rainbow, 1906) and Rainbowia imperator (Hirst, 1928).

On the taxonomy and distribution of Diamesa gregsoni Edwards, (Diptera: Chironomidae: Diamesinae), with morphological redescription and DNA barcoding of species from the Far East.

Zootaxa
By analyzing the DNA barcoding data of the Diamesa gregsoni Edwards syntype, we carried out a genetic study of this species from the Far East and made a comparison with DNA barcodes of North American populations.

Multi-Gene Analysis, Morphology, and Species Delimitation Methods Reveal a New Species of Melanothamnus, M. coxsbazarensis sp. nov. (Rhodomelaceae, Ceramiales), for the Marine Red Algal Flora from Bangladesh

Diversity
Some Melanothamnus species have been documented growing epiphytically on other algae in seaweed aquaculture farms as fouling organisms. Such turf-forming Polysiphonia-looking algae were collected from a small (
