Integrating coalescent species delimitation with analysis of host specificity reveals extensive cryptic diversity despite minimal mitochondrial divergence in the malaria parasite genus Leucocytozoon

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Coalescent methods that use multi-locus sequence data are powerful tools for identifying putatively reproductively isolated lineages, though this approach has rarely been used for the study of microbial groups that are likely to harbor many ...

Population structure of the endangered Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans revealed by genomic and mitochondrial data

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
The Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans is an arboreal rodent with a distribution range that covers large parts of the Eurasian taiga forest zone. However, extensive forestry has resulted in widespread local population declines and extinctions in recent decades.

Evaluation of multilocus marker efficacy for delineating mangrove species of West Coast India.

PLoS ONE, 2017
The plant DNA barcoding is a complex and requires more than one marker(s) as compared to animal barcoding. Mangroves are diverse estuarine ecosystem prevalent in the tropical and subtropical zone, but anthropogenic activity turned them into the ...

Integrating a Numerical Taxonomic Method and Molecular Phylogeny for Species Delimitation of Melampsora Species (Melampsoraceae, Pucciniales) on Willows in China.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The species in genus Melampsora are the causal agents of leaf rust diseases on willows in natural habitats and plantations. However, the classification and recognition of species diversity are challenging because morphological characteristics are scant ...

Integrative taxonomy reveals a new species of the soapfish genus Rypticus (Teleostei: Grammistidae) from the eastern Atlantic Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 5, Page 1543-1552, November 2025.
Abstract A new species of the soapfish genus Rypticus is described based on 14 specimens from the eastern Atlantic Ocean. The new species was previously misidentified as the greater soapfish, R. saponaceus, due to their similar appearance. However, it differs from R.

Molecular Investigation of the Diversity of Cirratulidae (Annelida) Doubles the Number of Known Species in European Waters

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 672-683, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Cirratulidae is a group of common marine benthic annelids with about 397 nominal species described worldwide, 58 of which are reported in European waters. Due to the general morphological homogeneity among species from several genera, this group is considered difficult to identify to species level, has a complex taxonomical and nomenclatural ...
