Scrutinizing the Wallacean shortfall: global gaps in snake occurrence data across space and environment

Ecography, EarlyView.
Occurrence records are fundamental for ecological and evolutionary research, providing key information on species' geographic ranges. However, these records are often taxonomically, spatially, and temporally biased, requiring caution in their use. Here, we analysed the spatial coverage of occurrence records for over 3500 snake species worldwide to ...

Individual movement modeling expands the power of migratory species observations: North Atlantic right whale case study

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding a population's distribution depends on observing the presence and movement of individuals throughout their range. For highly mobile marine species, these observations typically rely on high effort monitoring programs. Tracking enough individuals to understand trends in movement behavior is not always logistically feasible, and ...

Lectotypifications and taxonomic changes in the holoparasitic Orobanchaceae

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Based on further extensive studies of specimens in various herbaria, lectotypes are designated for many taxa of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae. In particular, 47 names in the genera Boschniakia (incl. Xylanche), Cistanche, Orobanche, Phelipanche and Phelypaea are lectotypified.

Reinstatement and generic reassignment of Phyllanthus asteranthos Croizat (Phyllanthaceae) based on living plant observations and specimen analysis

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Phyllanthus asteranthos Croizat has been treated as a synonym of P. pulcher Wall. ex Müll. Arg. (syn. Nymphanthus glaucescens (Miq.) R.W.Bouman) since 1987. Through detailed morphological observations of living plants and critical examinations of type materials and additional specimens, this study revealed that the two taxa are morphologically very ...

Amanita theophili sp. nov. (Amanitaceae) from central Mexico

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Amanita theophili sp. nov., a member of Amanita sect. Amidella (Amanitaceae), is described from temperate pine‐oak forests in Morelos, central Mexico. Morphological features and phylogenetic analyses based on ITS and 28S rDNA sequences confirm its distinct taxonomic status. The new species is morphologically similar to A. peckiana and A.

The High Seas at Your Fingertips: A Case Study of the Living Sailor Leveraging Community Science to Answer Decades Old Questions in High Seas Biogeography

Citizen Science: Theory and Practice
The open-ocean’s surface is host to a community of strange creatures adapted for life at the air-sea interface (neustonic zone). One species, the by-the-wind sailor (Velella velella), occasionally washes ashore in high numbers, and its appearance makes ...
