High diversity of Phytophthora species in natural ecosystems and nurseries of Portugal: Detrimental side effect of plant introductions from the age of discovery to modern globalization

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 2, Page 330-362, February 2025.
High diversity of known and new, mostly exotic Phytophthora species in forests, nurseries and streams across Portugal and numerous associated forest tree declines are a consequence of long‐term plant introductions and outplantings.

Eyeing DNA barcoding for species identification of fish larvae

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 105, Issue 6, Page 1784-1799, December 2024.
Abstract Identification of fish larvae based on morphology is typically limited to higher taxonomic ranks (e.g., family or order), as larvae possess few morphological diagnostic characters for precise discrimination to species. When many samples are presented at any one time, the use of morphology to identify such specimens can be laborious and time ...
