Modern Data on the Innervation of the Lophophore in Lingula anatina (Brachiopoda) Support the Monophyly of the Lophophorates

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Evolutionary relationships among members of the Lophophorata remain unclear. Traditionally, the Lophophorata included three phyla: Brachiopoda, Bryozoa or Ectoprocta, and Phoronida.

Integrative taxonomy of the Ceratozamia mexicana Brongn. (Zamiaceae) species complex from a phylogeographic perspective

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, EarlyView.
Recent research has ignited a renewed interest in Ceratozamia cycads, unveiling their remarkable diversity. While previous studies primarily focused on morphology, this investigation employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating phylogenetics, morphology, and ecological niches. Our methods identify seven distinct lineages as separate species.

The “Naked Coral” Hypothesis Revisited – Evidence for and Against Scleractinian Monophyly

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The relationship between Scleractinia and Corallimorpharia, Orders within Anthozoa distinguished by the presence of an aragonite skeleton in the former, is controversial.

Optimization and Evaluation of the bestRAD Sequencing Approach: Towards Ascertainment of the Invasion Routes of the Oriental Fruit Fly, Bactrocera dorsalis

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The bestRAD technique is a reduced genome representation approach with high‐capacity sample multiplexing and physical isolation of biotin‐labelled target DNA fragments using streptavidin beads, which should reduce total cost and genotyping errors. While we here formalise the relevance of this approach within the HTS landscape, our foremost aim

The changing views on the evolutionary relationships of extant Salamandridae (Amphibia: Urodela). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
The phylogenetic relationships among members of the family Salamandridae have been repeatedly investigated over the last 90 years, with changing character and taxon sampling. We review the changing composition and the phylogenetic position of salamandrid

Re‐make, re‐model: evolution and development of vertebrate cranial lateral lines

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lateral lines are placodally derived mechanosensory systems on the heads and trunks of many aquatic vertebrates. There is evidence of lateral lines in the earliest known vertebrate fossils, and they exist in organisms with widely different craniofacial morphologies – including the presence or absence of jaws, external or internal nostrils, and

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the high-altitude Brazilian tree frog Bokermannohyla alvarengai (Anura, Hylidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
The first complete mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) for the genus Bokermannohyla (Hylidae) is presented. The mtDNA contains 17,325 bp and is similar in size, gene content, and gene location to other hylid mitochondrial genomes described, with 2 rRNA, 22 tRNA,
