Species traits modulate ecological release in island red devil spiders (Araneae: Dysderidae)

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We studied the species ability to undergo an ecological release process in the red devil spiders (Araneae: Dysderidae) when colonising species‐depauperate environments, focusing on different aspects of their niche. We have found that the ability to expand their niche is highly dependent on the species trophic strategy, with specialist species being ...

First report of mitogenome of Subclytia rotundiventris (Diptera, Tachinidae) yielded by next-generation sequencing

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The mitochondrial genome of Subclytia rotundiventris (Fallén, 1820) belongs to the subfamily Phasiinae of Tachinidae, was obtained using a next-generation sequencing approach. This 15,574 bp mitogenome consists of 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding

So Young, So Rich: Habitat Shifts Combined With Trait Evolution Promoted Species Radiation in Senecio in the Andes

Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The outstanding Andean biodiversity has been linked to the occurrence of evolutionary radiations that are common among high‐elevation plant lineages. One of the most iconic examples is found in the species‐rich genus Senecio, with an impressive variation in growth forms and habitat preference.

The monophyly and the classification of the terrestrial isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea)

Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza, 2020
In accordance with our previous opinions (Tabacaru and Danielopol, 1996, 1999; Tabacaru and Giurginca, 2014, 2019), we argue again the monophyly of Oniscidea one of the well-defined suborders of the Order Isopoda.

Origin and Biogeography of the Colourful Sap‐Sucking Sea Slugs Genus Thuridilla Bergh, 1872 (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Heterobranchia)

Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Thuridilla Bergh, 1872, is a lineage of herbivorous sea slugs externally distinguished by bright colours and distinctive patterns of lines and spots. Recent work revealed an exceptionally rapid, cryptic radiation of 13 species in the Indo‐Pacific, raising questions about mechanisms of speciation in this group.

Assessing the intraspecific osteological variation in the spottail shiner (Hudsonius hudsonius) (Cypriniformes: Leuciscidae)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hudsonius hudsonius (Cypriniformes: Leuciscidae), commonly known as the spottail shiner, is a small cyprinoid fish species found across much of North America. H. hudsonius has traditionally been regarded as one of the most basal and plesiomorphic species among the notropin fishes, that is, fishes traditionally placed in or associated with the ...

New phylogenomic data support the monophyly of Lophophorata and an Ectoproct-Phoronid clade and indicate that Polyzoa and Kryptrochozoa are caused by systematic bias

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2013
BackgroundWithin the complex metazoan phylogeny, the relationships of the three lophophorate lineages, ectoprocts, brachiopods and phoronids, are particularly elusive.

Extensive diversity of Symbiochlorum‐related algae from environmental sequences and culture strains supports the description of the new family Symbiochloraceae (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Symbiochlorum, initially described from a single strain isolated from a coral in the South China Sea, was shown to be a sister lineage of Ignatius within the green algal order Ignatiales. Its significant phylogenetic divergence from Ignatius raises the possibility of its classification as a new family.

Molecular phylogenetic analyses support the monophyly of Hexapoda and suggest the paraphyly of Entognatha

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2013
Molecular phylogenetic analyses have revealed that Hexapoda and Crustacea form a common clade (the Pancrustacea), which is now widely accepted among zoologists; however, the origin of Hexapoda remains unresolved.
