Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1760-1778, August 2026.

The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Nomenclatural revision of Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) in the Baltic and Nordic countries including their oversea territories and Iceland

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Names in the genus Pinguicula established for taxa from the Baltic and Nordic countries, including their oversea territories and Iceland, were analyzed to provide nomenclatural and taxonomic clarity. Of the 33 names retrieved from the literature and online databases, one is illegitimate, two are invalid and 16 were found to require typification.

Revisiting the nomenclature of Carludovica microcephala, type species of Dicranopygium (Cyclanthaceae)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The name Carludovica microcephala, basionym of the type species of Dicranopygium (Cyclanthaceae), has long been attributed to J.D. Hooker (1892), based on plants cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. A reassessment of nineteenth‐century horticultural literature shows that the name had already been validly published 35 years earlier, in

Molecular phylogenetics of Thymelaeaceae‐Thymelaeoideae: Resolving the paraphyly of Gnidia and a new monophyletic generic classification for the group

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Earlier phylogenetic analyses of the family Thymelaeaceae using combined plastid (matK, rbcL, rps16, trnL‐F) and nuclear (ITS) regions showed that the African‐Malagasy genus Gnidia was extensively polyphyletic in relation to the southern African genera Lachnaea, Passerina and Struthiola, as well as to other Southern Hemisphere genera such as ...

Dolerus asper Zaddach, 1859 and Dolerus brevicornis Zaddach, 1859 (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae), with notes on their phylogeny

European Journal of Entomology, 2004
Concordant differences in morphology, phenology and RAMS markers, as well as in sequenced mtDNA (COI, COII, cytb) and nuclear DNA (ITS2) fragments, indicate that Dolerus asper Zaddach, 1859 and Dolerus brevicornis Zaddach, 1859 are valid species.
