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 ...

Museomic phylogenomics of Orthosiinae (Apocynaceae) integrating targeted sequencing and morphology
TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Museum collections offer valuable resources for phylogenetic research, especially in taxonomically challenging groups. Here, we present a phylogenetic study of the South American Apocynaceae subtribe Orthosiinae, based on sequencing 835 nuclear genes and chloroplast genomes from ~120 species using a family‐specific probe set and multiple ...

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract The genus Kartalinia was described to accommodate a single, obscure species, Psoralea acaulis, based on its unique morphology and karyology. No concerted molecular phylogenetic studies were available for this species at the time, and therefore its phylogenetic position was uncertain.

Transient Ecological Niches for Diazotrophs in Upwelling Bays
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Diazotrophs, microorganisms capable of fertilizing the ocean through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), are widespread in the oceans, including upwelling bays. However, their ability to respond to short‐lived upwelling pulses, lasting only a few days, remains poorly understood. To investigate diazotrophy across temporal scales, we analyzed 18

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...
