First molecular phylogenetic insights into the evolution of Eriocaulon (Eriocaulaceae, Poales) [PDF]

, 2019
Eriocaulon is a genus of c. 470 aquatic and wetland species of the monocot plant family Eriocaulaceae. It is widely distributed in Africa, Asia and America, with centres of species richness in the tropics.

Temporal stability and spatial patterns of genetic diversity in populations of the climate‐vulnerable fucoid Scytothalia dorycarpa

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is driving the loss of genetic diversity, potentially limiting species' capacity to adapt to environmental change. Detecting changes in genetic diversity requires replicated temporal data, which is lacking for most species. Here, we combined contemporary and historical specimens of the climate‐vulnerable fucoid Scytothalia ...

Analyzing multi-locus plant barcoding datasets with a composition vector method based on adjustable weighted distance. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundThe composition vector (CV) method has been proved to be a reliable and fast alignment-free method to analyze large COI barcoding data. In this study, we modify this method for analyzing multi-gene datasets for plant DNA barcoding. The modified

DNA barcoding as a molecular tool to track down mislabeling and food piracy [PDF]

, 2015
DNA barcoding is a molecular technology that allows the identification of any biological species by amplifying, sequencing and querying the information from genic and/or intergenic standardized target regions belonging to the extranuclear genomes ...

Hidden lineages in the African Sky Islands: A taxonomic reevaluation of Afrocarduus (Compositae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Species delimitation is crucial for biodiversity studies. Using Hyb‐Seq and phylogenomics, we reassessed Afrocarduus, endemic to Afromontane and Afroalpine regions, uncovering 16 evolutionary lineages (2.3 Mya). Morphological data support their distinctiveness, with acaulescence evolving independently twice. The traditionally broad A.

Integrative phylogenomics and morphology reveal the evolution and biogeography of Encephalartos (Zamiaceae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We aimed to conduct phylogenetic analyses of Encephalartos, a cycad genus endemic to Africa, using 3545 single‐copy nuclear genes extracted from transcriptome data, covering 64/65 of the recognized species, along with inference of divergence times using two secondary calibration points.

Efficiency of rubidium marking in Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae): preliminary evaluation on persistence of egg labeling, survival, and fecundity of marked female

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2004
Rubidium chloride (RbCl) has been used for the study of vector biology and behavior, although the efficacy of marking, egg production, and survivorship of marked females have been poorly studied. Four concentrations of RbCl were tested, among which 0.025
