open access: yes, 1984
The female of Ergasilus hydrolycus n. sp. is described from specimens taken from the gills of an Amazonian fish, Hydrolycus scomberoides (CUVIER). The new species is similar to E. bryconis THATCHER, 1981, and to E. jaraquensis THATCHER & ROBERTSON, 1982,

Osteology and arthrology of the ankle and tarsometatarsus of anoles (Iguania: Anolidae): not convergent with geckos but divergent from the ancestral iguanian condition

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...

Revised phylogenomic analysis and Cretaceous fossil evidence reveal new insights into evolution of Scirtinae (Coleoptera: Scirtidae)

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
The molecular phylogeny of Scirtinae based on ultraconserved elements is reanalyzed using the site‐heterogeneous model CAT‐GTR+G4. A new scirtine fossil, Serracyphon philipsi gen. et sp. nov., is reported from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, and its placement is evaluated in light of the updated phylogenomic framework of Scirtinae.

Filter feeders living on suspension feeders: New insights into the lifestyle and distribution of Arcturidae Dana, 1849 (Crustacea: Isopoda) around Iceland

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract The focus of the present study was on arcturid isopods occurring in the subarctic region around Iceland. Data from two decades of sampling with an epibenthic sledge (EBS) during numerous expeditions of the BIOICE (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic Waters; 1992–2004) and IceAGE (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology; 2011—ongoing ...

An upgraded key for identifying all native species, subspecies and varieties of the genus Carex (Cyperaceae) in Europe and the Caucasus

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The last pan‐European key to Carex taxa was published in 1980 by Chater. Since that time several new species have been described, and numerous nomenclatural changes, including the recognition that the former genus Kobresia should be incorporated into Carex as C. subg. Euthyceras, have been made. This article provides a comprehensive key to identify all
