Partitioning taxon, phylogenetic and functional beta diversity into replacement and richness difference components

, 2014
To propose a unified framework for quantifying taxon (Tβ), phylogenetic (Pβ) and functional (Fβ) beta diversity via pairwise comparisons of communities, which allows these types of beta diversity to be partitioned into ecologically meaningful additive ...

Analysis of plant metabolomics data using identification‐free approaches

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant metabolomes are structurally diverse. One of the most popular techniques for sampling this diversity is liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC‐MS), which typically detects thousands of peaks from single organ extracts, many representing true metabolites.

The PteridoPortal: A publicly accessible collection of over three million records of extant and extinct pteridophytes

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Pteridophytes—vascular land plants that disperse by spores—are a powerful system for studying plant evolution, particularly with respect to the impact of abiotic factors on evolutionary trajectories through deep time. However, our ability to use pteridophytes to investigate such questions—or to capitalize on the ecological and ...

A new spin on chemotaxonomy: Using non‐proteogenic amino acids as a test case

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Specialized metabolites serve various roles for plants and humans. Unlike core metabolites, specialized metabolites are restricted to certain plant lineages; thus, in addition to their ecological functions, specialized metabolites can serve as diagnostic markers of plant lineages.

OptimOTU: Taxonomically aware OTU clustering with optimized thresholds and a bioinformatics workflow for metabarcoding data [PDF]

arXiv
To turn environmentally derived metabarcoding data into community matrices for ecological analysis, sequences must first be clustered into operational taxonomic units (OTUs). This task is particularly complex for data including large numbers of taxa with incomplete reference libraries.
