Taxon Cycles in Neotropical Mangroves
Plants, 2023 The concept of the taxon cycle involves successive range expansions and contractions over time, through which a species can indefinitely maintain its core distribution. Otherwise, it becomes extinct.

Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Open Data, 2013 In this paper, we describe the development of the first ontology module for observation of pest attacks in crop production. We applied the NeOn methodology and more particularly the ontology engineering method based on Ontology Design Pattern.

Taxon Influence Index: Assessing Taxon-Induced Incongruities in Phylogenetic Inference [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2012 Understanding the evolutionary history of species is at the core of molecular evolution and is done using several inference methods. The critical issue is to quantify the uncertainty of the inference. The posterior probabilities in Bayesian phylogenetic inference and the bootstrap values in frequentist approaches measure the variability of the ...

On the Unnecessary and Misleading Taxon “Cetartiodactyla”
Journal of Mammalian Evolution, 2021 The name “Cetartiodactyla” was proposed in 1997 to reflect the molecular data that suggested that Cetacea is closely related to Artiodactyla. Since then, that taxon has spread in popularity, even outside the scientific literature. However, the implica- tions of the name are confusing, because Cetacea and Artiodactyla are not sister-taxa.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Adaptation of microbial communities to anthropogenic stressors can lead to reductions in microbial diversity and disequilibrium of ecosystem services. Such adaptation can change the molecular signatures of communities with differences in taxonomic and ...

Match Algorithms for Scientific Names in FlorItaly, the Portal to the Flora of Italy
Plants, 2021 Scientific names are not part of everyday language in any modern country, and their input as strings in a query system can be easily associated with typographical errors.

Perfect Taxon Sampling and Fixing Taxon Traceability: Introducing a Class of Phylogenetically Decisive Collections of Taxon Sets. [PDF]
Bull Math BiolAbstract Phylogenetically decisive collections of taxon sets have the property that if trees are chosen for each of their elements, as long as these trees are compatible, the resulting supertree is unique. This means that as long as the trees describing the phylogenetic relationships of the (input) species sets are compatible, they can only ...

Why Vouchers Matter in Botanical Research
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2013 What is a voucher and why is it important in research? As a preserved specimen of an identified taxon deposited in a permanent and accessible storage facility, the voucher serves as the supporting material for published studies of the taxon and ensures ...

International Journal of Secondary Metabolite, 2017 Apple is cultivated in most of the temperate regions due to the fruit’s quality, its easiness to propagate, and its natural aptitude to bear. Malus classifications differ primarily in the taxonomic level at which infrageneric groupings of species are ...
