Perfect taxon sampling and fixing taxon traceability: Introducing a class of phylogenetically decisive taxon sets [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Phylogenetically decisive sets 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 be combined into a common ...

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.

On the structure of psychoeducational constructs: taxometric analysis and epistemological implications [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyTaxometric analysis (TA) is a technique designed to elucidate the structure of a psychological construct, specifically determining whether the latent variable is categorical (taxon) or dimensional.

Host Taxon Predictor - A Tool for Predicting Taxon of the Host of a Newly Discovered Virus [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractRecent advances in metagenomics provided a valuable alternative to culture-based approaches for better sampling viral diversity. However, some of newly identified viruses lack sequence similarity to any of previously sequenced ones, and cannot be easily assigned to their hosts. Here we present a bioinformatic approach to this problem.

Taxon- and Site-Specific Melatonin Catabolism
Molecules, 2017 Melatonin is catabolized both enzymatically and nonenzymatically. Nonenzymatic processes mediated by free radicals, singlet oxygen, other reactive intermediates such as HOCl and peroxynitrite, or pseudoenzymatic mechanisms are not species- or tissue ...

A new semi-slug of the genus Microparmarion from Brunei, discovered, described and DNA-barcoded on citizen-science 'taxon expeditions' (Gastropoda, Stylommatophora, Ariophantidae) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023 During citizen-science expeditions to the Ulu Temburong National Park, Brunei, several individuals were collected of a semi-slug species of the genus Microparmarion that, based on morphology and in-the-field DNA-barcoding, was found to be an undescribed ...

New records of moth flies (Diptera, Psychodidae) for the Dutch Fauna [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023 Prior to this study, the moth flies in The Netherlands were represented by 61 species. Our findings derive from a citizen-science expedition in the Vondelpark in Amsterdam, one of the oldest public parks and best known parks in The Netherlands.

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.

Anti-Microbiota Vaccines Modulate the Tick Microbiome in a Taxon-Specific Manner
bioRxiv, 2021 Anti-tick microbiota vaccines have been shown to impact tick feeding but its specificity has not been demonstrated. In this study we aimed to investigate the impact of immune targeting of keystone microbiota bacteria on tick performance, and tick ...

Soil Biogeochemical Cycle Couplings Inferred from a Function-Taxon Network
Research, 2021 Soil biogeochemical cycles and their interconnections play a critical role in regulating functions and services of environmental systems. However, the coupling of soil biogeochemical processes with their mediating microbes remains poorly understood. Here,
