Taxon Cycles in Neotropical Mangroves
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.

A new Dermatohomoeus from the Ulu Temburong forest, Brunei (Coleoptera, Leiodidae) [PDF]
‘Taxon expeditions’ are field courses/expeditions for mixed teams of scientists, students and lay people with the aim to do biodiversity inventories, particularly of cryptobiota and to discover and describe new species.During a taxon expedition to the ...

Two new Cochlostoma species from the Durmitor and Komarnica regions of northern Montenegro (Caenogastropoda, Cochlostomatidae) [PDF]
Slow-migrating gastropods are key indicators of habitat continuity, i.e. areas of relatively long-term ecological stability. The gastropod genus Cochlostoma (Architaenioglossa, Cochlostomatidae) is a common and widespread component of karst communities ...

Perfect Taxon Sampling and Fixing Taxon Traceability: Introducing a Class of Phylogenetically Decisive Collections of Taxon Sets [PDF]
Abstract 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 ...

Testing the dissociative taxon
A dissociative taxon has been proposed by Waller et al. (1996) to help identify individuals experiencing pathological dissociation. We studied the frequency of taxon membership and tested its validity. A total of 276 students and 204 psychiatric inpatients completed the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES).

Taxon Influence Index: Assessing Taxon-Induced Incongruities in Phylogenetic Inference [PDF]
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 ...

A new semi-slug of the genus Microparmarion from Brunei, discovered, described and DNA-barcoded on citizen-science 'taxon expeditions' (Gastropoda, Stylommatophora, Ariophantidae) [PDF]
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]
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.
