Taxon names and varieties of reference [PDF]

open access: yesHistory and Philosophy of the Life Sciences, 2021
Linnaean-style, rank-based codes of taxonomic nomenclature provide stability to the relation between taxon names and their referents through the device of nomenclatural types. The practice of using types to tether names to taxa is uncontroversial and well-understood.

A biologically inspired meta-control navigation system for the Psikharpax rat robot [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A biologically inspired navigation system for the mobile rat-like robot named Psikharpax is presented, allowing for self-localization and autonomous navigation in an initially unknown environment. The ability of parts of the model (e. g.

Pseudopaludicola ternetzi (Anura: Leiuperidae): two lectotypes for the same taxon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Pseudopaludicola ternetzi was described on the basis of an undefined number of syntypes, but involving males and females (Miranda-Ribeiro 1937). Since Miranda-Ribeiro described this species, several taxonomic considerations were made on it.

Managing Taxon Data in FinBIF

open access: yesBiodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2019
The Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility, FinBIF (https://species.fi), has developed its own taxon database. This allows FinBIF taxon specialists to maintain their own, expert-validated view of Finnish species. The database covers national needs and can be rapidly expanded by our own development team.

Host Taxon Predictor - A Tool for Predicting Taxon of the Host of a Newly Discovered Virus [PDF]

open access: yesScientific 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.

Identifying evolutionary trees and substitution parameters for the general Markov model with invariable sites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The general Markov plus invariable sites (GM+I) model of biological sequence evolution is a two-class model in which an unknown proportion of sites are not allowed to change, while the remainder undergo substitutions according to a Markov process on a ...
