New bryophyte taxon records for tropical countries 1 [PDF]
This is the first in a series of papers listing new records, which will be published whenever sufficient new records have been found. The taxa are arranged by countries for an easier evaluation, e.g. updates of checklists. The initials of the contributor

Polytraits : a database on biological traits of marine polychaetes [PDF]
The study of ecosystem functioning – the role which organisms play in an ecosystem – is becoming increasingly important in marine ecological research. The functional structure of a community can be represented by a set of functional traits assigned to ...

Phytoplankton Hotspot Prediction With an Unsupervised Spatial Community Model
Many interesting natural phenomena are sparsely distributed and discrete. Locating the hotspots of such sparsely distributed phenomena is often difficult because their density gradient is likely to be very noisy.

Changes in invertebrate assemblage composition in benthic and hyporheic zones during a severe supraseasonal drought [PDF]
Droughts are unpredictable disturbances characterized in streams by declining flow, reduced habitat availability, and deteriorating abiotic conditions.

Bayesian total evidence dating reveals the recent crown radiation of penguins [PDF]
The total-evidence approach to divergence-time dating uses molecular and morphological data from extant and fossil species to infer phylogenetic relationships, species divergence times, and macroevolutionary parameters in a single coherent framework ...

New records for Tephritidae (Diptera) in Great Smoky Mountains National Park [PDF]
As part of the All Taxon Biological Inventory (ATBI) being conducted in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP), we report new distribution and host plant records for nine Tephritidae ...

A simple fixed parameter tractable algorithm for computing the hybridization number of two (not necessarily binary) trees [PDF]
Here we present a new fixed parameter tractable algorithm to compute the hybridization number r of two rooted, not necessarily binary phylogenetic trees on taxon set X in time (6^r.r!).poly(n)$, where n=|X|.

Perfect taxon sampling and phylogenetically decisive taxon coverage
In a recent study, Steel and Sanderson defined and characterized phylogenetically decisive sets of taxon sets. A set is called phylogenetically decisive if regardless of the trees chosen for each of its taxon sets, as long as these trees are compatible ...

ranacapa: An R package and Shiny web app to explore environmental DNA data with exploratory statistics and interactive visualizations. [PDF]
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is becoming a core tool in ecology and conservation biology, and is being used in a growing number of education, biodiversity monitoring, and public outreach programs in which professional research scientists engage
