Phylogenomic approach to integrative taxonomy resolves a century‐old taxonomic puzzle and the evolutionary history of the Acromyrmex octospinosus species complex

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 469-494, July 2025.
A comprehensive, integrative study approach combining morphology, population genetics, phylogenetics and biogeography revealed that the Acromyrmex octospinosus species complex consists of two species: A. octospinosus and its social parasite A. insinuator.

A meta‐analysis of the effect of visiting zoos and aquariums on visitors’ conservation knowledge, beliefs, and behavior

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Zoos and aquariums are well placed to connect visitors with the issues facing biodiversity globally and many deliver interventions that seek to influence visitors’ beliefs and behaviors with respect to conservation. However, despite primary studies evaluating the effect of such interventions, the overall effect of engaging with zoos and the ...

Social participation challenges and response strategies identified by adults aging with a disability

Journal of Elder Policy, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 95-109, October 2024.
Abstract Social participation is likely to decrease among older adults as disability levels increase. However, it is a modifiable determinant of health that can impact older adults' well‐being and quality of life. Thus, this secondary data analysis aimed to understand what challenges older adults aging with a mobility or vision disability face with ...

Global invasion and biosecurity risk from the online trade in ornamental crayfish

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, October 2024.
Abstract Trade in undomesticated ornamental animals has rapidly expanded beyond brick‐and‐mortar retail stores to now include growing numbers of internet marketplaces. The growing volume, diversity, and origins of invasive non‐native species in trade challenge already weak national biosecurity policies.

Phylogeography of the Iberian endemic butterfly Erebia palarica Chapman, 1905 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae): An integrative approach Filoxeografía do endemismo ibérico Erebia palarica Chapman, 1905 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae): un enfoque integrador

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 651-675, July 2024.
A double star‐like pattern in the COI haplotype network of Erebia palarica suggests a demographic expansion from two ancestral populations in this Iberian montane endemic. Seven microsatellite markers revealed a pattern of isolation by distance (IBD) along the Cantabrian Mountains, as opposed to different levels of genetic structure found in western ...

Relationships of the wild peanut species, section Arachis: A resource for botanical classification, crop improvement, and germplasm management

American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract Premise Wild species are strategic sources of valuable traits to be introduced into crops through hybridization. For peanut, the 33 currently described wild species in the section Arachis are particularly important because of their sexual compatibility with the domesticated species, Arachis hypogaea.

Causes and effects of sampling bias on marine Western Atlantic biodiversity knowledge

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract Aim Knowledge gaps and sampling bias can lead to underestimations of species richness and distortions in the known distribution of species. The goal of this study is to identify potential gaps and biases in marine organisms sampling at the Western Atlantic Ocean, determine their causes and assess its effect on biodiversity metrics.

Impact on species' online attention when named after celebrities

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Celebrities can generate substantial attention and influence public interest in species. Using a large‐scale examination of publicly available data, we assessed whether species across 6 taxonomic groups received more page views on Wikipedia when the species was named after a celebrity than when it was not.

Trials and tribulations of Neotropical plant taxonomy: Pace of tree species description

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 515-527, March 2024.
Given the current unprecedented concerns for global biodiversity loss, it is critical to identify best practices for describing new species more efficiently so we can complete the inventory of the Neotropical flora and implement appropriate conservation strategies in a timely manner.
