Taxonomic Novelty and Distinctive Genomic Features of Hot Spring Cyanobacteria [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Several cyanobacterial species are dominant primary producers in hot spring microbial mats. To date, hot spring cyanobacterial taxonomy, as well as the evolution of their genomic adaptations to high temperatures, are poorly understood, with genomic information currently available for only a few dominant genera, including Fischerella and Synechococcus ...

Getting the ‘most out of the hotspot’ for practical conservation of groundwater biodiversity
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Conservation planning aimed at halting biodiversity loss has seldom focused on groundwater environments due to the lack of suitable management tools and data.

Period of the day drives distinctions in the taxonomic and functional structures of reef fish assemblages. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Circadian processes are key drivers of animal behaviour, influencing patterns of activity, resource partitioning and competition avoidance. Studies evaluating circadian changes on the structure of marine assemblages are lacking, especially for reef fish.

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2023 Abstract Background The taxonomy of Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is based on a classification system focused on the description of clinicopathological features of KS in geographically and clinically diverse populations. The classification includes classic, endemic, epidemic/HIV associated and iatrogenic KS, and KS in men who have

STATISTICAL TESTS FOR TAXONOMIC DISTINCTIVENESS FROM OBSERVATIONS OF MONOPHYLY [PDF]
Evolution, 2007 The observation of monophyly for a specified set of genealogical lineages is often used to place the lineages into a distinctive taxonomic entity. However, it is sometimes possible that monophyly of the lineages can occur by chance as an outcome of the random branching of lineages within a single taxon.

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2015 We use two taxonomic indexes to assess the variability of the taxonomic structure and diversity of the ichthyofauna of two low-energy environments in southern Brazil and to compare the temporal patterns of these two ichthyofaunas.

Taxonomic distinctness poorly reflects floristic quality in a wetland study system
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Biomonitoring typically uses taxonomic diversity information while ignoring phylogenetic diversity. Evolutionary relatedness may offer deeper insight to how local assemblages relate with human disturbance and ecological degradation.

Concordant biogeographic patterns among multiple taxonomic groups in the Mexican freshwater biota. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In this paper we analyse the degree of concordance in species richness and taxonomic distinctness (diversity) patterns among different freshwater taxonomic groups in order to test three long held patterns described in Mexican freshwater biogeography: 1 ...
