Global patterns of parasite diversity in cephalopods
Scientific Reports, 2020 We compiled an updated global catalogue of parasites in cephalopods. Data were used to assess changes in taxonomic distinctness of parasites over two centuries and across the world’s oceans, to quantify turnover and nestedness components of parasite β ...

A taxonomic review of the genus Rhinoceros with emphasis on the distinction of Eurhinoceros (Perissodactyla, Rhinocerotidae) [PDF]
ZooKeysThis study examines the ecomorphological characteristics of two Asian rhinoceros species: the critically endangered Sundaic rhinoceros and the vulnerable Indian rhinoceros. Among the five living rhinoceros taxa, the three Asian species are notable for their tusked incisors.

Sponge-Associated Polychaetes: Not a Random Assemblage
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Polychaetes are among the most common marine organisms, and in many habitats they dominate both in species richness and abundance. They are often found in association with other organisms.

Can taxonomic richness be used as a surrogate for phylogenetic distinctness indices for ranking areas for conservation? [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2003 Several methods have been proposed for evaluating area conservation priorities. Here the performance of traditional approaches (taxonomic richness) versus newer methods of phylogenetic distinctness is compared using the results and data from three ...

Phylogenetic measures applied to the conservation of Mexican marsupials
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2015 The didelphimorphs in Mexico are found all over the country except for the Baja California Peninsula. The aim of this study was to use three methods to assess the phylogenetic diversity of the species: Marmosa mexicana, Tlacuatzin canescens, Caluromys ...

Diversity and composition of demersal fishes along a depth gradient assessed by baited remote underwater stereo-video. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Continental slopes are among the steepest environmental gradients on earth. However, they still lack finer quantification and characterisation of their faunal diversity patterns for many parts of the world.
