Introduced Pheidole of the world: taxonomy, biology and distribution. [PDF]
The objective of this study is to provide a detailed taxonomic resource for identifying and studying ants in the genus Pheidole that have established beyond their native ranges. There is an increasing need for systematists to study taxa of specific concern to 21(st) century environmental, food security and public health challenges.

Blastocystis: Taxonomy, biology and virulence.
The unicellular protist Blastocystis has long been an unsolved puzzle for taxonomists, microbiologists and clinicians. Over the years, the organism has been bounced on and off the different branches of the tree of life due the possession of unique phenotypic characters intermediary to different organisms.

Pathogenic Fungi—Structural Biology and Taxonomy [PDF]
Structural Biology and Taxonomy is the first volume in a series authored by leading medical mycologists. The series' scope is to review progress in basic research on zoopathogenic fungi, a timely effort as medical mycology moves into the genomics era. General knowledge of fungal pathogens is assumed. This volume begins by discussing the cell wall which,

Reconciling taxonomy and phylogenetic inference: formalism and algorithms for describing discord and inferring taxonomic roots [PDF]
Although taxonomy is often used informally to evaluate the results of phylogenetic inference and find the root of phylogenetic trees, algorithmic methods to do so are lacking. In this paper we formalize these procedures and develop algorithms to solve the relevant problems. In particular, we introduce a new algorithm that solves a "subcoloring" problem
